You don't need wireshark - open dev console and observe that any map operation (drag/zoom/draw and anything else) requires an api request to gmaps. You can contrast that with mapbox which seems to have been designed upfront w

Like it or not (I do...) terraform is the de-facto industry standard, and pretty much the only mature cloud resources management tool I'm aware of. It is unwise IMHO to use CloudFormation currently unless you're provisioning resou

2 things: 1. There is a common misconception that any threaded python code is slower than sequential. This is trivially false for IO-bound, and possibly, potentially, in some cases false for CPU-bound. Said interviewer had that very misco

Which "box" are we talking about?

The opposite of what? All I want is the GIL "discussion" to be based on facts rather than emotions, hyperboles and FUD. I'm not even sure what the opposite of that is.

The point of the code is not to speedup the execution of summing a list of random number, but rather to speedup the acknowledgement of N random python developers that they have some misconceptions about the GIL. I think it does that pretty

Ok, I see some comments (rightfully) asking for less talk and more code. # main.py import random from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor as Pool items = [random.random() for _ in range(10 ** 7)] def run(items,

Many other people "know" about the GIL, to the extent of believing there's no point using threads in python "because of the GIL". I had a funny such experience lately in a job interview. I told the interviewer his m

Possibly because vue does not have any builtin http capability... which is kind of the point GGP is trying to make up there. Angular is not overengineered, it's just feature-complete. vue is not "simple made easy", it just

I don't think that's controversial at all. I'm not aware of any kid of age < 6 who has "screen time". It's usually the first/second issue discussed when sending kids to friends homes.

Nice website. I like it. Please don't use it with your kids (of 2 to 4!!). There are more than enough actual objects scuttered in your house.

Fair enough. Make it a longbet - python vs. human race, who's going down first.

I'd almost consider this a subtle bug? None of the other += operators returns a value.

Right, got it.
