alias v=vim. There, just saved you two keystrokes.

That could break some peoples’ dotfile management, e.g. symlinks or git repos. I’d say deprecation notice and reading from both, at least for a while, is better.

It is in the UK. You have to get an annual MOT check, I believe. I’ve also found it odd that that isn’t required where I am either, though.

100% agree that it’s horrible wording, but the linguistics nerd inside my brain just has to say: that’s not the passive voice.

Passive voice would be something like “a store was smashed into” or “a car was driven into the store”, where the grammatical subject is the semantic object. It can be used to avoid saying the subject of the sentence, who’s doing the action, but in this case they keep the active voice and just change the subject from a “driver” to a “car”.

On another note, it’s also telling that the article first comments on financial damage, then that the driver is unhurt and the car is damaged, and only after that does it say that the store-owner and the two customers were unharmed.

Eh, if you vote Republican, complain about things getting worse, then vote Democrat, that’s changing your mind. If I saw someone with that sticker, I’d assume they regret the decision and won’t be getting another one. Being able to change your opinion with new information really shouldn’t be discouraged.

Is one of the other framework’s you’ve used Django, and if so, how do they compare? I’ve never used Rails, but as far as I know, it’s a similar concept, with batteries included and MVC architecture.

If there isn’t anything else that makes it better, I would personally recommend something like Django just because it’s Python, which isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you are having issues with Python, the answer is pobably a google away, and if you want to do something other than webdev, it’s more likely to be in Python (AI/ML, data science, etc. mainly), including if you want to integrate something into a website. As far as I’m aware, Ruby’s pretty much only been used with Rails, and both are waning in popularity - as you say, you yourself have moved away.

That being said, I don’t know Rails so that’s all conjecture. If you tell me it’s got something Django doesn’t that makes it easier to use, I’ll take that back.
