Pyramid is the best of all of these if you don't need async. Look at, for example, the best of all the flask tutorials of all time, Miguel Greenberg. He still has to create a ton of the boilerplate and then restructure the app half way

Warren is a really frustrating candidate. She's the kind of candidate I want to like. At least by the way she brands herself as a thinking person--a serious wonk. A nerd. All in ways that are good to me. She wants to say, "Look, I

One thing he did was use a serial comma to reduce the risk of mis-interpretation.

Yeah, this is the real point. Python is an interface to C, C++, and FORTRAN for a lot of stuff. There are even crossover libs for running R. This is like comparing apples and steaks.

I wonder if I can blitz Apple's newly revamped bug bounty program to make a boatload of money by reporting websites that track?

This conversation has gone in a completely different direction from the article. We're now all complaining about architects instead of the point it's trying to make. But you can't fix that, so I'll chime in. In my opinio

So, basically, the people who are upset about the telescope are natives and aren't even from Hawaii. It's a bunch of white people with too much free time. Got it.

This is an incredible comment. You have some real chutzpah, sir. I respect that. You are as wrong as can possibly be, but this is a bold move.

You know that data scientists have access to real data, right? It's not all just kids doing tricks on kaggle? That we have the ability to actually measure shit? Do you think that all of this is a total joke? I mean, you're allowed

I don't think Consistency was explained in the post. But that may be a weakness on my part.

People need to stop writing stuff about distributed systems if they won’t explicitly talk about the P in CAP theorem. What happens here in the event of a network partition? There are several failure modes possible if I’m reading the diagram

The difference is in how the output is evaluated. An ML model is evaluated empirically. You compare to real world results and get an accuracy measure. An ML models tells you what something should be. And if it’s a good model, you will get

Welp, this is going to get right the fuck challenged. And my guess is that the people who challenge it are going to make sure it ends up in Judge Alsup’s court, if possible.

Are you totally and completely unaware that Apple actually does dedicate some annual cycles to bug fixes, performance improvements, and stability? And that they've done this many times in the last 20 years? Your generalization seems a

We'l fix it later if the MVP proves that bombs, takeoffs, and landing are a good product-market fit.

I'm fairly sure it's not satire. Some people just think that way.

Why would you do any of that? Comment without reading? Comment while knowing you are not informed? Are you just commenting for the sake of commenting? Is this satire?

All technologies aim to make some certain aspects of things "simple". But all technologies end up being hard once your problem space gets bigger than the space the technology has successfully made simple. And real world situations

One thing I don't like about this is that having your internal and external comms in the same channel presents a large risk of some user making a mistake inside that channel and accidentally sharing internal information externally. I c

If a thing can be done, some nontrivial number of people do it in production. The number of people who do it in production is correlated with the complexity of the thing they are trying to do and how much the "fuck it, just do <some

Fresh trash really isn't problematic. It was the food scraps we just finished eating and we would feed it to them as soon as we got done with dinner. It didn't sit around in a bin for days to rot or anything. But yeah, if we had b

It totally is. Chickens will happily eat anything. Especially other chickens. I grew up on a chicken and sheep farm. Between letting the chickens roam the vegetable part of the farm area and eat bugs (bonus: we didn't need pesticides)

The problem is where people set up the goal posts and have a double standard for human vs. ai driven cars. AI cars, for some reason, are expected to produce an error rate of 0 right off the bat and ever single incident gets used to feed an

It’s astounding to me that web development is in such a state that it takes google dinging placement for people to start thinking that speed is important. Speed is a feature. Speed is your most important feature. It’s a gazillion times more

You already have a right to buy stuff and put it together yourself and fix it. Go do that. Or pay someone to do it. I prefer the super thin, svelte designed devices that simply cannot be made easily repairable. There is no “right” to enforc

There’s a lot of research that backs this up. The process is far more important than the document you are creating.
