Sorry, but the djangojs.po file is mixed charset: part is utf-8, part is iso-8859-1. It must be either one, but not both (the header talks about uf-8). Please upload a fixed djangojs.po. django.po was already marked in the header as iso-8859-1, so I assume it's fully iso-8859-1 - unless you added some utf-8 chars to it (the compiler can only detect wrong utf-8 chars in files marked as utf-8, not the other way around).
Please bump the ticket when you have checked the files and corrected djangojs.po.
Changed 11 years ago by GomoX <gomo@…>
Fixed the encoding header.
comment:2 Changed 11 years ago by GomoX <gomo@…>
That should be it. I used iso-8859-1 in order to match the other, larger file.

comment:4 Changed 11 years ago by Jorge Gajon <gajon@…>
This is not important but, I guess it would be better if all files (of all other languages too) used utf-8. That is, that all translations uses unicode instead of having different encodings each. I don't know, but I think that maybe having all kinds of encodings might cause problems in the future.
comment:5 Changed 11 years ago by anonymous
nope, it's just not needed to do - and actually editing utf-8 files in a non-utf-8 environment (which is the case with many people in western europe) is a pain, so why force it on them? gettext explicitely handles different encodings in the message files (it translates them internally to unicode strings anyway) so there won't be any future problems.

To check your gauge either start the project or work up a swatch, use measuring tape to determine how many stitches and rows you have per inch. Adjust accordingly (change hook size) until your stitches match up to mine. I tend to crochet loose so you will most likely need to go up a hook size with my patterns.

I was programming in C++ for a living when I fell in love with Java.
It was an unintended affair. At the time, I was following a trend with the limited language of C++, which didn't even have operator overloading or templates, but boasted simplicity and the ability to write the code once and run it anywhere (otherwise known as WORA).
But Java came along and changed everything. In fact, despite what most people say about Java in the mobile age, I still find it relevant, useful and an important coding tool going forward.
Java's WORA was much maligned during its early years, but people tend to forget how difficult things were before Java came along. Java was designed as a language of minimalism: There are less ways to accomplish a certain task, but that also makes it easy to go back in and make changes or corrections. With free and open tools, it made tackling the issues of platform defragmentation easier than ever.
Today, we are again experiencing defragmentation - but this time in the mobile space, with every device family moving further and further away from commonality and toward its own family of code. Java, as the most capable language used to support multiple platforms, is the closest thing to universal that developers can rely on.
Historically, tools for cross-platform mobile development in Java were in the $30,000 price range and delivered poor results. This is no longer the case. Tools from several vendors bring Java 5 functionality and native UIs without compromising on quality and ease of use. Companies and organizations such as Oracle, Codename One and XMLVM are bringing out stacks for Java developers to target some of the mobile platforms where Java hasn't been represented, and some of these solutions offer compelling UI options.
The leaders of the current crop of Java-based tools work by translating the Java bytecode to native C/Objective-C code and thus deliver fast native performance on iOS without an interpreter overhead (thus circumventing the JIT restriction on iOS). Some of the tools provide cloud build environments similar to the one provided by PhoneGap, removing the need to own a Mac to build a native iOS application. This allows casual developers who would like to get their feet wet programming to iOS/Android to get on board and leverage their existing Java skills to create native applications.
There are, of course, drawbacks to Java. Unfortunately, there is still no true alternative to it - HTML 5, which is the closest competitor, provides a vastly different programming experience and requires quite different skill sets. Android serves as a heaven of sort to Java developers in which they can easily develop using their favorite language; however, because the Android API is very specific to Android, the WORA aspect for Android only applies to other Android devices. RIM has its own flavor of Java and is working on supporting Android API in future OSs, but iOS/Windows phones don't have a proper alternative to Java developers.
There are several concurrent open source attempts to rectify this situation and restore the WORA aspect for mobile Java. Most of these attempts face an uphill battle since the platforms involved differ to such a great extent it's very hard to create a common ground that doesn't fall into the lowest common denominator approach.
For those who use these tools, make sure to check out their support forums, try out the options, evaluate their results and look through the application galleries. When building a mobile application the most important feature is the support forum - when things don't work, you need help, and in mobile development things can get pretty complicated along the way.
Developers who want simplicity and WORA capabilities in the mobile age may not have a lot of options. But Java, for all its faults, still provides what most developers need to get ahead in the world of coding. As cross-functionality becomes a greater priority for the coders, this baseline language will become the standard bearer yet again.

I fail to see any value in the current set of tools for Java development targeting the main mobile operating systems, because they are still too immature for production code.
Oracle should make ahead of time compilation a standard choice in Java tooling and not something that always force us to look elsewhere.
On the consulting projects I take part on, C++ and C# have taken the portability role for native applications, with HTML5 for the mobile ones.
The train has left the station for mobile Java and if Google decides to offer first class support for their own languages on Android (Dart and Go), then it is really gone.

