Quote: And 70% (or thereabouts) of all Python programs must indicate in the implementation language in the program name. (Even Visual Basic programmers don't feel a need to give their programs names starting with "vb"!) That's just petty. Quote: ARM ABI and dotNet leaves me with a much better gut feeling. They encourage me to use the language that is best suited for the task. Python does not. It more or less demands that I use Python, whether suitable or not. It takes away my freedom. That is probably on top of the list. The two other points come in second and third. Using an ABI would make sense if Python was a low-level system language. It's not, and was probably never intended to be one; the language itself is written in C (See CPython). It's meant to be an abstraction-layer language, and if C can use an ABI, it wouldn't take very much work to abstract it in Python. I like Python because it's a simple language that allows me to write up a proof of concept with very little impedance between the idea and the application in itself. If I need OOP, I can use it, but I'm not required to. Type checking is an option, and what's more free than being allowed to choose? Have I made embarrassing messes with Python? More than I'd like to admit, but every time I did, I learned that I wasn't thinking in Python, but thinking in X-Language, and *translating* it into Python. Since I don't work in Python on a daily basis, thinking in Python (TIP) doesn't come as easily for me as it would otherwise. Nonetheless, when I'm in a TIP-state of mind, the code I produce is leagues ahead of what I produced with the thinking-in-X-then-translation method.

Thanks, this looks like a great app, but I have one issue, and that's its "flat" todo list. I've just found an app that integrates with nearly all task management services/apps. E.g. I have just integrated it with Trello, which is a dedicated list manager. The app I've found has a desktop app, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app, and it's called [^]Pomodone.

That's the one... When you are going to 'Changes' enter some text then pick 'Stash all'... it should do the trick... "The only place where Success comes before Work is in the dictionary." Vidal Sassoon, 1928 - 2012

And I'm sure I'll say the same about Xaml Forms (at least) when I eventually get round to finishing his Xaml Forms book. I already know more than average about the deeper workings of WPF, because I started there with a Petzold book.

Sounds cool man. I hope it comes out awesome. Jeremy Falcon

Gawd! Then my problem pales in comparison to yours. I hardly get many errors in C#, mostly Razor.

Problem solved, but I leave this here in case it helps anyone else. I didn't see the tiny button on the formatting toolbar. This is the same as the var button in this editor.

When they browse what code? They can't download it, and I see nothing looking like a source tree anywhere close to my article.

Have a look here: Using the Article Editor (without losing your hair in handfuls)[^] - it has a section on inline code, and one on adding downloads. Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

Why, thank you, Pete. Long may you approve. "'Do what thou wilt...' is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, Water to seek its level; man is the only being in Nature that has striven to set himself at odds with himself." —Aleister Crowley

Thanks for all the info. I suppose I should test on more than just Edge and Firefox, but it's a hobby project. I don't care if anything IE8 or prior breaks, so replacing the type is good for me, but the best is the autocomplete. I never knew there was such and attribute, thanks. It has crossed my mind several times to use a template, but I want to get the rendered HTML correct first.

Yeah - that's on the list. For me I just hover over it, it disappears, then I hover over it again and it sticks. I'll try and find some beer to help me debug that one. cheers Chris Maunder

Oh dear, I thought I had looked for all means, but that's not quite obvious to this reader. Thanks.

I much prefer Angular 2 & 4 over 1. It's like fully object oriented vs. event driven but procedural. A Rubick's cude snapping into correctness vs a bag of loose Legos. IMHO.

Oh yes, that is a huge requirement on my side. Aversion to excess decoration even tempted me to use the Jekyll static pages framework for the blog. Immanentize the Eschaton!

Me too. I wanted Ubuntu MATE, but more importantly I want to be using and learning by Pi. After one or two failed attempts to get that to boot off the SD, I went write back to NOOBS, and chose to install Raspbian. Within 20 minutes of giving up on Ubuntu, I had a running Pi. Immanentize the Eschaton!

Brady Kelly wrote: I think my spec, which should be divided into front and back-end, for two teams of developers, will be quite large on the basic makeup of the app You have a description of what it will do. You do not have a description of how it will do it. Those are two different things. And a "large" system should start with one or more architecture documents so there is some framework for understanding how the pieces will fit together. That plus some more specific designs will also provide direction on how front and back end work is divided. If there are pieces that cannot be quickly white boarded or where there are arguments about the 'best' way to do it, then it needs to be designed.
