Have you heard of browser fingerprinting?

YT may or may not use fingerprinting for Google's nefarious purposes, but YT defiantly won't serve you curated content based on it. It's enough to clean your cookies, to avoid curation.

Thanks for the link.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It's because they care about you. You're their valued user and friend. They want to help you. You are not a number, 0x01AA, you are... oh, wait...
Well, that's screwed that theory up.

So what does that make of YouTube, who is hosting said "creepy videos"?

They're taking down stuff all the time; most of it is automated. So yeah, they don't exactly turn a blind eye...

Hi all,
I am interested in getting a signature pad to be able to get my daily job accepted by signature at the end of the day when I am out of the office working for customers.
I could use a paper based system like usual, but I have a small PHP application I made to keep track of my job and it is capable to print PDFs with all the information automatically, so those pads seem the way to go.
I'm in doubt between those 2 brands and device types.
Have any of you used them?
Any important detail to be aware of before buying?

How good is python for website development? What are your thoughts?

Quote: How good is python for website development? Well, first off, Python is not something you use for website development. But if you're talking about Python hosting a website...
Python is interpreted. Therefore slow. Very slow. I would not want to do DB work in Python, even if the low-level implementation is in complied C, the business logic would be in Python, and that would be dog slow for certain things.
That said, if all you're doing is implementing something simple, for example a website hosted on an SBC, then go for it.
If you want to use Python for anything complicated, then I'd suggest using Django as the web framework. That said, when I tried using Django a few years ago, some things were a bit of a WTF experience. Maybe things have improved.
Personally, I would never use Python for hosting anything but the most simplest of websites. Like displaying a clock. Oh wait, than can be done entirely in front-end JavaScript.

Oh, then sure, go for Python. There are some decent eCommerce modules out there and some lightweight ORM stuff - theoretically, it should almost be plug & play.

Marc,
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I recently worked for a mid-sized company that decided to use Python/Django as their core framework for all of their web solutions. We had to transition from using .NET Core/Dagger/VueJS to this monstrosity. Hugely confusing and the framework design/architecture seemingly "thrown together" and SLOW. Why would anyone go this route. Did I mention SLOW? Needless to say, we didn't see eye to eye and I left to go do bigger and better things (in .NET Core and VueJS, of course ).
Thanks

Oh wow, they dropped .NET Core for Python / Django? Why in the world would they do that? Let me guess - some manager's kid wanted a job and all they knew was Python?

Interesting, most on the list are quite braindead sites - not sure related to Django, but the cuts hurt me.
MI things, like music offerings on Spotify are quite good, on the other hand. YouTube algorithm is world-renowned for offers, too.

lol, if you think insta, mozilla, washington post, disqus, youtube and the others on that page are "braindead sites", then show me the world-changing amazing tech you made that solved All The Things.
No?
Didn't think so.

Last thing first, I develop small Python tools at work, so your chance to evaluate them is unbelievably close to zero. Python itself is a C-type cancer full with case sensitivity and equal signs used to mean let it be equal. Together with limited base number types, it is intended to destroy the financial and the statistical industry.
And with it's legendary energy efficiency, now our planet, too.
But let's see my original points.
Disqus
1. It notoriously messes with webpage content copied into a reply. Even after you manually killed the double line spaces, random line endings, the posted content may be different from what you have seen in the editor. What you see is what you get...
2. Good luck to jump to the thread from their site to the website, if the site uses their hide comments and comment pagination functions. Firefox/desktop at least two buttons, Chrome/mobile much worse
Instagram
It offers the stories of those you follow. One story can be multiple pages. One of the followed persons share 10+ pages of menstruation cycle calibration. Good luck skip the rest of the story and continue with the next person's story.
YouTube
1. It offer some social media website like functionality on the start screen, the "Latest YouTube posts" section. Good luck scan through them, especially they are organized into multiple rows. Computers are good at repeating things, like "pressing" back, down arrow, scroll, click next, aren't they?
2. Good luck trace back which post is answer to which post in a heated comment section, where ~10 commenter wrote 10-20 answers per commenter...
Pinterest
They send you an email about something their algorithm thinks could belong to one of your tables. You go visit them, choose one, then press the left arrow next to the picture. Good chance they will refresh your feed with new ideas (basically the home page) instead of going back to the collection offering.

Quora
You get an email digest. Click on a link, opens in the mobile app. Of course, it is truncated to less text than in the digest, with a Read more... label bottom right ...

So... your main arguments against Python are:
- you don't like the syntax
- you don't like any example sites that I've mentioned
these all sound like "you" problems, not "python" problems

Yes, syntax is awful.
"base class library" is more awful.
Especially for cross-platform development.
Don't trust me, just check the solutions for handling a key press without hanging while a key pressed.
Or executing an external command, and waiting for the result - now with bonus timeout from the blue!
Oh, and don't forget that deleting a non-existing file is an exception! Except when 3.6+ you unlink a non-link, because it 1) deletes the file 2) there is an argument for not throwing an exception for non-existing files
Python is good for the Cool Kids to reinvent the wheel instead of solving real problems. Hence Guido is a good fit to the Outsourced New Microsoft.
