Pure speculation here, but I imagine that Apple is probably working on a unified OS between IOS and MacOS. The pieces are there between Catalyst and now the new ARM macs. MacOS is pretty outdated from a UX perspective,…
>Besides this, it's actually a stupid move in a political, pragmatic sense. Like you're saying, it alienates precisely those you need to bring to your side ("it's pc gone mad!") Alienates at best, emboldening the…
Judging by the article, this project likely started before Blazor was released, however, I have to agree that .NET should have been the obvious choice. Maybe the author wasn't able to decide this, but I wouldn't…
I mean, PRISM was a post 9/11 thing and yeah, Snowden's leaks directly noted Facebook, YouTube, etc. There is really no telling what exactly is out there, but we know the NSA has massive Data Centers and a massive…
Although I am concerned about the 1A and big tech being the arbiters of it, it seems like such a system has yet to go to production (probably never will). I understand that there are technical, financial, and legal…
To be fair, the actual 'far left' is Pro-gun. You're confusing leftism with Neoliberalism (you're not alone in this thread). The anti-gun people in this category are firmly rooted in the Auth-Right quadrant of the…
I should have included the South in my assessment, when you have states like Texas and Florida with 2nd and 3rd most (tie) amount of electoral votes, not forgetting 'swing' states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan…
Yeah, chiming in from the Mid-West, the Trump base is out in full force. Lots of Trump signs in yards (with varying degrees of offensive slogans), seeing Trump flags flying from the back of pickup truck beds and yards…
I 100% second this sentiment. Granted, I live in the Mid-West, my workplace is not a startup, I'm skewed towards introvert, have ADHD, and my work is not necessarily collaborative. Being in the Mid-West means…
Mention Python in a HN thread, and prepare for people to start moaning. IDK, maybe it's the SV filter bubble dealing with some mono-repo from google with a bajillion lines of legacy Python to support. Yeah, I can't…
Literally just discovered Zeit, what I liked about it was the ability to choose different run-times, with a generous free tier, with none of the existential baggage of the other PAAS's options out there. Sigh, oh well.
Not trying to be snarky, just something worth considering... Owning physical media is not as popular as it once was due to the multitude of streaming options available. Subsequently, the cost of physical media has gone…
Even my engineer colleagues still operate under the impression that Tesla Autopilot == Self-Driving. One of the dangerous things, to me, is a combination of PR and user experience. The PR/advertisement creates the…
Agreed, but again, I ETL my data into a warehouse, as a developer (not a BI person), I'm reaching for spark, flink, or whatever to roll my analytics, and python/flask/d3 for building web dashboards. Then, once you have…
How about working with poorly designed schemas? I work with SQL-Server as well, dealing with legacy data designed around imperative t-sql programming. Our 'BI-Solution', SSRS, crawls on pretty simple queries, where…
Interestingly enough, one of the reasons I'm learning Python is because I don't know Perl, which is used at my workplace. My experience is that Python works well as a 'glue' language for doing systems things. EDIT: I…
People are being mislead. It appears that DoorDash has preemptively scrubbed anything from their website stating that drivers can make n dollars per hour, but at one point, I remember seeing the claim, somewhere between…
Depends on the 'intern' culture they have here. They are basically paying people 40k per year. Combine that with an actual program for entry-level hires (like a bootcamp), and I can see the value. I'm not sure what Dev…
meh. I’m not trying to sound cultish, but if you’re not at least familiar with some of the packages I mentioned... Python is different than TCL. Python isn’t growing in popularity for nothing. At the end of the day, I…
I should note, I'm not particularly concerned with performance. We already have fairly optimized DB code, views, sprocs, indexes etc. This layer is currently sufficient for our needs. So ideally, we would still continue…
Anybody with experience able to chime in on a question? So, at a high-level, I am looking at using Python at my workplace. We are a weird amalgamation of a Java and Microsoft shop, using Java and Kotlin for 'critical'…
Sometimes, the people getting the most done, are either doing so based on proficiency (i.e. deep understanding of domain, system, language, stack etc) or are simply adept at finding the shortest path from…
That failure is ok. As a software developer, you are going to receive all the smoke. Whether failure means missing some arbitrary deadline, delivering something that doesn't meet requirements, has bugs, is not…
Apparently my comment upset some people, I want to reiterate I was not insinuating anything about the President's current cognitive state, just stating it's something to look at. Both Sanders and Biden are tiptoeing on…
in reference to the 'Crazy President' Problem: >that isn’t how mental illness works (it tends not to flare up in a totally unexpected way among otherwise “sane” people) This might not be how Mental Illness works, but it…
