I'm mid-20s and everyone I know has like 6 food delivery apps on their phone. I'm somewhat of minimalist with trying to keep a low number of apps on my phone but whenever I see my friends phones they have hundreds of…
But if they offer an equal or superior product at lower price, they would have a fundamental advantage: people/businesses would be more incentivized to switch to them when money gets tight, when previously it may not…
Each of these systems is degrees of the other as well, and that seems proper for the exact reasons you mentioned - not including desired externalities in pricing/market dynamics. There are a few things that I believe…
Oh it still is. Capitalism is not exactly equal to "free market". There's still a hell of a lot of market under socialism. I'm just pointing out that you have to regulate SOMETHING. Regulating nothing = people amassing…
It's not purely "free market" to restrict housing supply, but the freedom to influence politics to your own advantage (like NIMBY's restricting housing supply) is absolutely an effect of the free market system.
Interesting, I guess they don't get spit out to the console by default. Overall Python has really good stack traces, but the hyper-dynamic nature of so many common libraries does make it tough to grok sometimes. I…
This just gave me the thought... if exception stack traces came with the argument values of each method call, they would be 1000x more helpful. You wouldn't even have to attach a debugger and step through in many cases.
This is how it should be done, I'm such a fan of this page: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/errors.html Edit: by "this" I meant to agree with parent: Getting a useful, well defined exception is how it should be done.…
I think when people talk about this, they mean to push back against the fact that people will often to be biased to hire someone they think they could be casual friends with, share interests with, etc. I like my…
I’ve found asyncio to be a very simple model to understand, using the aio libs: aiohttp, aiopg, aiobotocore, etc. Basically just slap “async” or “await” in front of everything and understand that anytime there is a…
Oh I agree it's a radical change from what we have now (Although the resulting system is one many countries have already succeeded with). I was merely pointing out how if the program - and the tax to support it - is not…
The important issue with Warren's "plan" is that it's essentially a $8,000 per year per employee head tax, so it's a regressive tax. An afterthought in the expense of hiring a very highly-paid employee, but a…
Agreed, the one thing I have promised myself is to never have a commute over 35 minutes. I even found a 35 minute commute to an internship in the suburbs disheartening when it was mostly spent sitting in traffic. It's…
Not to mention that the internal Exxon-Mobil climate predictions matched up with current public scientific consensus forty years ago and nearly exactly predicted the level of warming we had today, as well as the need to…
I'm struggling to find a source, but I was taught in school that some large majority of the total beer consumption is by a core group of beer drinkers that average > 3/4 gallon (around eight cans of beer) per day
The people I know who have done this (called microblading) were putting on their desired eyebrows every morning with makeup. Now they save themselves 10 minutes and worrying about getting it right every morning. It's…
I never wrapped my mind around the Promises API, but I have always async/await is much easier to grasp in any language
I think it comes down to preferences. I have never enjoyed reading, podcasts, or whatever else on cramped public transit, but I do enjoy the alone time of driving and I generally enjoy driving if it's not stop-and-go.…

Yes this is exactly it. And just like the circumstances we are discussing now, Jesus found himself and his following in conflict with existing leaders who had amassed wealth and power, and who tried to delegitimize him…
Or you could just run the subways in LA more often/not full. Then the experience would be enjoyable and living near the lines would become more desirable, and the more people take the transit and then oh look spread…
I'm doing exactly this - excited about the speed and screens on the new ones, but waiting for the longer travel keyboard to come back. I can get along with my 2015 for now, but I really miss the Retina display and it is…
The very existence of insurance allows this insane inflation to occur. It completely obscures the need to to price things accurately.
What was so unorthodox/upsetting to people there?
Gentrification! Just less local
