It's crazy because while the US is one of the biggest emitters per capita, it's also home of the brightest minds and have by far the most efficient research ad development capacity. So US govt. denial is a huge hit in our already

Isn't "creativity" the result of a combination of patterns (usually from different contexts) that casually works? I bet LLMs/agents can do that (we can't know how far that can goes).

I had a similar experience. My son had pneumonia and was still filling pain after 10 days of antibiotics. Took an X-Ray to three different doctors, and only one got the right diagnosis (pleural effusion). It's really something we shoul

Just for completeness, there's also mu-repo: https://fabioz.github.io/mu-repo/ We've being using it for years. Very simple to setup.

Yes, it went commercial. But Conda is still free. And the community had built conda-forge to maintain packages. Conda + conda-forge can completly replace Anaconda for most people. So even though they went commercial, they left pretty good t

Just replace it with Miniforge: https://conda-forge.org/download/

I use Miniforge in a commercial environment and never found a package downloading from the main channel. I'm pretty sure a recipe that does that would be blocked by conda-forge reviewers.

How much of these 9% uses Apple Pay? My bet it's just a small part. People still use Pix and physical Credit/Debit Cards. Google Pay/Apple Pay are far behind.

> many scenarios where the only option was to pay with PIX I guess you want to say "only option _beyond cash_ was Pix". Most places should accept Passport ID to replace CPF. But if you found hard to pay using credit cards, that

I followed with this rationale in a small project and opted for PostgreSQL pub/sub instead Redis. But I went through so much trouble correctly handling PostgreSQL disconnections that I wonder if Redis wouldn't be the better choice

IMHO one of the biggest advantages of using HTMX is not having to maintain three layers of test suites (backend, frontend, end-to-end). You just need to test that your endpoints return the right HTML piece. You don't need unit testing

I second that. I used Dash for a while. Although it's nice to have everything wired up for free, the code quickly becomes a mess as soon as you try some more complex things (or you put everything in one function and got a big super nes

I'm using a managed Postgres instance in a well known provider and holy shit, I couldn't believe how slow it is. For small datasets I couldn't notice, but when one of the tables reached 100K rows, queries started to take 5-10

Exactly. Seems just a bait article from someone who doesn't know shit about what happened (similar to Dave Farley video blaming the Cyberpunk launch fiasco on the lack of CI/CD).

I agree that "still just demos" is an overstate. But I'd say that in 2015 a lot of people predict that in 2020 we'd have driverless Ubers everywhere. And that just didn't happen. The challenges that are still open i

Although I liked the proposal (the `-> User | Exception` idiom is quite beautiful), that's a deal breaker.

Same feeling. How this article came up to the top? The example he gives is terrible "someone used a modern framework was hacked, but the performance was not caused by the hacking, but the frameworks was terrible slow" - Ok, which

That's basically it. With the 2018-2022 boom of hirings, many companies just offered senior position for anyone that showed minimal experience, or promoted their juniors in an attempt to reduce turnover. Then we get here.

Drop React, just go with pure DRF or Flask and use a nice JavaScript library for table edition ( https://datatables.net/ ).

Yeah, PyInstaller is the best thing out there if you need to bundle a complex Python app into an executable, with cx_Freeze not far behind. But it's still considered challenging when you compare with any other compiled language, where

Both PySide and PyQt are Python wrappers for the Qt library (that makes it 2 frameworks). Basic usage is almost the same. It seems the author push for PyQt a bit, even though PySide has the same basic capabilities with the benefit of LGPL l