#15616 closed Cleanup/optimization (needsinfo)
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError is poorly implemented and documented

|validation validationerror
|Triage Stage:

|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:

|Easy pickings:
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError has a horrific interface. It's publicly accessible attributes differ depending upon how the object is created, as do the pre/post conditions for it's publicly accessible methods.
If constructed with a dictionary of error messages, then it gets an attribute 'message_dict'.
If constructed with a string, or a list of strings, then it gets an attribute 'messages'.
The documentation on Model.clean() talks about ValidationError, but does not mention this at all, and instructs the user to look at messages_dict. [1]
If constructed with a dictionary of error messages, then the method update_error_dict(self, error_dict) will happily accept error_dict=None - it checks for and handles this condition. If constructed with a string or list, then not supplying error_dict is an error.
This sort of inconsistent behaviour is hard to explain. At the least, this behaviour should be documented clearly, but ideally the interface should be consistent, regardless of how it is constructed.

A second man who died was named last night as Matthew Wood (39) from Sutton, south London, who is believed to have been walking to work.
Twelve other people were injured and police said it was a "miracle" more were not hurt.
The crash happened at 8am yesterday near Vauxhall Station when an AgustaWestland 109 Power helicopter hit a high-rise crane at The Tower, one of Europe's largest skyscrapers.
Mr Moule (31), a dad-of-two from Essex, was supposed to be at work at 7am with his colleague Mr Biagioni (30).
"It was the first time I've been late since starting this job three years ago. I just woke up late. Call it divine intervention if you like," Mr Moule said.
Mr Biagioni, also from Essex, was late because his four-year-old son, who usually wakes him up, slept in. His wife Leanna said he phoned her to say he should be dead. She said: "It's too horrible to think about."

No one in my household had made such calls, nor had they agreed to visit a pay-per-view website.
However, upon questioning my son, he admitted he had been on websites that he wasn't suppose to have. My son who has a form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome, is very bright in some ways, but very immature. He insisted however, that he never visited a pay-per-view website, never agreed to any charges.
I believe my child may have been lured into an evil scam by a pornographic pop-up because about the time of these charges, I had problems with my computer.
When I got on the internet, a small pop-up box would appear. On the left side of it was a pornographic picture. I closed the pop-up, and since my computer acted like it was bogged down, I ran the virus scan program.
It detected 30 unwanted programs, some of which it couldn't even remove! I believe these programs were used as dial-ups, making these calls while we where totally unaware.
So, not only have I been ripped-off, but my child has be victimized, too. I now view the internet as not only unsafe, but DANGEROUS! I don't even like to go online anymore. I'm ready to SMASH my computer!

I responded to a 14 day free trial for the Acai Berry Product however I was unable to cancel. My credit card company contacted me to see if the charge of $79+ was valid and when I told them it was not they gave a phone number 817-825-1528 I was given by my credit card company's fraud department for the merchant trying to make the charge was disconnected and not in service. On checking, the number was listed as a NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS INC number in Arlington, TX. by (((link redacted))) which offered to give me detailed information for a fee which I declined to pay. This obviously is a scam and ripoff!

"The information you entered does not match any customers on record.
Please try again, possibly using different fields, or email firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance."
In other words, they are just blowing you off in a different manner. You will not get a response from email. If you call, you will be put on eternal hold. That's ok. The cheated consumers will file enough complaints with the FTC and you will be shut down (and hopefully prosecuted because you and your "company" are dishonest scum who aren't intelligent enough to make a living in an honest way).
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 04, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, May 04, 2010
I'm not sure why you were unable to cancel your trial offer for the Acai Optimum weight loss plan. Three methods for contacting customer support (phone, email and online interface) which will allow you to cancel, are easily found on the website home page, order form page and in your trial offer confirmation email.
However, the phone number that you listed above for support is incorrect (one number is off) which would explain why you got that Nextel company, which has no affiliation with Acai Optimum. The correct number to reach Acai Optimum Support is 1-877-825-1528
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

It seems that since that time, a year ago, we receive a certified letter stating we are delinquent on our payment. This bill is paid early and currently is done by on line bill pay no later than 5 days before the payment is due. Each time I call to confirm receipt of payment, it indeed has been received....10 days later!!!!
I verify with my bank the date and time the bill was paid and it is as I requested. I ask HomeEq for a copy of the receipt because I am sure they date stamp everything and they refuse.
I find it hard to believe that it takes 10 days to post a payment to an account all the while they are mailing letters of delinquency and adding late fees to account holders. I find this practice totally deplorable.

