Not the OP but have avoided Packt books for years: I find them to typically exhibit quite low quality of writing and I assert without proof that they lack the rigor in the editing process that more 'serious' publishers have. Also

Thank you - I was starting to suspect it was just me!

I hadn't considered that possibility so this is helpful; thank you. I might run a few experiments around the office later!

I think this is a great point also. Something like Synesthesia is similar in not typically having adverse effects and it's helpful to have a taxonomy.

I agree I think. And not at all - I think I could have chosen my words more carefully there!

Not sure if this is helpful but I am at work right now building out my first Kubernetes cluster. I need a diagram of the different components to see how they all fit together and even though it's probably relatively simple, I can'

I hate to muddy the waters here but for years thought I had face-blindness before realising that I have Aphantasia. You're exactly right: I know what a Sphere looks like but I am missing the bit that the rest of the world seems to have

There's a couple of bad faith arguments in this article that I didn't care for: - Regarding user identification, rolling my IP address is trivial with a VPN. Less so on my static IP. - The Facebook example without cookie deletion

If I had any Python 2.7 stuff, I would simply move it to Pypy which has no such obsolescence date.

I've similar reservations but GiveWell [0] do some fine work in this area and I'd encourage you to at least check out their work. I'm not sure I agree with the religious part of your comment, on the basis that religious belie

Your statement is hyperbolic but I take your point. I think we all expected a little better from Tesla though!

I suspect you're right - we probably got a bit caught up in best practices to our detriment. Thank you for this.

This sounds exhausting! But I'm betting there's some pretty solid benefits or you wouldn't do it. Could you expand on why someone might pick this a little?

I used Typescript from the get-go on a new project recently and it's slowed down both mine and my team's development velocity a lot. Time will tell if it's a smart decision but in terms of prototyping or spiking something, I&

Would you mind expanding on this? I went from Django to Rails and loved it so I'm always genuinely curious about the experiences of people who didn't have the same fun as me.

I saw this! It makes sense with the proliferation of front end view layers so I'm pleased that there's less work for me to do to integrate things like Vue and React. I was very late to the party with Rails but I do think it gets a

Fully agree with you - been in the JS world a lot lately and it's not as polished as the more 'traditional' web frameworks. Channels was supposed to make core but never did - what happened there? That's what I was drivin

What happened to bringing this into core? Last I was using Django that was the next big integration and it just sort of faded away.

I know this is the opposite of what you asked but I find Rails to be keeping pace with modernity much better than its conemporaries! Django seem to have given up on integrating websockets (ActionCable has been in Rails for literally years n

They're fantastic and I hope the future is bright for them but I've had to pick Rails for a few projects over the last few months because the library support is so much more established. The more I get to use Phoenix, the more I a

Yes. And perhaps I'm cynical in my old age but if I were Google, I would prefer that people used my extension so I could more easily line-up their browsing habits.

I'm not sure this is accurate - I used to download music and can count on one hand how many times I procured a deliberately bad file. Spotify represents a reasonably priced and convenient service that has the music I want. I did recent

I did the Google-free Android thing (until yesterday in fact!) with MicroG and while the functionality was fine, the updates never worked properly and I'd have to format each time and reload everything. I enjoyed CopperheadOS until tha

I'll get right on using this the instant I want to bombard my users with 20 recommendations for a product they already own. Is there a bit of a lack of knowledge of how their recommendation system is perceived by the general public or

Thank you so much for a concise answer to the exact question I had.

I'm not sure it's fair to say 'without any further purpose'. People aren't leveraging the functionality of a third party to show a thread of tweets for fun; they're doing this because the experience of reading

I agree fully. I've no clue why phone numbers a prerequisite for most email account providers or anything else I have to sign up for. There is no quicker way to make me bail on a signup flow that to demand something that has nothing to

Thank you for this - I'd often assumed Canvas Defender was no good but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I would encourage anyone with even a passing interest to read this truly illuminating post because there is some fascina
