Also, they might have a few interesting blog articles worth looking at. I found at least one, that I’ve noted above.

Wow, very interesting introduction to modern web development for someone from 10 years ago in 2007, to 2017. This is what I was looking for… sort of, but couldn’t find from a web search.
Okay, point in hand here. The article still doesn’t cover enough of the history of web development from a broad picture.

Oh, good point here! Redefinition of the word “API.” Of course, it didn’t happen until later, when the developer community grew in tandem.

No mention of (web) APIs? (And, yes, REST was defined in 2000 and SOAP APIs were around in 2007, but API meant something different then than it does now.)

So, you’re still wondering about the future of CGI/FastCGI? What happened? How does that relate to Python Django and Ruby on Rails?
So, let’s put the verdict here. There was never really a “clear” decision in the community to migrate. Rather, it happened kind of… “chaotically”. Some might say “organic,” but yeah, trying to use the right words that accurately describe this. No actual central coordination in this decision. What happened was that web developers starting making increasingly more complex dynamic server-side pages, so they needed to move to systems that were designed to leverage more dynamic server-side patterns: create a page by programmatically altering a template, generate a page in its entirety, create HTTP endpoints that are merely meant to perform server-side database actions and return “data” files in JSON, things like that. And then that’s how we got to the more modern frameworks. These needed to build higher-level constructs than CGI, FastCGI, and SCGI, so WSGI and Rack were built, albeit specific to their particular programming languages.
Pentax K-1 camera notes.
I’m wondering. It it possible to weather seal an old manual zoom lens? It would be really nice to use that on my DSLR camera, but I’m concerned about it sucking dust into the camera and getting on the sensor.
Failed search.
Interesting points here. Bottom line: Don’t worry about dust inside your lens, it makes no difference to your photographic quality. A bug, spider, or screw in your lens, that could be something of worry. However, even then, that may not make any difference to your photographic quality. Point in hand, impurities within lenses do not have the detrimental effect on photographic quality like they do on the DSLR sensor filter, so relax and feel free to use your old lenses! Well… as long as they do not suck dust in that gets on your sensor filter.

It’s very interesting how debunk these Lens Rental people put “internet wisdom” to the test here. Some of it is true, other of it is… well, not quite as specific as it could be.

Firefox Quantum you’re hearing about? What is that? It is a rewrite of Firefox that is touted to be faster and more resource efficient.

Okay, they say that… but I doubt the resource consumption is down to what we’ve observed in the earlier versions. Modern Firefox probably still uses a lot of resources.

But, the best point in hand. Want to do accurate testing on mobile devices from desktops and laptops? Make sure you use the same browser that will be running on the mobile device, and then put that into mobile device emulation mode.
Also, don’t forget. The terminology that pundits are coining today for CSS that works on smartphones (as well as tablets, desktops, and laptops)? Responsive design.

Can you recycle toothpaste tubes? Yes, but toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes require special recycling separate from your typical aggregate recycling bin. Likely you will do a mail-in recycle to TerraCycle.
Toothpaste tubes can be Aluminum Barrier Laminate (ABL) Tubes, which are multilayer composite materials and thus more difficult to recycle.

Where Python goes from here will be up to Python’s core developers. Van Rossum asked: “So what are you all going to do? Create a democracy? Anarchy? A dictatorship? A federation?” Van Rossum continued, “I’m not worried about the day to day decisions in the issue tracker or on GitHub. Very rarely I get asked for an opinion, and usually it’s not actually important. So this can just be dealt with as it has always been.”
I don’t think “anarchy” will emerge, but the future will be quite ordered, following the line of Perl that we’ve previously seen.

Random notes.

McDonalds? When was it founded? Oh, actually it is a pretty old company, starting around the 1955 is when Ray Kroc came onboard, but it was around as early as 1940. Worthy of note, Ray Kroc was a very aggressive business partner. Could that still be observed in McDonald’s upper management as of today? It seems like it, at least from the anecdotal evidence that I’ve heard of so far.
Also, as a food company, McDonald’s was involved in related food production controversies.