Elky is right. Some of you think the league is won in October because we`re top. Lets see come May. But squad wise its looking better so maybe we are in with a shout. If LFC can win the CL, then we certainly have a shout.

text: I would like to transfer from creating my website in serif webplus to doing it with wordpress. My website is hosted through namesco and I have my own domain name. It's going to take a while to re-do the website as I don't think I can transfer it in any way. I don't want to be without a functioning website in the meantime. I am a little confused about how to start creating my website in wordpress whilst still having my website up and running via webplus. I have downloaded the files to my PC but do I have to log in to namesco and create directories to start the process off? And if I do that will I still be able to keep running and updating the website via webplus in the meantime? The main thing I don't understand is how and where you create the wordpress site. Do you do it online or offline? I have already created a blog on wordpress.com which seemed easy enough but understand that you can't use that to create a full blown website with your own domain name and hosting etc. Thanks.

Gee, maybe the Twins can engineer a trade with the Diamondbacks to get some of those "snarly" types who are doing so well this year...3. frannyzoo Posted: August 10, 2014 at 09:13 PM (#4768284)
This article is typical sportswriter crap. The Twins don't need more "in your face" guys. They need to quit drafting and developing pitchers who nibble at 90 MPH or less, quit wasting precious resources putting gas cans like Kevin Correia as rotation pieces, quit playing guys who can't hit, and get Buxton and Sano up from the minors the nanosecond they are close to MLB ready. Don't give me Torii Hunter as an example of a guy you want because of his "snarl"- you want a guy like Torii Hunter because he was a pretty damn good MLB player while in Minnesota...
Too bad there are only so many Lackeys and A.J.s to go around. Ty Cobb would be worth eleventy billion dollars a year in this new "snarl market."4. TJ Posted: August 10, 2014 at 09:36 PM (#4768290)
I'm in a foul mood because my beloved Detroit Tigers bullpen blew another one today, so I'll take it out on Tom Powers.5. morineko Posted: August 10, 2014 at 10:04 PM (#4768293)
This is the same dolt who wrote in his 2014 HOF article that "I've never had any use for OPS, never mind OPS+. Or WAR or RAR or any of the other fairly recent measures concocted in the basements of, as Ron Gardenhire calls them, sabermagicians. To me, on base percentage remains the key metric." Well, through today, those "too nice" Twins ranked 7th in the AL (above league average) in On Base Percentage as a team, but ranked 11th in that new-fangled OPS (10th in OPS+, and 9th in runs scored (all below league average). Why? Because they have the third worse slugging percentage in the AL. Hate to break this to Tom, but you can't snarl your way into extra base hits. Maybe if Powers and Gardenhire got out of their own basements and paid more attention to OPS, OPS+, WAR, etc, the Twins might be scoring a few more runs, allowing a few less, and winning a few more games...
Powers also said that "It's still stunning to me that Tommy John and Jim Kaat never got elected. How could the other voters leave them out? They always were at or near the top of my ballot", and that wins and losses are the key pitching metric, as in "Jack Morris won more ballgames than Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson and Whitey Ford. Yet look at the problems he's had getting into the Hall. When did style points come into play?" Anyone who thinks Bob Gibson and Whitey Ford got into the Hall and Tommy John, Jim Kaat, and Jack Morris did not because of "style points" is surely unqualified to be paid to write anything about baseball...
There- now I feel better, or at least as good as a Tiger fan can feel with a bullpen staffed with the bunch of misfits and relics we have this season...
#2: The article is so, so full of crap; the A's are a bunch of smiley nice guys with "good chemistry" (and who play in a dump and don't make any money) and they're the best team in MLB, and they just finished winning 3 out of 4 games from the Twins. Did Powers watch that series?6. Infinite Yost (Voxter) Posted: August 10, 2014 at 10:36 PM (#4768302)
"Infielders should consider dropping a knee in front of the bag when guys are running wild."--yeah, they already tried that, ask Tsuyoshi "Yearly Fielding Accident" Nishioka....
Admittedly I think the major reason the Twins signed Correia was that he was one of the few uninjured free agents after the 2012 season who was willing to take their money, and he was the one who was willing to take the least money. The other major acquisition they made via free agency that winter was Mike Pelfrey and he was (and is) damaged goods. It was a very bad free agent market at the lower end of the spectrum (in hindsight, they could have had Scott Kazmir, but they picked up Rich Harden instead. Or they could have had Daisuke Matsuzaka, who has been cheaper and entirely more useful than Pelfrey over the past two seasons.)
The Twins have changed up a bit of their draft and development process--Trevor May and Alex Meyer, despite being acquired by trade, aren't the usual run of Twins pitchers and their newer picks like Kohl Stewart aren't the Twins type of control over strikeouts either. But what they do with the minor league system doesn't seem to translate much to anything once they get called up. I don't want to point fingers at the pitching coach and organizational philosophy, but I've got this finger handy and they seem to be easily pointed at things.
Powers is a long-running joke. The fact that he's still employed by a daily paper in a major city is just a further indictment of sports "journalism".7. Chris Fluit Posted: August 11, 2014 at 07:59 AM (#4768353)
In short, there's nothing to see here.
Did Powers watch that series?
Almost certainly not.
#2. Did the article actually cite Torii Hunter for his snarl? Because Hunter is exactly the type of player that the article tears to pieces. Hunter plays the game with a smile. He jokes around with opponents during games. He's a nice guy. And, oh yeah, he's a pretty good player despite his lack of snarl.8. Harveys Wallbangers Posted: August 11, 2014 at 08:39 AM (#4768367)
torii hunter has had WAY more of a career than anyone could have predicted. the fella will finsih at some point with over 50 war. that is really something.9. Hans Van Slooten Posted: August 11, 2014 at 09:18 AM (#4768379)
The best thing to do when you are down in a game is to risk putting another guy on base with a HBP. It's shows you're "gritty," and that you don't understand basic cause and effect.10. Greg K Posted: August 11, 2014 at 09:49 AM (#4768401)
There- now I feel better, or at least as good as a Tiger fan can feel with a bullpen staffed with the bunch of misfits and relics we have this season...
To be fair, the Tigers bullpen let in 2 runs in 12 innings, that's not too bad (or 1 in 10 innings if you don't count Porcello as a bullpen arm).
That was quite an interesting game, I was at the pub having a pint with a friend with the game on in the background. We decided if it went to extra innings we could have one more drink. Three hours later...

