This is good nuance to add to the conversation, thanks. I think in most cases you have to trust some group of parties. As an individual you likely don't have enough time and expertise to fully validate everything that…
A reference (that lays out the statistical arguments) is "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by John Bogle.
What would you rather have for the next 5 years? Why?

It seems like long builds are either (a) necessary or (b) user error. (a) If you have a tree of dependencies and you change the root, you should rebuild everything that depends on it to make sure it's still compatible.…
I think contemporary best practices start with the production environment and work backwards towards creating a development environment as close to the production environment as possible. These days, most productions…
That does sound convenient. I wonder if the virtualenv aspect is relevant though, i.e. do people really deploy npm apps outside of a container/isolation layer? I imagine if you're deploying docker, you probably should…

As a python programmer I would have no idea what `valid_P` is supposed to mean. Valid Pascals?

Took me about 3 weeks to get to proficient and a month or two to be fluent. Mainly playing on a dvorak typing tutor website while watching TV.
There were a bunch of (online) games without a well-defined end popular in the late 90s/early 00s too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft:_Brood_War…
Have you been tipping on your AWS bill? Or the package delivery workers? (What does Amazon have to do with this?)

Did you vet your question and its phrasing with your co-workers? What did they say?
For what purpose?
Interesting topic. :) This is mainly relevant if your data is used for training. It seems like you'd want to use a log-based system like kafka to manage versioning and state in this case. I imagine you could: 1. Store…
