Yep, a __del__ in the redis client code caused almost random deadlocks at my job for several years. Manual intervention was required to restart stuck Celery jobs. Took me about 2-3 weeks to find the culprit (had to deploy python interpreter

I routinely review my pics and vigorously delete all duplicates or poor quality images. It helps if you do this for 10-15 minutes every day. At least I'm able to find most of the pictures I remember I took, and I don't have to scr

It seems young Japanese doesn't even know who bombed their country. US controls most of the world media: they can highlight or hide any fact, or inculcate whatever interpretation.

But why? Although I have way more experience with Django ORM, I find that SQLAlchemy is closer to SQL and I have to think less how to express complex queries. With Django ORM changing a few characters can change resulting query from LEFT JO

ClearCase is the worst VCS software that I ever used in my life. Maybe in the beginning of 90s it was better than existing alternatives, but I was using it well in 2000s, and it was horrible experience compared to already existing Git, Merc

It's good for the US, where it will have absolute hegemony. Bad for all the other countries that will be too small to defend their own interests. Also this scheme will inevitably start hundreds of new wars all around the world. Again,