Yup- problem is the game never should have went 19 innings, as the Tigers led 5-2 going into the 7th. Price put two on, and the relievers being paid major league money to hold a three-run lead couldn't do it, which led to a 19-inning game in which Detroit had to rely on two rookies to go multiple innings, Joe Nathan for one (after throwing about 60 pitches the previous two nights) and bringing in a starter when the bullpen ran out of arms. They have one reliever with an ERA under 3.00, and he's a rookie lefthander who is rarely used in high leverage situations. Their only reliever with a WHIP under 1.20 also balked in the winning run once this year. Oh, and their closer has an ERA of 5.23 and an ERA+ of 80. Their save percentage is league-average, and their relievers Wins Above Average is 4th worse in the AL (leading only the White Sox, Rangers, and Astros). So I think referring to their pen as a collection of relics and misfits is entirely fair...

"And I remember Torii Hunter and others perched on the top step of the dugout, bellowing at the opposing pitcher about perceived brush-back pitches." So no, the word "snarl" wasn't explicitly used, but I think the example Powers used with Hunter falls within his "snarl" universe, at least in his eyes...
Twins need fewer smiles, more snarls
More good players would help, too.
(Nah, I'm pretty optimistic for next year. Our front office gives me hope--they turned 6 weeks of Kendrys Morales and AAAA star Sam Fuld into two guys who will almost certainly be on their big league pitching staff for them next year <Tommy Milone and Stephen Pryor>.)
Maybe they can hire Kirk Gibson after ARI fires him.15. Moeball Posted: August 11, 2014 at 03:38 PM (#4768737)
Ty Cobb would be worth eleventy billion dollars a year in this new "snarl market."
And would turn it into multiples of that with which to expand his evil empire!
"I've never had any use for OPS, never mind OPS+. Or WAR or RAR or any of the other fairly recent measures concocted in the basements of, as Ron Gardenhire calls them, sabermagicians. To me, on base percentage remains the key metric."
So On-Base % is no longer a basement stat? When did that happen? Why, just 30 years ago people were complaining about Bill James' and Pete Palmer's constant references to OBA as though they were basement dwellers. My, how times have changed. Well, except in Philadelphia, of course, where RAJ is still apparently befuddled by the concept.
Maybe they can hire Kirk Gibson after ARI fires him.
Yeah, but I don't think Kirk can get around on the fastball anymore. Besides, I thought he wrote the article!
The Twins are loaded with this type of player: Nice guys who take losing in stride. Sweethearts with "big smiles on their faces" who appear to be just happy to be here.17. PASTE Transcends Almost All Generations (Zeth) Posted: August 11, 2014 at 06:20 PM (#4768902)
And their children are all slightly above average.
It's Minnesota Jake.
The thing is, snarls are cheap and easily developed and talent is expensive and hard to develop.18. DL from MN Posted: August 11, 2014 at 06:20 PM (#4768903)

Does he realize that there are only two ingredients in OPS, and that OBP is one of them?
#18: I laughed out loud.21. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: August 12, 2014 at 02:05 AM (#4769160)
Perhaps this is a revolt against Minnesota nice? I dunno, I think the Twins old affinity for pitch to contact types versus strikeout pitchers. I guess they weren't the new market inefficiency.
GRRRR, go get 'em Twinkies!

I'm not even sure what to make of this. It's like a "well thank you very much sir for the very lengthy hit baseball"
