Honest question: what distinguishes DDG from Google or Bing? Why shouldn’t they (or won’t they) follow the same trajectory as our once beloved “don’t be evil” Google of the late 2000s? I’ve used DDG off and on, and I think the interface is

Why the distinction on for-profit? There are plenty of non-profits you shouldn’t trust. Surely their tax status is orthogonal to their trustability.

In that case, I extend my sympathies to the manager’s ego. And to be clear, I’m unaware of whether in this particular situation, the manager’s ego was bruised. So, I’m speaking to the general case where egos are bruised. The payout to an ef

Uh, fuck that? Seriously, why not the group that funded the research, or society at large? “You don’t get the credit, because I enabled you to find it, so I get to claim it as mine.” At best, that person should be a note in the colophon. An

I dislike JS, but love TS. But really, who cares about me anyway? The big picture is that JS is the English of software languages. It’s not beautiful, it steals from everyone else, and it’s never the best tool, but it’s becoming - more and

A trick I learned was to not live out of email. It’s been an evolution, not without its pain, but I’ve remained. Now Slack I’m the other hand... there is somewhat of an expectation to be regularly available.

Well, from what I’ve seen, if developers can’t get a dynamic language then they’re highly prone to cheat: e.g. not validating on IO and using things like the c# dynamic type everywhere. Point is, code culture matters much more than language

I’m on the other side; having gotten deeper into languages like c# and java; I think those technologies are vastly over used, and great languages like Python and Typescript are under used.

I don’t think any of this is wrong or bad, but it feels a bit outdated. Black and ISort are great, but rather than a setup.cfg, how about using a pyproject.toml - and maybe swap Pipenv for something like poetry. Also, huge fan of pytest (as

Isn’t that awkward though? I type H and U with the same finger. So now this involves some strange wrist / arm rotation - or changing the way I type.
