I think we’re on the same page, but I’d argue that a race is defined by how it’s used, if people decide to lump Muslims together into one category and generalize based on that, like is common in the West, then I’d say it’s probably a race.

Or because they don’t want to give you a reasonable choice but to send all your viewing data to them. Comparing prices of dumb TVs a few years ago to these “enterprise” ones, it seems unlikely that the premium is to make up for lost ad reve

Yes. You can still send an EOF to quit (ctrl+d), or do "raise SystemExit()" which is all quit() does anyway: >>> print(inspect.getsource(quit.__call__)) def __call__(self, code=None): try:

You're right, I haven't used a recent MBP. Last one I used wasn't USB-C, so I carried around HDMI, Ethernet, DisplayPort, and USB-C adapters. Not sure why you would consider that to be disingenuous, I'm merely sharing m

IME Lambda functions are mostly sitting around waiting on I/O, so I don't think it would make much of a difference for those workloads. The important technical factors for those workloads are startup time and I/O capabilitie

I'd bet a significant portion of their margins come from this, given Lambda's focus on I/O-bound workloads.

You check each one for an error and return a 500 if there's an error. It takes a few more seconds to write but is incredibly easy to read and maintain. I'd argue that this article is evidence that Rust's syntactic sugar does

I don't think that's a useful question unless you know how to answer it within specific contexts. In other words, what does "work" mean? There are so many dimensions to consider there, including technical, social, busi

I think it’s important to be more specific here. You can always mess up and pass the wrong thing, the type system can never know what is semantically correct, no matter how strict your types are. They’re about ergonomically reducing the spa

My point is that, even if that is true, there are many other factors that go into technical decisions than pure technical merits. These decisions happen in the context of a business, with existing systems, codebases, teams of people with d
