Lambda/Cloud Functions are starting to converge on this idea. It will eventually get streamlined and ergonomic enough that it appears you're executing an expensive or async function locally, except you aren't.

LG G1 OLED. It's my first smart tv, but I'm pretty happy with it. Being an OLED, the contrast ratio is great. And if you mount it, it sits less than an inch off of the wall.

Within the past month, I've been unable to purchase Amazon Prime content on my smart TV through the Amazon Prime app, for what appears to be the same reason (Google changes). I have to go to Amazon.com and buy it through there for it t

"4 consecutive digits". But the code is wrong: def contains_cons(num): for i in range(len(num) - 2): if num[i] == num[i + 1] and num[i + 1] == num[i + 2]: return True return False ass

That's fair. I feel more confident about Google's OSS (like flutter) surviving than I do about Google's consumer products. The flutter community is very strong, and as far as offerings go, it's (imo) the strongest produc

If you're looking for a response, you're not really giving me much to respond to. Why do you think Google doesn't provide a "reliable tech stack" ? In any case, I wasn't suggesting that specifically (though I t

"All or nothing" is not the point I'm making, it's "any or nothing." Unittests frequently have justifiable value for their effort, even when only providing partial coverage. I'm arguing that the effort inv

Outside of mission critical applications, if the cost involved to make software "provably correct" (time, salaries) is greater than the cost of the bugs, it will never be adopted. Believe me, I see the appeal, but it's kind o

If we're talking about in a local community (household, workplace, neighborhood), my opinion is that complaining signals to people that you are expecting someone else to solve it. It's a bad signal in a local community, because in

And the bad PR would be something along the lines of "company gouges prices to screw customers." Yeah, I think you're right. So it has to play out this way, with people paying a scalper's premium, and sometimes getting t

I never understood why the retailers of these consoles don't adjust their prices to reflect the demand, so that there's at least some supply. When the PS5 first came out, for example, the price with retailers was like 1/4th o

Is this how you really feel about the Fortune 500 companies that participate in your From Day One conferences? That their leaders should be lynched?

I don't want the companies providing essential goods and services to run as inefficiently as governments do. It would be disastrous.

Good thing I spent time refactoring my Github workflow files to put all of the meaningful logic into separate shell scripts, so that I can still deploy without relying on Github Actions to be available.

Not to mention the financial fallout of not having an experienced leader at the helm. Sure, it would coast for awhile without a leader, and I'm sure someone will try to explain to me how it could be run completely democratically, but e
