Currently it's my feeling about Kubernetes. Yeah not coding, but the same feeling.

Yeah. For me in 1983 loading something meant 5 mins waiting for the cassette to play through. Switching to a different program meant repeating the process again.

You seem to be picking very narrow but randomly arbitrary things to compare both countries with, or making wild assumptions about what others would use to compare them on. How about an overall view of broader things like human rights, corru

You can't think of any other reasons apart from racism why people would think differently of Saudi Arabia vs Norway?

There's dynamic typing, but then there's also all the extra stuff like mutable global state, gratuitous monkey patching, fad following, overindulgence in complicated implementation cleverness just to make interfaces more elegant e

I don't really know, as I haven't looked into it much. But my vim config is in git and shared between Linux and Mac laptops. On Linux (2013 Thinkpad) I can't really detect much lag at all, but on the Mac (2015 MBPro) it'

I've also noticed that it's slow on Macs for some reason too. The same set of plugins don't seem to cause a slowdown on Linux.

So, you would regard it as mostly harmless?

Not only those aspects of the petrochemical revolution, it's also the total pervasiveness of plastic products in our lives.

Yeah it was slashdot that sent me to the embryonic Ars to find out all about Pentium2 (or was it 3?) architectures, BeOS, and this new-fangled unstable unixy MacOS in beta etc.

Well you didn't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict that.

Defender is the all time king of video games IMO. Even though I sucked at it.

As far as I can tell, the point is that there was NO actual reason why they hated him apart from they didn't know him. Once they knew him, they didn't hate him. The ones that changed their point of view, eventually just realised t

Not very familiar with pandas, but it looks like the author of this post is the creator of pandas.

Definitely leaning towards the latter IMO. That stuff was a nightmare.

I'm doing mostly Ruby now and I miss the Python docs.

Heh. There was a python web framework called grok.

Agreed. Although getting a multiline display like the 42S or (gasp) 48S helped a lot with keeping track of the stack. edit: 42S not 42C

As someone who has been using Python since 2000 roughly, another minor factor (besides the obvious data science factors) might also be the decline in Ruby. Ruby (and Rails) growth in the 2005-2010 era, seemed to noticeably put the brakes on

Yeah - Exam performance from a decade or two ago is quite irrelevant for evaluating senior design engineers. I wouldn't trust an engineering graduate who scored 100% on all their exams to design a bridge at all. Where as someone with 1

I find that npr article on marketing being the reason for the drop in girls doing College CS overstates it and is a bit unconvincing. I took up computing during the 80s as a kid in a small country that had no real computer marketing (or eve

Yeah sorry. I've just realised how I'm subconsciously getting very picky about the domains the articles are on and whether or not I read them vs just reading the HN commentary instead (which is usually better). I don't know w

I was under the impression pinball was removed because it was basically unsupportable and too had too much low level hacky graphics code to port across changes in the graphics subsystems. A shame though, it was a fun game.

Relax, it's just a blog post from a "machine learning intern", and sounds like just the kind of project you'd give an intern for experience. Anyway the first paragraph also says: Thus, it has become engaging to deepen t
