I have the same experience for anything hyper-library or distro-specific - like "why is x package not working on alpine 3.whatever". More generally, I use async Python features and libraries, which are developing and changing very

I just interviewed at a small startup, but one that has real customers and hasn't needed to raise VC money. Some customers them millions to develop their platform features, others pay them just to use the platform as it is. No thrashin

I don't know about other Applie services, but if you don't back iMessage up to iCloud, the messages stay on the device exclusively. That's a pretty good default security level for personal communications.

Yeah... there's so many obvious counterpoints to everyone's knee-jerk "well you also upped your living costs!" reaction. Number 1 is relevant for many many people: Any pre-existing loan. Student loans, car loans, etc. It

What kind of experience level would you recommend the React book too? I've done small frontends in Angular 1, pure JS, jQuery, and fiddled around with newer Angular and Vue. While I found Vue pretty intuitive, I kind of got stuck jumpi

They actually do try to enforce it, but right now it's a losing battle. You can spin up a new voip company and start blasting scam calls from an overseas call center in a weekend, then spin that company down before anyone has any idea

Creating a front end. I actually really enjoying laying out a beautiful design in HTML, but... I hate hate hate hate hate working in JS. Just throwing up a MPA with a templating engine is not enough functionality for what I want to offer.

Very clear explanation, thank you. It seems somewhat curious they don't have to reveal when they would be contractually obligated to pay out?

I work in telecom and we interface with large carriers like AT&T, Verizon, etc. We use headless browsers to automate processes using their 15-year-old admin portals, since the carriers simply refuse to provide an API, or one that works

Not to mention any given user may only use a handful of different aspects of SQLAlchemy, and the documentation is seemingly endless. You could spend a year just reading docs on parts of SQLAlchemy that you'll never use.

I actually think the current MacBook Air configuration with Touch ID & Retina - $1100 - is basically exactly what I (and many people) want in a personal laptop. It's light, easy to use, plenty fast for anything I do on a regular ba

I think he's saying the devs are average because they're in massive corps that hire average devs, who are managed by nontechnical, average middle managers. Those corps often like Microsoft, so that's what those devs work in.
