CSS The Definitive Guide is 1122 pages !

Ok, this is turning quite absurd, how could a CSS guide be longer than most sciences books? Even C++ books, the ancient standard for languages that make no sense at all.

  • Inside chatbots’ year of growing pains: ‘We’re at an inflection point’, I've been making jokes and expressing my disbelief in the chatbot technology and this article concludes, as I do, that it's too simplistic to work well. Once people got used to Siri the expectations for bots turned really high. Oh, then there is the fact that I've been using chatbots in IRC since 1996 and I have seen where the limits are.

Is your update-initramfs finding missing kernels in ubuntu?

Check the files in:

/var/lib/initramfs-tools

This is how update-initramfs finds out the kernels to process. Just delete the files with the same version as the missing kernels.

Django, Gmail and Error 534

Google has gone paranoid lately. Gmail accounts now have a high level of security by default.

If you are using a Gmail account for sending email in Django and you get an error like this:

SMTPAuthenticationError: (534, '5.7.14 Please log in via your web browser and\n5.7.14 then try again.\n5.7.14 Learn more at\n5.7.14 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 rt12sm14054752pab.34 - gsmtp')

You probably scratched your head, checking the user and password and finding that they are right. Google now wants every machine to register for allowing it to send email.

If your Django instance is running in a server, one way to fix this problem consists in installing lynx and loading:

https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

You will then ask to log into your Gmail account (the one configured in Django) and after that you will have to click on a button. All of this can be done in the console with lynx. Once you click on the "Unlock Captcha" button, the machine's IP will be registered into the Gmail account as authorised and you will be able again to send emails from Django.
