This is a fascinating article, but it really strikes me how quickly the past fades. To a friend who’s currently deployed I sent the following message (we’re both Americans for context): > I’ve always thought the civil war was a long time

Sure. Rename a file with a .old extension, and voila: VS Code reports it has an extension for that.

It’s a 9 year old company (that’s raised close to a half billion dollars), and this is just a PR article. Why is an account that hasn’t posted in 7 years posting this?

Here’s a unique idea: if you want to influence elections, tamper with tamper-evident stickers to get votes from an unfriendly district thrown out. So practically (ethically) speaking, why don’t we see physical ballot collection as equally r

Do you mean that you’d use something like a managed Postgres AND build and run a backend service that interfaces a web client to that database?

Rather than the strange threading logic (perhaps using a threadpool executor [0] would be a better idea), I’d encourage you to check out aiohttp [1] instead of requests. [0] https://docs.python.org/3/library/concur

My son and I saw it when we were leaving Home Depot, and actually looking for parts for our rocket project. Is there a way to take a tour of, or get onto a base for a launch?

You’re not referring to America, right? I could be behind on certain policies but that’d seem to fly in the face of the fifth amendment (or is concealment not covered?).

Because there are typically uneven returns due to the winner-takes-most style of internet businesses. Differentiation is of course key, then.

I don’t know, an asyncio ORM version seems very challenging, but if anyone could do it, it’d be someone with deep domain knowledge (like you). Relationships as properties for example, I just don’t know how you’d solve attribute access in an

I’m not going to debate on the definition of the word “style”. Yeah, I see it as an alternative concurrency model to threads. And I think each has its pros. As for you not using it in situations that don’t warrant concurrency, that’s a good

This narrative is bad, as it reflects both a misunderstanding of the Republican perspective and a misunderstanding of the federal system at work in the US; each undermining your likely well intentioned concerns about the overturning of fede

I get that SA ORM is unfit to run on the eventloop thread, but I’m increasingly unclear if you hold your position that asyncio is bad solely because it makes SA ORM less competitive - and less of a ecosystem standard. The alternative being

Honest question: what if we removed the notion of “foreign” from your question? And, what if we extended this across the board to all corporations, not just Google? I feel uneasy when thinking about the society China is trying to build over

I disagree. There’s a strange precedent for builtins overloading like ‘type’. The same could be done for ‘dict’. Do you want me to share a satisficing call signature?

Not necessarily. The AA model is then unforgiving. This can create tremendous pressure, with the consequences of non-compliance being infinitely greater. When it works, it works the best. When it doesn’t work, it’s a cliff. E.g. “20 years o

Your point is interesting, and it’s how I’ve designed a lot of APIs when I’m not sure how I’ll end up needing the class or function the most: slightly less ergonomic in the know use case, but across the board it has a higher “median” ergono
