Playing with #Sqlite and #Python today.
And then I got curious about dumping my objects ala pickle into a database. and then it hit me.
Dump an object into a relational database. rather map them from one form to another.
That is what #Django’s ORM (is) does. (as do other Python ORMs)

@dianeduane Boggle wants to give you a loving pick me up! 2/2
Text of the image continues:
How is that helpless? I think that’s incredible. You’re like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines, your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished, and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders.
And you’re still just going, ***“Give me a stick. i’m not dying out here.”***
“A cry for help” makes it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you. But you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.
With **no** hope, running on **nothing,** you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety.
All I’m doing is handing out sticks.
You’re the one staying alive.

Text of the image:
I don’t like the phrase “A cry for help.”
I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide, I have a plan; I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing i see is helplessness.
I think: Your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope.
But still, here you are; you’ve come over to me, banged on my door, and said,“***Hey!*** staying alive is **really hard** right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!”

This long, long, thread by @alecui warms my heart.
Even though I am new to writing code, my impression of languages (and editors and ides) has always been that they’ve been built to solve issues, from certain folks’ point of view. It’s endlessly fascinating to me to see how each language tackles some common problem differently.
I don’t see better. I see different. And I love different :)
especially if they are old and warty. (how do i love thee #emacs? )
Worth the read!
