Twins won the first two games, Dodgers came back to win the series in seven, on the strength of two shutouts from Sandy Koufax (who famously didn’t pitch Game 1 because it fell on Yom Kippur).
Suck it, trivia dude at the Bottleneck.
Okay, color me clueless. Why do we think other people will be jumping up-and-down over the opportunity to use stuff that we personally find a total bore?
By providing multiple levels at which our readers can engage, we create that noise that is seemingly so important in order to justify the worth of our spaces. What we’re finding, though, is that based on such activity, the noise level may increase, but it increases as noise, rather than the thoughtful comments that inspired our original interest, years ago.
We use this technique all the time at World Online to avoid what would otherwise be a cumbersome job of producing lots of templates over and over again, and I’m glad to finally have a good writeup to point people to.
My co-worker Eric wrote a stupendously useful middleware that translates a live in-browser session of interacting with your application into a file whose contents are suitable for unit-testing the application’s behavior.
Bookmarking one of my (biased) all-time favorite Django commits, to go in my collection of “insanely scary problems solved by tiny patches”.

I really, truly thought this was a sick joke. And then I saw tutorials linking to it as an easy way to generate keys.
In all seriousness: how did the people who think this is a good idea manage to survive into adulthood?
Rob shares some useful tips on keeping hard-coded filesystem paths out of your settings, something I do all the time. A useful companion to this is the documentation for Python’s “os.path” module.
This is potentially the coolest use of Twitter EVAR.
Postmodernism, like modernism and romanticism before it, fetishised [ie placed supreme importance on] the author, even when the author chose to indict or pretended to abolish him or herself.
