		<description><![CDATA[I was trying to implement something really simple in Python. I wrote a simple script&#8230; and there were some errors. Well, after a small research I found that simple len() function doesn&#8217;t count unicode characters but count bytes in unicode string. What a crap.

Example:
&#62;&#62;&#62; string = 'lksfwioerx'

		<description><![CDATA[Why Use ORMs?
ORM aka Object Relational Mapping is a quite crappy way of converting relational database model into some object model. Usually this simply means that there is created an object in the software for each table that exists in the database.
Usually many people says that ORMs are the best human idea since the sliced [...]
