Threads is a repurposing of Instagram's backends / APIs. Instagram has been based on Python from the start. Therefore Threads happens to use Python. It doesn't mean that Python is the language that one should pick when buildi

Almost all of my interaction with DPReview was when I wanted to buy a camera and got a Panasonic micro-4/3 based on their reviews I guess 13 years ago. It was good times but there's no chance of me buying a camera again ever I sus

I had never heard of this service but indeed, it seems to be a registrar builtin to GCP. I suppose this is not going to be killed, and presumably the reason they aren't migrating domains users to it is awkward mapping to GCP projects?

I have found Terraform or Pulumi to be very convenient even with a single cloud because they offer many cloud-agnostic features as well. - random provider to generate a db password, cloud provider to provision db and admin user, random and

I don't particularly have any opinion on the person, but do think that a biography written by a journalist known for diving deep, or such, would be far more impactful than a curated list from fans.

The most famous recent example if probably Ghosn fleeing Japan to Lebanon. It does make one wonder how likely it will be for the next case. That being said, the coincidence of great wealth and being from a country that treats you as a hero

This article seems to not include the update, that it will remain as an archive (content is not lost forever) and there seems to still be some updates still coming (who knows, maybe the close will be reverted). It's unfortunate that th

Aside from iOS development, Google laptops are just a terminal into a dev desktop or cloud VM type of environment. Still, top of the line MacBook pros were the norm seemingly just as a "perk" in the very literal sense - I tried re

I think people are missing that this is a money crime. In other words, the ROI from the crime is obvious, as opposed to something like murdering due to mental unhealth. Then it's just a risk reward calculation - if the possible upside

I would be very surprised if anyone at these companies go to their desk to just do nothing. Less productive than should be, sure, but doing nothing would cause general revolts from people that do something (of course there are people that d

While big companies getting even bigger may not sit well, equating business development with the actual ponzi schemes of crypto, which will result in convictions (FTX members are already admitting guilt) seems like a stretch. There doesn&#x

AFAIK it's rare for a company to actually share reasons for rejecting a candidate. The main reason for this is probably compliance issues. Is there any reason to believe this post is actually true? Startups tend to be more forthcoming

If Microsoft is serious, this is a great chance for trickle up. Give an org that has been using Outlook Teams and they won't have any suggestions, give it to an org using Slack and the feedback will be immense. I admit to getting caugh

cargo run is a command you'd generally use to actually get something running I guess. This is not going to be incremental development in many cases which focus on unit tests I guess. FWIW cold builds (i.e., in docker with no cache) of

It's unlikely Python would still be a popular language without Conda. As the article says, many Python users are not traditional software engineers - they need a tool that just works and Conda is the closest thing in the ecosystem. Use

Hi Johnny - considering there is no one answer here, no one, including you, is missing the point right? If weighting I'd generally put the largest on time-based rather than impact-based seniority, but it's just one of many factors

Do these lawsuits usually end with a significant punitive fee? If it's just a small, if any part, on top of rent it's a free loan - which is very scammy but similar to tax optimization, what is possible will be done.

Rust seems to provide memory safety built-in that is still possible in C++ with appropriate linters / static analysis (e.g., don't ever assign a `new` pointer to anything other than a unique one). I remember Google's codebase

But laws can't apply to behavior, only actions - there's no way to prove behavior. Otherwise Elon would be having a lot more trouble ;) In a general sense, this is why there will always be the concept of a loophole, and there will
