Isn't Python typically considered a scripting language, and usually ranked as at least top 3 in popularity?

What do you personally recommend instead?

I see sentiments like this expressed sometimes, and I'm usually a bit confused. Are you currently employed, and if so is it in a permanent role or as a contractor? What do you plan to do the next time you want to change jobs? Genuine

I have helped support such statements in an unrelated field. My role was as a SME in specific data arenas. The general process was that our Marketing department would try and coordinate all the best available talking points. Anything we&

I strongly disagree. If we're going to use a TUI, it should embrace what it is. Turning it into a watered down GUI does not work to its strengths nor serve the needs of the users still working with it.

I've been incredibly happy with Joplin, to the point of a recurring subscription on Patreon. It's got everything I want: cross-platform, FOSS, sync with webDAV, and a good clean interface. I strongly recommend it.

Original intent notwithstanding, defaulting communication to a junk box is absolutely the correct stance given the current signal to noise ratio in email.

Strongly agree. I've been vegetarian for years, the only exception I'll make is if I go hunting with my family. If you aren't willing to kill it and clean it yourself, at least once in a while, you should probably stick to

I was actually just getting stuck there. Where does the term come from, I'm curious?

Honestly that's starting to get past the parts of that industry I'm really familiar with. I'd have to Google it same as you. Here's the FAQ page for one of the biggest USA home IV companies. It's a good starting p

Your physician prescribes an IV medication, and refers you to either a hospital, clinic, or a home infusion provider depending on a variety of circumstances. If you end up with a home IV provider, they process your prescription, ship the d

Home infusion medicine is a fairly big, and growing, option in the States. A drug being IV is definitely inconvenient, but there are some options.

Asking people whether they care and making them prove it by subjecting themselves to the slightest inconvenience may result in different conclusions.

At this point, does anyone seriously consider LeetCode et al to be a "good" way to pick candidates? The impression I get is that it's typically considered the least bad option, at best. The only insight I might add here is t

Guy down the street from me had his 70lb pitbull killed. People don't think of coyotes as serious predators, but they truly are.

I feel like a $25 digital camera would be a better bet for several reasons.

That would be a great solution. You'll hear no apologies from me for government backwardness about modern technology.

Ideally you'd be completely right. A professional with a rifle is far safer with less chance for unintended consequences (even if the chances are low regardless). Also incredibly expensive compared to what amounts to a spring-loaded

In my experience communicating these kinds of warnings out to the public, especially in a way they'll actually see and notice, is a weak spot. Statistically this kind of thing is incredibly rare, and it makes it too easy for Federal e

It's been suggested a lot. It might even work. It boils down to whether you believe rancher's incentives are ever going to reconcile with responsibly pruning dangerous species. Historically that hasn't worked out well.

This article seems like a hell of a reach. I have a master's in Fisheries Science that was funded in part by FWS, though I no longer work in that field, so I may not be entirely objective. That said, the simple reality is that managin

This perfectly articulates my experience. If everything was as simple as the resulting python code they'd never need me.

To my mind, it boils down to whether you think static types and memory management are foundational skills that a programmer is well served to learn early and build upon, or merely cognitive overhead that distract from what the programmer is

Would you mind naming the service you use? I struggle to think of good gifts in the post-stuff era and that sounds like a nice one to add to my toolbox.

This article seems to suggest that because no spike in short-term ailments due to lower frequency of care has been observed in a 5-month span, there is no damage to the quality of our society's physical health overall. That seems incr

This was my huge complaint with it. Leaving aside for a moment the morality of vice taxes, raking zero calorie soda into the policy makes it very obviously just a cash grab.

Every time I hear about abandoned "improved" tech like this, I always wonder why the idea was shelved. The link kinda handwaves it away. Any good resources on why the idea didn't take off?

No, I read the article. Is a for-loop to send each scraped account a DM with pre-written text contents particularly hard in Twitter? I know they've locked down their API a bit, do they also do something to fight with Selenium or what

This seems like it should be trivially easy, even for someone like me with relatively weak web chops. Am I missing some subtle obstacle with Twitter that makes it complicated? Or is this going to just get 500+ entries that they have to si

Bash is probably the best example of this style of working. You have a shell process that forks and spawns child processes from itself that are turned into whatever program you've called from your terminal.
