I think one good reason is connecting with the youth. My kids are too young for Tik Tok but old enough to come home with 6-7 (btw, best antidote to that is the 7-8-9 joke ;) ) and "chicken banana", and I'm told this comes fro

From the second paragraph in the article: > You might even say “Aha!” This kind of sudden realization is known as insight, and a research team recently uncovered how the brain produces it (opens a new tab), which suggests why insightful

Keep an anxiety log for a few months. In my experience, this feeling of correctness is a retrospective impression that relies heavily on confirmation bias, and in reality is nowhere near that high. Either way, a concrete log will confirm or

Thank you very much, this is exactly the starting point I needed. I'll keep following the citations trail into more recent years, but your second link from 2007 reinforces my feeling that we're still very far from understanding th

The complement of a set consists of everything that is not in the set. Having your complement commoditized is a good thing, it refers to everything your users need that is not part of your value proposition. If it's commoditized, your

The full term is "mise en place" and your analogy with the IDE is not far off, but there's an interesting nuance that's very useful to adopt when programming too. Mise en place is an ephemeral thing, you do it every time

You could simply encode the json to base64 and put it in the url fragment (hash). Then you can save by bookmarking the url and share by copy/pasting it, all without a server. I've seen some web games use this method but I can&#x27

The minimum viable product concept comes to mind. You don't have a product until you invest the effort required to pass the minimum threshold. Another example I can think of is escape velocity. I'd venture that the principle you&#

That's interesting, as a québécois I don't agree with any of this. The only thing that raised an eyebrow was "est à même de", but if turns out it's just another way of saying "capable de", I guess it'

Do you want Python? Because this is how you get Python. Joke aside, this is why I never understood this problem. With proper indentation it looks essentially like Python with a generous helping of your-father's-parentheses.

"Reduction in force", similar to a layoff. A layoff happens when the company can no longer afford an employee they'd otherwise like to keep, a RIF happens when the role no longer makes sense and is closed permanently.

This is correct, I wasn't paying attention.

But in JavaScript, these two awaits will not happen in parallel, you really need to await Promise.all() for that.

You really end up creating promises manually, the vast majority are downstream from an IO call like fetch() or a database query.

It seems the term is in fact "signifiers". From your link: > Affordances determine what actions are possible. Signifiers communicate where the action should take place. We need both.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure anyone having to do any moderate amount of scraping eventually arrives at a similar solution. Thanks! It's still a work in progress, so if you have anything you'd like to see in there, I'd love to h

Like the OP, I needed more control over the crawling behaviour for a project. All the scraping code quickly became a mess though, so I wrote a library that lets you declaratively define the data you're interested in (think Django forms

That's not actually lxml's fault, it depends on the libxml2 installed in your environment. Just like Jake232, I haven't found a site that lxml can't handle lately, using libxml 2.9.1. You can find your libxml2 version in

It bears mentioning that this is usually done in conjunction with virtualenv. The common practice is to include a requirements file in your repository, and have every repo clone live in its own virtualenv. This is something I very much love

I didn't mean it as an insult. But when you make a statement then provide an example that contradicts it, that's usually a troll move. Ergonomically speaking, the example you provided is easier to type for Django than Rails. Again, didn't m
