    And your statement is proof that the DNC is dead.

    The DNC is alive and well and looking forward to 2018, which might be a huge problem for the RNC if the Republicans do/don't repeal ObamaCare.

    The arrogant billionaires appointed Empress Hilary [...]

    Hillary was elected, not appointed.

    [...] and never noticed that the blue collar democrats realized she had no values in common with them.

    Have you seen the Trump budget proposal? Blue-collar Democrats AND Republicans are going to get rimmed to pay for right-wing priorities that have no basis in reality.

  8. Well, he is the president of the US, so he's kinda sorta important.

    Being POTUS haven't stopped Trump from being Trump by sabotaging his own agenda with baseless accusations to sooth his insecure ego.

  9. Just stop with "I am really, really was a conservative that voted Clinton".

    That's what I did after being a Republican for 20 years.

    No one believes you were a conservative ever.

    Both Obama and Hillary are right of center if you examined their policies closely (i.e., co-opting the Republican like Bill Clinton did with welfare). It's one of the reasons why Bernie Sanders came out of the woodwork, why the progressives wanted someone more liberal than Hillary, and why the Russians interfered with the elections to get Trump elected.

    No, you dumb twat, the fabric3 under discussion is a python [python.org] module [github.com], as the 'pip3 install fabric3' command would have suggested to you, if you weren't a half-wit with no knowledge of python, and no legitimate reason to be near the business end of a computer.

    I find your lack of sense of humor disturbing. Turn in your geek creds. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

    You've INVENTED a need for a new tool by specifying requirements that aren't requirements.

    I didn't invent anything. I write Python 3 code. My codebase is Python 3. I haven't done anything Python 2 coding in over two years. Since this is MY LAPTOP and MY WEBSITES, it's MY REQUIREMENTS that have to be satisfied.

    Writing a bunch of one-off support scripts that are required to achieve your goal is taking focus away from the goal, and making your environment more complex, harder to debug, and harder to maintain.

    I wrote the Ant build.xml in 30 minutes. It took five minutes to modify the build.properties files for a half-dozen different websites. If I type ant, my website is generated. If I type ant all, my website is generated, archived and published. Ant works in Powershell and Cygwin without having to write a separate script to accommodate different path configurations ("C:\websites\" vs. "/cygwin/c/websites").

    Again - "Not Invented Here syndrome". It's a thing. Look it up.

    I'm not a purist. I'll use whatever tool that will get the job done.

    Irrelevant self-aggrandizement. You must be a narcissist. This explains so much.

    According to Mayo Clinic: "Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism."

    As a moderate conservative, I was happy with Obama and would've been happy with Hillary. None of the 16 Republican candidates in 2016 made me happy, which was why I switched my political registration to Democratic in late 2015. Now we're stuck with sore loser Donald Trump, who is neither a conservative nor Republican, and, until a few short years ago, was a Clinton Democrat. Sad!

    If you happen to have a life outside code, you apparently don't count as a "real" programmer any more.

    I know a couple of guys who graduated as computer engineers from the university, got good jobs and never bother to stay current with technology on their own time. About seven years later, they both got laid off during the dot com bust, took a six month vacation while drawing unemployment benefits, and discovered that their job skills were obsolete. They could have bought a book, went back to school or enrolled in a boot camp. They didn't. AFAIK, they're still working as drug store clerks.

    As an intern, I discovered a crash bug on the test server. My software engineer boss couldn't reproduced it even though we sat side-by-side and I reproduced the bug 100%. Since he couldn't reproduced the bug, he authorized the patch for the production server. A day later the production server got caught in a crash loop. Engineers determined that a deep fix was needed, took the production server offline for three days and the company lost $250K in revenues. My six-month internship ended without a job offer. One-third of the department got laid off a month later to make up for the lost revenues, starting an inevitable death spiral. My boss got promoted.

    If you have the ability to blast the JDK and ANT out onto your servers, you have the ability to install a supported python 2 version.

    The only thing I blast to my servers are static web files. I have Python 3, Java and Ant installed on my laptop.

    No, that's wrapping a utility in your own custom scripting, which means that you have to support it yourself, and you're saddled with the constant ongoing maintenance and upgrade cycle.

    Classrooms or classes? I don't expect many administrators are eager to take a bulldozer to reduce classrooms. Classes are dependent on enrollments and each class requires a minimum of 20 students to qualify for state funding in California. When healthcare became the new money major after the dot com bust, I couldn't take some programming courses because I was the only one who showed up. The last three classes I needed for graduation were taken as independent studies classes (i.e., self-taught at home).
