I've tried Beeline multiple times and I every time I come out with varying experiences. For example it's pretty much useless for reading code stuff as it colors in code blocks with no way to disable that. Also I'm certain it

I'm using a bit of a hyperbole but using redis list as a task queue is a simple as: while True: msg = r.lpop(key) try: result = do_something(msg) except Exception as e: log.error(f&

I'm really surprised to see so much positivity about rabbitmq here when it's probably the most sweared-at software in the space. Let me share my anecdote. In my last work place I got onboarded on rabbitmq and it was such a painful

It's was great but then we improved our work flow patterns. Make is really limited and ugly by today's standards. I mean you have to use tabs for Pete's sake and if you include a single space the program will break. It's

Please lets not recommend anyone new to Makefiles. It's such a dated system that you need to use tabs for functionality. Just one of million better alternatives like https://www.pyinvoke.org/ Makefiles need to be allow

At what point you need computing performance on an I/O bound task? The only performance that matters in http requests is async support. You can have 1000 pararel curl processes and will still be dusted by a single async python process.

Could you elaborate more why python is bad? If anything http ecosystem in python is exceptionally good.

jq is yet another bloated syntax to learn and I'd definitely refrain from suggesting it to anyone whos not working with json everyday.

by kabacha 6y ago
I feel that most of the tools mentioned here are quite outdated already and in 2019 alternatives should be recommended. find -> fd grep -> ripgrep wget/curl -> httpie awk/sed are just horrible to learn for beginners, woul

> Restaurants have been running successful delivery operations independently for ages Have they? Because in my experience delivery from anything but major chains like dominos, mcdonalds etc. has always been awful everywhere in the world.

Web-scraping is hard man, especially with mom-and-pop restaurant websites that are often exported straight from microsoft word or some ancient "platform" that got reconfigured 20 times over. As article pointed out it picked up ful

> No average user wants that. That's a bit ignorant. There are many search terms that are literally impossible to search for in google because it iterprets it as something else.

You are confusing two very different concepts here: search engine/indexing and assistant. The behavour you're describing is an assistant's behaviour. When I'm using a search engine I'm _searching_ for content rather

It's weirdly déjà vu to see this sort of sentiment to appear in every thread about google and it's absolutely true — google's search quality has been on a noticeable decline for years now. It's especially funny to see he

I've been lucky enough to work remotely since the inception of my career (10 years now) and I was afraid I might miss the whole office culture if I continue on untill the covid pandemic happened. Companies showed that it's possibl

I feel the opposite. It's hard to focus on work with family at home. If your young and single then remote work is a perfect fit.

I feel the opposite. Whenever I see Makefile being used in 2020 instead of a hundred better modern alternatives I can't help but feel turned off.

How do you do it? Seems like this feature has been shutdown?

It's completely absurd to think that watching reality tv would give you any social or marketing skills — if anything I'd argue it's the complete opposite.

by kabacha 6y ago
Completely disagree with you here. If you want to be a good engineer you must be aware of the current market and trends. If anything I'd even argue that reality TV takes away a lot of humanities from you like social skills and social p

It's really unfair to clump all of entertainment together. Is watching reality TV same as discussing tech medium? Even if you boil "entertainment" down to "gives you fun points" one clearly gives you something more

Maybe it is an issue of linguistics. I've noticed then whenever you have 1 word-defintion for an activity people ten d to be much more tribal: foodies, gamers, hiphopheads are all communities that are often infamous for taking themselv

by kabacha 6y ago
I think there's a good mix of both. There's definitely a marketing push from tech manifacturers-and-like with messages such as "you need to use this gamer mouse if you're a real gamer" but there's also a lot of

Everytime I read "for gamers" I can't help but throw up a bit in my mouth. What's up with this obscure tribalism? I'm having trouble coming up with any other mass-hobby that has such a sour tribalistic identity. I l

Hacking (as per original MIT definition) means doing something clever or novel because of the love of the medium not to satisfy some sort of demand or business opportunity. It's in the spirit of "look at this cool thing you can do

I think you misunderstood me; as much as I believe in libre movement ideology my point was from a more pragmatic point of view. Libre software is more fun to work with because you own it; it's open it's free and has community of

School is for kids, it's not the same thing at all. Kids need development guidance even if it's relatively forceful. Also most modern schools offer a lot of options.

Because pop-technology is void of any sort of spirit, culture or enthusiasm. It's all buzzwords, sale pitches and wheel reinventing put in a new wrapper and walled gardens. What restored faith in technology for me personally is libre s
