Have you been to Finland? It is a very safety conscious culture. This isn’t just some fluke.

Their Apple vision ad was very dystopian feeling and to me looks like the same team did this one. They seem really out of touch. Very negative vibes in these recent ads.

Very sad news. Had the pleasure of having him be the keynote speaker at an aesthetics conference some friends and I organized during uni. Brilliant mind. RIP

I would say that they all have stable user bases which is nice to see. Though some are weighted towards different niches. I recommend checking them all out.

Although his style would seem off putting, I would not discount him so readily. He is an economist with many published papers under his belt and has worked for the WEF. Whatever happens, hope the outcome is positive for Argentinians. Edit:

Modelling natural gas consumption. I don’t think it’ll be actually useful and certainly not as nuanced as professional models for trading, but adding the necessary data to my data warehouse and then working on it has been a fun experience.

I had a globus / lump in throat sensation that was my first symptom of COVID and persisted months after. It went away somehow after I started going to the gym. Obviously can’t say if it’s connected or not, but wouldn’t be surprised if

I’ve been a data engineer for many years and have lots of practice optimizing SQL touching many parts of the language and I still enjoy using SQLAlchemy for its tight, elegant integration with flask/django. Of course some queries make

Twitter doesn’t default to the “For you” tab. It remembers which one you spend most time on (I think Elon tweeted this at one point). I use chrono exclusively and it doesn’t default to the algo feed when I open the app.

I haven’t looked at the data, but junior mining and exploration is a bit of the wild west in terms of honesty and would not in the least be surprised if some trickery is at play to produce that result. Also a reason why it’s not advisable f

You would think that but the Nintendo Switch controller still has analog stick drift many years after being discovered.

3rd party app developers are the freeloaders I would argue. They contribute no revenue to reddit, are exempt from displaying ads but incur OpEx costs. Some are as big as 1B reqs a month but act as though they are the victim. Not only that,

I am going to take a different stance here but these platforms do provide HUGE value. Hosting is a massive cost and so is moderating the volunteer moderators. These 3rd party apps were free loading, some getting billions of requests in a si

I would check out some videos of the Kivu cobalt mines where children work to mine for our cobalt. There are north american mines that are shut in because we chose to instead use child labor in incredibly dangerous mines that frequently hav

I learned Java Applets in school in 2009 and it was clear to me then that they were sort of… awkward. Java itself is fine and I still do a little Java work from time time and it’s a breath of fresh air from the daily python work.

Reminds me, I had to once set up lighthouse scans for thousands of sites and the only way to do this fast enough was to run the tests concurrently on a single machine. But the test results also depended on cpu load of thr machine running th

Not a front end dev but this is why I love using vanilla js and pre rendered html in side projects. Easier to maintain long term as I don’t have to deal with ridiculous framework updates and feels snappier.

Stockholm to Narvik without changes and with private room was amazing. Very cozy experience, would do it again.

Speaking for myself, the issue is that I don’t know enough about devops/security to go barebones (esp if for a side project accepting payments w/ sensitive data). It’s of course dead simple to set up a server barebones, but to do

In the summer if I don’t sleep with my mask off I start to feel myself slowly unhinging. Sun being out at 2am while you’re trying to sleep can definitely make you feel out of it! Hard to find blackout curtains that work perfectly too.

It’s hard to not have a skeptical view towards government intervention in this case when the whole province is run, media included, by a handful of families. Hope it turns out for the better for everyone living there, and very sorry for you

Fixes this issue basically: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/issues/6512#:~:te... . Tried all of the proposed solutions and this error still pops up on certain sites and certain configuration setting

Not sure if it's just me, but the Lighthouse CLI is so buggy that I've resorted to setting to up to run in a docker container so that it doesn't crash when trying to load certain sites/configurations. Hope that they work

Not exactly true. Fiat currency, in part, gets its value by the fact the governments can throw you in jail for not paying taxes with it. Sure, not going to jail could be a subjective preference, but pragmatically speaking, that's a big

I struggle with how to handle this at work. I am a data engineer and while writing new scripts to pull data, the testing process sometimes involves waiting 15 mins to an hour (or more) for all the data to pull. Some times I'll start a
