"As a language however, it's a whole lot of nonsense. Extremely inconsistent syntax, stuffing a trinary logic into a boolean system, a standard that gets extended arbitrarily, and even the tooling ecosystem is a fair bit pathetic

In all fairness, dealing with unicode in general has been a pain point for me.

Personally, I don't see the need to migrate entire code bases if there is no need. I think that much is obvious. Perhaps the focus should be put onto pivoting instead. That way it doesn't leave your dev team on the hook to go back

This is true. But, I think he means syntactically you can make jumps from one dbms to another without much of a fuss. Obviously there are non-language features but, that is not what is being discussed here.

I think iterating quickly is important for startups. However, long term focus should be on staying ahead/keeping pace with the competition.

Agreed. One your last point, I don't think that will ever happen. There is a lot to benefit from your role being ambiguous.

I agree with this portion 100% The correct way to express a dictionary in XML is something like this: <root> <item> <key>Name</key> <value>John</value> </item> <item&

In major US west coast cities, definitely yes. 100k is not enough.

I used to use awk all the time whenever I wanted to evaluate specific portions of a columnar file (With a short one liner). Python comes close but, awk is much faster. In conjunction with SED, I think that is a little much and imo exceeds w

"Took 15 secs while my colleague was still stuck debugging his own weird for loops." This is a fair response.

I remember when I tried to run Doom on my old 386 HP and man was it slow haha. I think nowadays, these online arena games take forever to load. Back in the 90s it was all about loading and performance. Quite the shift in gamer expectations.

I remember using window functions to create complex data outputs for data transformation pipelines. I didn't even know what they were but postgres just started supporting them and it looked like the right solution at the time. I don&#x

Correct. I thought it was in the real estate business.

Microsoft is no stranger to that discussion. Echoing back to the early days of internet browsers and PC bundling.

I see where you are coming from if this person is a designer.

I rarely took taxis because of the cost. Uber and Lyft value is their price and the ease of getting a ride. However, as we know, this is not a sustainable model (Extremely discount rides.). Kinda sucks to see as I think the idea of the serv

The only thing I think is missing from this is area behind cap when he swings Mjolnir and knocks Thanos down. Also citing when Thor wacks Hulk with it in Avengers 1. It suffers from the same thing. I mean... when you think about it when Tho

Why I hate regex :) . You think you know it but, you never really do.

I use the below to extract email addresses. Took from some website some time ago and made super light changes to it. Not sure if this is the best but it has served me fairly well. email_reg = re.compile (r''' ([a-zA-Z0-9._%+-

None that I know of. My thought process has always been that regex was language agnostic. I think Perl has its own version that is widely used. But other than that, I do not know.

Agreed. I remember when this was frowned upon. No need to go into student loan debt for a stem job.

I will say that there are +7 billion human beings on this planet all requiring their share of resources. We need to do this. Nothing wrong with a dissenting pov in good faith. That is part of the process and how these kinds of things work.

I see these kinds of books as good points for reference. These days I like video formats that reference the theory and show real world examples.

Stopped right here: "For example, to express the number 128 in the current binary system, 8 "bits" will be required. With the ternary system, only 5 "trits" will be required." Does that mean 8 bits != 5 trits?

Great work. It does a good enough job handling most common cases. At least for me.

That is a good idea. Keeps player engagement up.
