   That is an interesting post and does discuss the issue of always-local-to-me calendaring and planning future dates when you don't know what the political regime will do with those times in the future. Those are fair points. For recordi

   >ALWAYS use timezones with your dates This is bad advice. NEVER use timezones with your dates because there is only one timezone: UTC. Anything else is a presentation format. Of course, if you are in a system that already committed the c

   Eh... I have seen the same in Rust. People write tests with i32. i32 implements the Copy trait which means your can blindly clone it all over the place. When you try using some libraries with String or anything else they don't work.

   One ad is not a problem. Constant bombardment of ads telling people that they are inadequate without a product is emotional abuse on, literally, an industrial scale. And when people try to escape it, the practices in TFA make the whole scen

    Is this going to freeze everyone at Python 3.7 in the same way that CPython had been stuck on C89 basically forever because Microsoft refuses to fully support C99: https://www.mail-archive.com/python-dev@python.org/msg9

    Service Reliability Engineering is on OReilly press. It's a good book. Up there with ZeroMQ and Data Intensive Applications as maybe the best three books from OReilly in the past ten years.

    Electron apps have Helper processes. e.g. I currently have 3 Microsoft Teams Helper processes (with 37, 36, and 16 threads) running and 3 Spotify Helper processes (with 16, 9, and 4 threads).

    That's not debt. That's an asset. It's inventory. It has a maintenance cost in the sense that a truck has a cost of upkeep to keep it on the road. Technical debt is configuration and plugins. You are able to deliver something

    Lambdas are limited to a single expression. Threads don't work the way anyone would ever want threads to work because o the GIL. That said, homoiconicity (s-expressions) is not a feature I want. It makes code like reading a wall of tex
