There's still no such standard. You either provide a terminal API or build a custom client-server app (GUI + backend). The later means there's no place in your setup for terminal apps which expect a TTY interface (emulated by your

While reading the Fundamentals of Data-Engineering I noticed that one of the most practically interesting parts, data extraction/acquisition, is essentially skipped. The author just noted its 'grayness'. That is web scraping

It's the Westphalian system which includes not only (protestant) capitalism, but also scientific positivism, liberal humanism and everything else. Which we now call (post-/meta-)modern. There's nothing we can do about all tha

Lawrence J. Dickson anticipated this almost 2 decades ago in a research he did for DARPA in 2007[1]. Just look at the software development viscosity graph. [1] http://pros.to/wide.pdf#figure.caption.11

Looks like a last-ditch effort to salvage its crumbling technological sovereignty amid the EU's systemic crisis. Even if they invent something, production will happen in China or the US. Germany wants to preserve Airbus and stay releva

Trying to make economic sense of a political action makes no sense. Trumps's goal is to disrupt global trade.

Britain was never rich in natural resources (coal was an exception, but its importance faded). Its strength always lay in: * Naval and trade dominance (a legacy of Venetian methods, transferred through the Netherlands). * Financia

Well, it's the WSJ. In fact, we do not yet have the final official conclusion of the commission with the participation of Russia and Azerbaijan, which is working on this case. Let's wait and refrain from empty speculation in an al

I think JetBrains is a virus. My folks can't do anything w/o it. They tend to just use what works out of the box and don't want to learn standard open source tools. No wonder after so man years they still suck at command line

It's called United Nations Organization. Although it hasn't been fully implemented. It was planned to have nuclear weapon monopoly and strong joint military forces to stop any aggression. Why didn't that happen? Because it&#x

I think the AI bubble will blow up for purely economic reasons sooner that many of us think. Don't let the AI believers fool you. The time will show. The rise of IT in 80s was so to say prepared in 70s. But the economy has changed dras
