Not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but all of this seems like a cheap strategy to make users move to iPadOS.

What tech is the remote desktop based on? VNC? Quite curious about how you keep the latency low enough that it to type in an editor.

It took me some time to realize this, but now I wholeheartedly agree with the argument that physical paper is better for reading. Now I can only envision an ebook reader that's made up of a 1000 paper-thin eink panels bound into a book

A similar incident happened with me too. Visited an optician, immediately followed by a doctor the same day. The measurements varied by 1 whole digit!

I wish it looked like the underlying relational algebra expression that it represents, but unfortunately, that's too much for your average joe with no compsci background.

The "cons" part of this list is filled with how a practise doesn't work for X class of devs. So, why not randomly pick 5 of these practices and simply tailor your process so it works well for a majority of candidates? Somethi

My opinion: It's sad that we have such a terrible education system. It's an insult to injury that the "BigCo" consistently fuel these learning groups as a marketing stunt. I can't begin to describe the sheer amount

I think its also worth looking at how people usually learn computer science. In my limited experience, most programmers learn real world software development using the internet. Some might learn CS theory in formal education, but most real

Hmm, so are you blaming the incompetence of the majority of people in the field? Also, I can't help but draw parallels to this other discussion [1] where people claim that veterans in the programming community have to "live"

When LTE came out in India, I noticed my service provider (Airtel) deliberately slowing down HSPA+. Plus, I am pretty confident that the speeds that I actually get didn't change by a huge factor when the transition happened. If anythin

I wonder why anyone would be so cruel as to put so much content in a single webpage. Did they actually had the patience to write such a long article in a single file, or did they write it in multiple files, and then compiled it down to a si

Its more of a curse, than it is a blessing. The amount of false positives from small breezes is quite large.

How do you define an expensive developer though? I mean in academia you have paperwork to prove it, but what are the criteria for distinct here?

That sounds about right. I am fortunate to have my interests and sense of beauty mostly in alignment with STEM. But the part that I want to emphasize on, is the pseudo-STEM that we as a nation promote. This is a battle that G.H. Hardy seems

Its so heartbreaking to read this. And the worse part is that this is the culture that the education system promotes from a very early age. I have seen 6th graders divided into tribes based on how well they perform on specialised tests that

The real reason of substandard education is the lack of better lawmakers IMO. And it's an especially hard problem to solve in India. Its a vicious cycle where uneducated citizens select equally uneducated lawmakers (because susceptible

I always tend to overthink. At the end, I almost always leave it upto math/science. Spreadsheets are a great way to visualize maths associated with things.

I could be wrong, but virtualenv, like pip, is not part of the core language. Its developed exclusively by pypa. https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv

I actually kinda liked having a virtualenv. Although the hacks used to make it work, were not nice. I would have loved to see core python suppport for virtualenv, which could probably avoid these hacks.

There is already a mechanism to validate the settings.py file inside django. The different context stuff can be handled by using env vars, and a nice python wrapper, like python-decouple.
