Async took forever too. Node was already being evaluated against Python/Twisted back in the early 2010s (and winning!). Great point about package management. Go already had it figured out. Node was busy figuring it out (npm shrinkwrap;

We were shipping Go services all the way back in 2011! A bunch of my friends were working at other well known companies (of the time) and shipping Go stuff. Service based architecture was pretty popular and people were experimenting a lot.

I mentioned this in another comment below, but scientific packages were often ignored when building web services and APIs and that's the context in which Django/Flask were built. At the time the scientific packages were extremely

This is anecdotal, but my experience was that Ruby was fashionable in the wrong kind of ways. For example... Ruby doesn't have primitive data types. Everything, including strings, are just objects. This level of purity is quite nice an

Why not the other way around? What did Python have relative to other languages that inspired these developers to devote so much energy into their projects? They could have chosen PHP, Ruby, Node, Go, Java, etc. If I think back to ~2012 I re

It's been 30+ minutes. All of my home's Ring cameras have been inaccessible this entire time. It's not that big of a deal for me because I planned for that eventuality, but a lot of people have not. If you run a critical serv

Would voting against Prop 13 result in you having to sell your home/condo? I've wondered this myself and if I'm perfectly honest... I'm not so sure. Voting against my self interest when all it does is affect my bank bala

Yea I guess that makes sense. Although inheritance is a change of ownership and the new owner would see the home re-assessed, no? The other issue I see is that the deferment program is limited to very low income seniors (< $35k year or s

The idea doesn't sound that bizarre to me. I'm not an expert or anything but as people grow older their earning potential slows down too. What if the neighborhood grows in value even though the retired homeowner hasn't made a

I'm not following. Postponing those taxes doesn't mean they don't need to get paid. I quickly googled it and saw "The deferment of property taxes is secured by a lien against the property which must eventually be repaid.

Genuine question: How much of this caused Prop 13? We bought a home in the Bay Area a few years ago. We considered the pros/cons of moving out of state and one pro of staying here was Prop 13 in California. We plan to retire in this ho

I think you and I are generally on the same page, but we're reading this statement by the root commenter very differently: > Don't look into the future. Because you cannot. And you are both naive and arrogant if you believe you

The problem is that everyone's definition of "simple" and "in a way that can be pulled out" is different. And in any case... just about everything you write is an abstraction to some degree; the question is, where i

Freestyle rappers basically do the same thing! It's very impressive when you see it done in person; very good strategy.

(M|P)aternity leave cannot ever make you immune from being let go. That would be insane. People are let go all of the time without any warning or cause. Especially executives.

Agree, but Weir isn't very good at writing women. I'm glad that he kept her character relatively simple and as a sort of driver for the narrative. Had he attempted adding more depth she'd end up in a cringey love triangle or
