   Sorry to take your example too literally, but I suspect ad blockers still might work, because at the end, it's really just JavaScript. The network panel still shows everything the app does. Plus when I see the source code, it's st

   I recently had to implement this feature too. Initially chose approach 2 since it was the easiest. Quickly figured out that it doesn't work on the web because of stupid CORS. Had to resort to approach 3. Using https://metasc

   Oh boy, such fun. The chrome inspector is probably the most awesome thing about browsers. For mobile apps, it takes a lot more gymnastics, and you have to use something like Charles proxy. But once you get the API, it's very exciting a

   In your videos you seem to talk a lot about your custom lasers. Is this some in-house tech, or did you outsource this from china like everyone else?

   Your argument might be null though, because I still end up paying for mobile data, so I can use it outside my house. And the tariff here is kinda rigged to make you buy data. The economics don't work out unless you subscribe to a daily

   Yeah, same plan. Maybe the throttling is region specific.

   I like the sentiment here, competition is great. But there's also the problem of fragmentation in open source. I've been using caprover from the early days, and I've seen how much work githubsaturn has put into making it real

    So if I understand correctly, DigitalOcean just built an inferior version of caprover? (for which a digital ocean one-click droplet exists BTW) Caprover is essentially a really nice GUI for docker swarm, Let's encrypt and nginx. https

    Awesome! Any docs on how the types are mapped between the two?

    Yes, some code won't work -- numba has a nice compiler that will show you errors if it cannot infer the type of even a single variable at compile time (which usually happens the first time you call your function at run-time). The argum

    OP said "numba", not "numpy" - numba is a JIT that's compatible with CPython! https://numba.pydata.org/

    Apart from the energy supply, it sounds like Israel is way, way ahead of India when it comes to scientific prowess. The government is actively involved in building a good story when it comes to science - not something one can say about Indi

    While cpython doesn't have a jit, there does exist an amazing library called numba which will run a subset of python code through a jit built using llvm and make it crazy fast (and multi-core) Intel has has a library that lets you use

    You should look at numba. In some special cases, you can actually write for loops in pure python that are faster than C loops.

    I don't get how this works. Isn't someone down the line earning more profits than they would be in the smartphone industry? Like Obviously, the sheer resources required to create a router are minuscule compared to a phone, so then

    I dont get why these 4g routers are so expensive. I can get a phone with snapdragon processor, lte chip, display, battery and everything for around 1/2 the price of a decent 4g router, its insane. Market theory sucks for the consumer.

    This. I really agree with this. The async afficianados also bring along the async ecosystem split. I wish they did a better job of bridging this gap. Languages like rust, which already have amazing support for threads don't need this s

    But here's the thing. In all my encounters with asyncio, its slower, even for things like HTTP calls I suspect its because the event loop gets blocked doing trivial things like json/csv parsing, but it could just be python's

    Thanks for the insider info. I didn't run a STUN server, but I exchanged the WAN ip:port via a server and some simple TCP messages.

    Natural follow up question - does NAT traversal actually work? I've tried to replicate the NAT traversal paper[1] a couple of times in python, but it never really got it to work. Maybe my ISP's network topology just inlcudes multi

    I gather from these comments that Julia is not a good choice for run-of-the-mill devs that do numerical computation on the side, but might be ideal for someone who's entire job is to write algorithms from scratch. Correct?

    I like the idea that I can just write for loops instead of weird numpy magic, I really do. But languages doesn't work in silos. I don't want a fast language that I cannot use for writing, say web servers, without rewriting 90% of
