This is very interesting thank you. I always said to myself if I was writing anything telecom-y I would use Erlang but seems its days are behind us. I wonder if it's just too expensive to hire and train people in it when everyone kno

Facebook allegedly buys transaction data (you know like banks and payment processors etc. sell). So they have a browser fingerprint for you via cookies (you know that like and share button on every page on the internet) or just plain JS fi

This is the thing exactly! They built a system that allows infinite uploads but did not build a system to handle the workload of dealing with infinite uploads. Some people just want to throw their hands up: "Dealing with infinite uplo

I don't understand the confusion. Doubleclick ate Google from the inside. How can you possibly expect them to do anything else? Anything that favors your privacy, ever? They are in the business of consuming your data for profit. T

This is such an interesting problem. I do think that new music that is competing with old music has an advantage in its newness, which humans tend to prefer. But it needs to be as excellent as the music it is competing with. If you as a

Yeaaaahhhh no. People leave because of money. People are leaving for money. And they would be stupid not to. Because companies have no loyalty. You are a human resource to be used up like any other. Like gasoline. The second they can

Python's STL is such that using it is a code smell. It's better to just use the right tool for the job: you are almost guaranteed to need at least one external library/module for any project of even moderate complexity. So

I started a project with dataclasses and quickly ran into their limitations (which are by design) and migrated to attrs. It's quite a bit better. If you take 10 seconds to read attrs website they do go over the differences and maybe d

You know, maybe it's really good! I never considered this possibility because of its hostile UX. Any service that pops up a login and won't let you access any content without logging in I just nope out of and have for many years.

Some people say ODD doesn't exist and that it's just "PDA" profile of ASD. I mean technically anything can exist if it has a label in the DSM, but you know what I mean.

I use one or two drops out of a 3mg/1ml dropper. That's all it takes. I don't know why the OTC doses are so high. Maybe it's helpful for other purposes e.g. jet lag. But for sleep it's much too high a dosage. It
