I've used both products in production. Both are good++. The blog wars seem extremely ridiculous to me. I don't recall ever choosing one over another based on how fast it runs on some imaginary arbitrary dataset.

Which everybody should (must?) read. Seriously, should be a mandatory read in school curriculum, instead of "catcher in the rye" or some Scottish ballade [+]. [+] not that there's something wrong with any of them

git has quite an inconsistent cli, this is well covered in "master git". And yes, I said it without proposing a better one.

I've seen a game by Alireza where he delivers mate by promoting to a knight. Arguably, the position was winning anyhow and standard promotion would also win, but the knight made it immediate checkmate. (also this https://www

Were you using the term "claims control over entry of goods into the territory" instead of "claims their land", there would be much less to argue about. "claims their land" sounds like Israel would like to anne

Thinking? I didn't do any. I divided the #pop by #area in units I can relate to (Km^2), then looked at the table and figured out it would be #5.

Gaza would have ranked 5th on population density, or 3rd if you remove places with tiny population (i.e take a "pop > 1MM" threshold). It's basically after Singapore and Hong-Kong.

FB does not control what you say. Proof: I can say "Zionism" and "COVID". It just moderates content posted on FB.

Wow. I worked in an agtech startup and this is exactly how it went. Hopefully your comment stays on top for others to read.

ok but taming complexity is what we do for a living. The Q is where to put the dirt. And under the carpet is better than on my bed. I don't know this tool but for example if I switch my "webapp" to use redis, I push some comp

I'd definitely fall into that box. But that website helped me understand why, other than being a lazy bum, I keep use google things. It's because: 1. Google has great products and they are "free". Airtable a drop-in for

Cultural fit sucks, but working with developers who cannot communicate clearly and effectively also sucks. The "how to interview" discussion must always focus on what sucks less as the whole framework of thinking sucks here.

idk. I'm listening to music on YT. Because on the only vertical I care about - can I actually find the damn music I'd like to hear - YT is miles ahead anything else. So God bless YT and its amazing, likely illegal in some abstract

As a programmer I’m mostly measured on how fast and not buggy (in that order) I can ship. No one is profiling my code or asking O(wtf) it takes. So from crap import * is pragmatic and practical. Short term at least.

The harsh truth is there are enough 40th out there who can do that AND implement DFS on a whiteboard, so why not take them? At min. it arbitrarily shows their motivation to get the job.
