RE: Eve requiring Mongo, according to slide s 57-61 at https://speakerdeck.com/nicola/eve-rest-api-for-humans Eve supports pluggable backends - is Mongo really needed?
Admittedly, I only took a cursory look at Splinter, but in my opinion Robot Framework[1][2] is much closer to plain English. This can be good if you know what you're doing and can come up with consistent naming and…
Funny thing is, as soon as I saw OP's solution I fired up IPython to do the same thing in Python. :) Admittedly mine was not as elegant as I haven't thought of using izip with 3 iterables. Still, I don't think that…
It is not so much the specifics of the BART strike described in the article that I find relevant, as it is the general attitude displayed by the “lucky elite class of tech workers”. [1] There is certain mix of…

What is next, "scissors" - a solder-it-yourself kit?
Sadly this is likely true. Just look at the effectiveness of mass protests and legislation put in place in last 2-3 years to make them illegal (UK, Canada, Poland come to mind).
I found the JavaScript Jabber podcast [1] to be a great source of information on front-end JavaScript Frameworks, as well as some discussion with framewor authors that can help figure out how they differ. Backbone:…
