From like 2003 to 2010 I loved Python. I was happy to code in it. Found it much better than Perl, my previous no-manual-compile-link-step language. I was mostly a C++ developer but wrote several large tools in python. I slowly started makin

Meh, Python picked a subset of unicode as valid identifiers effectively baking non-inclusiveness into the language. Swift, said "all are welcome"

at least you finally got to the right conclusion. If you had started there, maybe you wouldn't have considered it hard to write your spec.

Sure, but what about other examples. Tons of people like blue cheese. But it smells bad. It doesn't have "smells bad" in the name. Neither does "durian" 榴莲

The article's example of getting bad service and assuming it's about racism is not my understanding of microaggression. My understanding of microaggression is more like calling some food "ethinic" food. At least in NYC&#

Not sure what your point is. It's still a design decision, not a technical one.

I think for some engineers (me) there's not much you can offer. I don't just want any new random tech challenge. It's unlikely your company or most companies have something I could truly be passionate about solving.

why? So instead we have government officials with more money to hand to random cronies and massively wasted via graft? What I like about billionaires is they cut through the red tape and often through the inefficiencies. I actually like the

smell being good/bad seems to me to be learned? Go to Taiwan and smell stinky tofu 臭豆腐. To most non-Taiwanese it smells like cat poop or sewer water. Eating it as a non-fan feels like I'm eating in a dirty public restroom where th

My uninformed solution is, at least in SF, they should re-zone all of the financial district and union square. If the first floors were cafes and shops and the upper floors where apartments and the top floors restaurants, patios, lounges, t

You're right, I forgot about the cheese shops, because in France I wouldn't have to go out of my way to find good cheese. But, "Bread is indistinguishable"? WAT? Really? I guess we have different tastes. Other than some

I'm sure supermarkets now are better than what you grew up with in Montana but I have the opposite experience. I'm in SF, we supposedly have good produce, farmer's markets, and big supermarkets with lots of selection. But the

You clearly don't know photoshop. A better comparison is Notepad vs VIM or Notepad vs Emacs. Notepad kind of works. You load, save, copy/cut/paste, find, save. What else do you need? Vim and Emacs have a learning curve but ar

Let's get concrete! What is boring tech in the context of creating an SPA website? A LAMP stack (seems too old and boring give that most SPAs want some form of real time updating) React? Is that old and boring yet or new and unproven?

So, not having heard of Nix, I go to their home page and watch the video. It shows "nix-shell -p nodejs". Hmm, sounds like it's using the apt-get version of node which is usually out of date. It then shows making a shell.nix
