Still Apple keeps shooting their foot with their software. I'd love to see an update to iOS and Mac OS that doesn't feel sluggish. They nailed hardware, software is sorely lacking.

That's based on relevance. Same goes for: Portuguese -> Brazil flag; Spanish -> Mexico flag; German -> Austria flag; Italian -> Switzerland flag ;)

There's a bit of misunderstanding in your statement. Most of the money made by companies in payments systems comes from transaction fees, not from interest. When companies offer you better rewards, that's them competing to have yo

They already have Facebook Pay on messenger, and WhatsApp is mostly unheard of. Maybe it doesn't make sense to launch it in the USA. WhatsApp is however overwhelmingly used in Brazil, and highly lacking good Venmo-like apps. I did not

Just to make sure, my "ninja trick" was meant in an ironic manner. In my opinion, it sucks JavaScript has two equality operators, and it's inexcusable for it to have two different null types. That fact that you can use the fo

Mathematics require the exact type of abstract thinking machines suck at. Machines can execute things fast, learn things fast (provided we have well stablished rules), but than can't (at our current moment in time) come up with useful

As the one who implemented Airflow at my company, I understand how overwhelming it can be, with the DAGs, Operators, Hooks and other terminologies. This looks like a good enough mid-term alternative. However, I have a few questions (which I

`->` is a bad practice? I like to use it at the end of a long `%>%` pipe. Reading the whole thing feels a lot more natural.

I actually find R to have the elegant parts of List, with a more traditional language syntax. I frankly like a lot.

Pipenv solved the most annoying problem Python had before: inconvenient version isolation. Dependencies were installed globally by default, and virtualenv was too cumbersome to use easily. Pipenv solves all of those headaches.

I was delighted to find out Nintendo took the care to approach this issue the way they did. If I had children, I would definitely buy a Nintendo Switch for them because of their focus in this aspect. Since I don't have any, I bought th

As much as I love Vim and R, I think the experience is pointless without embedded graphs. It would be perfect if it was possible to view a graph in a Vim split.

I particularly don't find the problem it solves appealing. The power of Node comes specifically from its everything async programming model, Javascript is just a detail. So what's the point in taking away the good part, and keep t

For me, a lot of things simply make more sense. For example, in Sublime, the system configuration files can be modified, but you shouldn't do that. Instead, you have to write on your user settings. On VSCode, you can't modify the

OCaml is a nice language and it surely has advantages. But don't treat that as a competitive advantage. All of the benefits mentioned can be easily found in other programming languages, except for maybe pattern matching, but that can b

Most of this issues could be walked around: - For the dot syntax, all you have to do is define the __call__ method. You could do that by creating an object that encapsulates the dictionary, defines a __call__ method, and repasses the method
