Django/DRF are fine for API's particularly with DRF Spectacular to generate the Open API specs. DRF couples tightly to the ORM and plays nicely with the Django DB models. FastAPI will have more boilerplate, but I'm not sure

SparcOS was an awesome unix. Linux was respectable as well, but the hardware story in 2007 was much more shitty. Hardware vendors pretty much ignored linux, going for windows as I recall. So if you just wanted a good Unix environment, Spa

That's my big problem with youtube premium. I don't mind creators asking people to support them on patreon, etc. But paying $X per month and still seeing sponsored content, is kind of annoying. At least mark the sponsored content

Likely you're in a blocked IP address range. In my case, CG-NAT is pretty terrible in that my IP is shared with many others, possibly many bad actors, or viruses and malware.

Suzuki is the best example I can find. They were famous for looms well before motorcycles. I'm betting the best examples will also come from Japan after WWII. Netflix might be a close second because it went from managing warehouses f

I realize this isn't the HN popular opinion, but nuclear power will be great once: 1. People are educated about true risk AND forget about Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl. Or the need to have iodine pills if you live near

Look at United Airlines. UA didn't fund the pension plan, then declared bankruptcy in 2005 primarily to get the $10B pension off it's books. Now that UA is profitable again, it's under no obligation to fund the pension plan i

For comms it's better since raptorq can generate a large number of symbols. One use would be a TCP replacement. If a file can be transmitted in 100 TCP packets, and there's 10% loss on the link, then the client needs to retry th

There's some belief that diet sodas, while not as bad as sugared sodas, are not that great either. I'm sure, though, a doctor would still tell me that he would rather have me drink diet mountain dew than the sugared stuff if it

Yes, and we have blue algae alerts on ponds and lakes where I live. Kinda sucks when you go to a lake to swim for your family vacation and you can't because it's toxic.

I think it's more like nuclear fission, frankly. I don't think the major breakthroughs will be as difficult to achieve, but we'll have a trail of nasty side effects and bad actors that will be left in its wake. In 2020 I nev

This is also an argument for ad blockers and torts. Facebook should be named in the class action suit if it's not already. Torts are often the only way to get bad corporate actors to change their behavior.
