The day Netflix loses Star Trek is the day I cancel my subscription. Until then, it's unlimited Star Trek and even a sprinkling of Chinese cartoons when the mood takes me. Ah yes, that's the real benefit of freelancing 70% remotely to be honest: cereal + Voyager + code days all year.

It's nothing new. The BBC can't afford to put a foot wrong, so it panders to whomever can put it under financial pressure. Though years ago they still used to put some good programmes out. TV is worthless in an age where you can pick what you want and watch it when you want. I don't vouch for Netflix or any of the others, because the reality is you're paying for 6 shows that are worth watching and hundreds of shows you watch simply because it's there. I don't really bother watching anything now. Except Star Trek repeats.

It's built on top of Django 1.8, but code is compatible with Django 1.11 too. I don't see a reason to upgrade just yet. The project started on 1.5 or 1.6, I forgot.

I find Node.js to be much friendlier than Java based alternatives: Clojure, ClojureScript running on Node.js (this is a thing nowadays), Scala or Kotlin. Java is a menace. I will always pick the right tool for the job, Python on backend, JavaScript on frontend. I find no reason for cross compilation.

i don't know why people trust the BBC. it's just a propaganda machine for the government. granted, the other channels can't be trusted either because they'll produce or say anything for the ads/ratings. i just won't watch tv i think.

Simplenote for macOS is now an Electron app. 3 processes, 40 threads, 120 MB of RAM, 150 MB of disk space just for taking notes. The old app had 1 process, 10 threads, 60 MB of RAM and only 5 MB of disk space.

it's a joke. similarly nodeJS is the worst thing since ruby. theres literally not a single redeemable feature. and it has ruined web development. now everything has a build ritual. so hideously over complex now. and it's not even some kind of perf advantage. electron brought it to the desktop. good bye speedy desktop applications...
