Neither agree or disagree, but just want to say that's exactly how I felt about Angular when React first came out. It wasn't much of a "framework" at all, just an easy way to render onto the DOM from js. I very much like

The flip-side of this is a lot of open source software is written for its own end. I've learned to be very careful about assuming something is a good package just because it seems to have nice looking docs and a bit of popularity. You

If you're interested in concurrency specifically (since you mention the GIL), Clojure has a pretty great concurrency story. But raw performance of idiomatic code is probably inferior to Common Lisp.

Euthanasia over psychiatric conditions is already a very real thing in Belgium [0] (and the Netherlands I believe). Swiss seems to be more conservative in approvals all across the board but mental isn't off the table either [1]. [0] h

Morality of suicide is a completely different discussion. Euthanasia (in practice) comes down to whether government-licensed doctors should get to decide whose lives are worthy of living. Some people will be approved, some won't. The i

So you're not in the US? Then why would you need to compete with US startups on salary? If you can do even half of that you should be able to get great talent in most places. Competing on the work environment, benefits, equity etc shou

Not sure what exactly you're referring to. It's virtually impossible to prosecute most sexual crimes. And if somebody's really out to frame you, the truth doesn't matter in the first place. Getting murdered by an angry l

It's been my impression that's exactly what it has been all along. Sex outside of marriage (or even just procreation) is a pretty bad idea but people are afraid to say it because it's "conservative". Sexual everythi

I wonder if this style of profile picture will simply go out of fashion. When someone who's not obviously well known has this close-up nondescript professional shot on regular social media, I check it out to see if it's a fake. 95

Some of it is just framing. You can replace a lot of what doctors do with regular tech and plain old organization. You could have done it for decades. Problem is regulations put a lot of limitations on who can perform what service. You can

I've read some of your replies and it sounds like you're determined to set your goals so narrowly that you cannot win. You may accept there are still other opportunities in tech, but you only specifically want jobs that will recru

If you take "determines" to mean "is the sole determining factor ... at a given instant" then yes. But with a more conventional reading, unless you define a time-frame, deny randomness or otherwise specify an outcome - n

It doesn't say anything about the inverse. You can simultaneously believe success is determined by yourself and failures are just bad luck. It's positive thinking. Some enjoy it, some don't.

Yet, it doesn't have a proper highlighter pen. It draws a straight line and adds up. If you go over the same spot twice or more text might become unreadable and it will just look wrong. I have been unable to find a Linux screenshot too

I wish more would just rally against the concept of mental illness itself. It's such a ridiculous concept and it's exactly moments like these that reveal how it's nothing more than whatever people want it to be. Until we&#x27

No, they want other criminals to know they're trustworthy. The risk of doing business is very high in criminal endeavors. People may have (or want to access) great deals to offer but no easy way to safely broker a transaction. This als

I feel like you may have a different definition of who a high level criminal is. I would consider anybody who derives significant revenue (say above $1M) from a criminal activity to count. I'd also question how many highly hierarchical

There's nothing interesting going on with UK's economy. Seems pretty indistinct from the rest of Europe. No, I do not think EU would really do major sanctions, but I do think it's something some fear and I do think it's

They're selling a device too, it's not just an app. If you're a high level criminal it's not irrational to worry about zero days getting used on you. The attack surface isn't limited to any one app [0]. I can see ho

If the EU cannot show there's a big exit cost it may not last too much longer. Economic growth is so lackluster all across the EU, including new entrants, that few people (who looked at the data) genuinely believe EU membership is a GD

It stops unnecessary pollution when dealing with code you cannot control. Often you couldn't care less about the asynchronicity of some calls. Sometimes it's not even obvious why some things are async at all. You're forced to

I've worked on (and actively promoted) products in this space but nowadays I'm rather disillusioned with the dream of effortless sync. It works pretty well in dev. But once you have to deal with aggregations and security it all fa
