That's a rotating list of groups, "BIPOC" is one example in a list that settles on "Alphabet Workers". It should not be polarizing to emphasize that all workers, regardless of full time or contractor status, or race

Who decides who is "incompetent"? What do pronouns have to do with anything? I don't really see how this is related to the post.

Writing Java in my day job currently, I really miss C#. It feels slightly more like a "Java done right" -- the same strategy of bringing "fancier" features from F# or other languages, but it has just a _few_ more feature

I can imagine it's a super different experience to be (probably very) high at a party, and to be a little stoned while working alone on a programming task. (Compare someone who's had 1 beer, and someone at a party doing shots in t

Also ADHD here. I find smoking a little helps significantly with turning off the distractions of Slack, email, reading interesting docs that cross my path. It's much easier to sit down, crank out a coding task, or jump into a deep debu

Instead of "just wondering" with a not-so-subtle disagreement, it would be more constructive to expand on how you think this applies to fiat money.

What makes Postgres unfit for that use? It doesn't have large licensing fees like SQL Server, and Postgres (just like MySQL) can run on a single node and handle small amounts of data just fine.

That's a weird conclusion to come to. There is a ton of alt-right, extremist content on Twitter. Not just in English, mind you.

That doesn't really seem completely related to the topic at hand. Besides, if we _were_ producing more things like Impossible foods that _did_ use soy, then we wouldn't need to export it as much? I'm not proposing all product

Do you have any links to back up the claim that they're worse for the environment? I've heard that they're better, and my immediate reaction would be to believe that. It takes a lot of plant material to raise a cow, so cuttin

people aren't doing web stuff in python?? django, flask, etc. are still very popular. maybe not as much as a few years ago, but people tend to stick to tech they know well, and python's web libraries are pretty battle tested at th

what are your feelings about server side typescript? it's quite a nice language, and for many many cases is certainly fast enough these days.

Would you be willing to explain to us why you do this? This is an incredibly harsh restriction, and "we don't owe them explanations" would piss me right off. It sounds like you're really souring this relationship, and &q

Have you considered that perhaps your very strong anti-tech views are actually making their "rebellion" stronger? Whenever my parents went to block things, that turned into a "how can I unblock this? how can I get around thei

Docker is a very heavy-handed approach to mitigate more fundamental issues with Python's package management, don't you think?

I think there needs to be a distinction between fetching crates as source at _build time_ and what happens with Python. Python's "build time" will still require the source to be present on the target machine it's deploye

Is it fair to compare an interpreted language and its package manager to Rust and Cargo? Python packages ship their source (in most cases), depend on a locally installed interpreter (with semantics possibly changing by version). Yes, Python

My local Safeway (a grocery store) switched to using carts with long poles that can’t leave the store. But I don’t know of any stores that have closed?

Unfortunately those in charge at Zillow didn't feel the real pain -- that went to families trying to find homes, being outpriced by Zillow.

These fundraising platforms use Stripe Connect. It’s not a apples-to-apples comparison, because individual fundraisers are essentially their own Stripe accounts. What seems to be forbidden is fundraising under a single Stripe account for di

Przelewy24 and iDeal are supported on Stripe, too. (Among a variety of other payment methods not tied to a credit card.)

So… you want the voting machines to be networked? I really suspect you’re being intentionally difficult here, this is not such a simple problem as you suggest.

Python imports aren't necessarily always importing Python source code -- they can be pyc (bytecode) files, or C API extensions, etc. These are slightly more complicated than "load the script at this path". There's probab

Seconded. I have 30+ tabs open (though in Firefox), alongside VS Code, Obsidian (a notes app, but with web views), Spotify (web views), and I don't frequently run into serious performance issues. I do try to avoid Rosetta quite a bit t
