I replaced it with Ansible when I was doing a 2 to 3 transition about a year ago. It wasn't easy, but learning a real infrastructure automation tool (which Fabric is not) was worth it.

It could very well be that there's diminishing returns involved but I agree - they should be aiming to surpass the current tech by at last 100x in the next ten years.

> The supercomputer would be 20 times quicker than the current leading machine, which is in China. So given Moore's Law, by the time it's finished in 2025, it will be 50 times slower than 2025's fastest? Yes, yes, Moore&#x

Chrome on iOS is just a Safari WebView, which is the entire point of this article. You would know that if you'd read it.

Correct. YAML and JSON can be parsed into the same tree structure but are completely separate syntaxes.

The submitter wasn't interviewed by Fog Creek, but the author of the post was. When reproducing their headline the submitter quoted "I" because they didn't do the thing the title said.

StrongBox is the New Yorker's implementation of the SecureDrop software. Strongbox was developed by Aaron Swartz, Kevin Poulsen and the New Yorker and then later open-sourced as SecureDrop. Here's an article from the launch in 201

The API is open, but undocumented and unversioned (ie, liable to introduce breaking changes at any time). I would never try to build a third-party product based on this service. That's what S3 is for.

There is no advantage to 2 unless you're using a legacy environment or a legacy dependency. Edit: the "Python 3 Wall of Superpowers"[1] is a good resource for seeing how far the ecosystem's conversion to Py3k has come. M

That's an odd argument. Is Rails poorly designed because it's had 4 versions, or Django because it's had 8? Seems much more to do with the pace of the development than the architectural quality, to me.

Very cool, my org uses something similar internally as well. It's been adapted for our own specific purposes but was originally based on https://github.com/jcalazan/ansible-django-stack , a similar project to yours

It's Uber's fault because they claim to screen their drivers' backgrounds for criminal activity, including sexual assault. This driver raped a woman in a taxi he was driving in 2011, which Uber either didn't know or didn

So... Update, maybe? I'm sure the web developers of those sites aren't "somewhat amused" by having to try to support your ancient browser. D3 should work in any browser that supports SVG, which is every desktop browser b
