Another possibility is using the `scripts` in the `pyproject.toml`, as described here: https://python-poetry.org/docs/pyproject/#scripts

We keep seeing the number 8$ billions of losses, but I wonder: does that number already include the enormous depreciation of Crypto which is taking place after SBF's demise? What if users' possession on FTX are actually valued muc

Apparently when another VC firm (Social Capital) suggested to create a board before going through with their investment, they received a plain&clear "f*k you". Corporate governance, accounting, and all the other boring stuff s

There is no way a person in his position has any time for focus. CEOs of big companies (especially in case they manage multiple companies!) usually act as firefighters and mainly mentors to top-management. They need to be able to quickly ju

> Apple is TSMC's largest single customer, but they're only ~25% of their revenue. Consider that Apple is also 25% of total assets of Berkshire (around 250$B), so it's not much of a surprise that Berkshire is going into th

Not a scientist so more of a question than a statement, but how can this be relevant given that: - We are talking about a pathway found in mouses, we are not even sure it exists in human - These bacterias are only markers, therefore doesn&#

Ideally, you could have a Postgres instance specifically dedicated for secrets - I don't see why you should couple sensitive and non-sensitive data. Many OSS services like HashiCorp Vault just do that: you give Vault a backend (which c

Did anyone try Renovatebot[1]? It should be OpenSource and endorsed from OpenSSF and Google. Main advantages I see is batched updates, which reduce a bit the dependency update spam. 1: https://renovatebot.com/

Public company pivoting so many times on low-impact high-competition niches? They surely must have saw that there is a hole to be filled, but I find it a bit hard to see them surpassing Gumroad.

I do wonder how this plays with the acquisition. IIRC, one of the merge agreement was for Twitter to avoid drastic changes that could impact the value of the company - this seems pretty big to me.

Did you give a try to https://www.terraform.io/cdktf ? Unfortunately, it is not stable yet... but we all used Terraform <1.0 for years, and I'd say the experience was never that bad.

The Italian version is fully public, and it was made by a third party which offered to do it free of charge. https://github.com/immuni-app

I hope the growing interest (probably driven also from the crazy $$$ that prop shops are paying) in algo-trading will lower the barrier of entry. Another interesting platform which grows on similar concepts is Composer: https://w

UX-wise, as other said, I think it makes sense to ask for the CC as late in the process as possible: you will make your most valuable user understand how great your platform is. Also, I think that for a platform such as yours, credit cards

What's the difference between that, and just using a private variable? Languages may not be able to restrict the operations you make on certain variables even if they are private, and even if you should use only public interface, it al

Caught it during July 2021 just two days before my planned second dose (Italy's vaccination rates were quite slow back then), had fever at 40 degree celsius for around 3 days, and around 38 for the next week. Luckily very mild cough. P

It is probably caused from postmortem culture not being shared in the community. "Having problems" in this world (any kind, not only due to the github scale!) is something that happens - we are not perfect and we work on an incred

Well, that's because threads are just first citizen in Zulip, even more than in Slack! Basically, a thread is visible at a first glance from the UI, while that's not true in Slack. Also, you can kinda replicate Zulip structure by

I understand and agree on this, BUT I feel like we are not at the point where Slack could decide autonomously which threads deserve their own channel. Usually, in our workspace, it's the person leading the discussion that at some point

To me, it is incredible that Slack is used WITHOUT threads. There is no way that information and discussions can be effective without a threaded conversation - it would just be pure cause otherwise. Also, I find feature-specific channels to

In my little experience, although GCP docs leaves a lot to be desired, the support was always very thorough and fast to answer, even for not critical/emergency situations.

What would you suggest as idiomatic server code which is not Laravel, in PHP? I had the "pleasure" to work a bit with a PHP legacy server written in Laravel, and I thought that the framework was alright - the problem was in the PH
