All imo but in the beginning Python took Perl marketshare for scripting because it was simply less "esoteric". 10 Python programmers wrote similar programs to solve the same task whereas 10xPerl programmers would be more creative.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think it's reasonable to ask a non-technical founder in a software startup to learn to program (basics) by going through one of the online courses and roughly understand the stack. So if the product is

This POV is debateable (but I sympathize strongly with your sentiment). If quick but shitty allows me to capture a lot of value then quick and shitty might be the way to go. Yes there are major downsides but especially in a "scaleup&qu

There's "catastrophic injury/health" insurance in the U.S. You just don't get it by default. I did a bit of research into the topic in the past and my takeaway is that if you buy the right insurance packages you get

I only browsed this but it seems like a pretty cool primer. Loving the style as well. It's also a very good idea to write these types of resources when you teach yourself something new because it clarifies your thought process and help

Well I ordered mine through the DB app (big mistake) on the 4th of July. I have neither received the ticket nor have they deducted any money from my account (status in the portal is "open"/"unpayed"). I got an email

Nothing against Arthur Westbook and his career choice [;)] but I think the proper way of turning mastery of a crappy codebase into a career is joining a bug bounty program. Some are big enough (think Yahoo's scope) that you can earn a

Hyundai always had a model, Nexo (name might have been different previously). Pricey though. Not mass marketed as far as I can tell but produced as a series so no vaporware and they had it for roughly as long as their all electric Ioniqs.

I don't think most Austrian econmists would self-identify as neoliberals. Politically they tend to be Libertarians (in the U.S.) or free market anarchists or minarchists (or I suppose laissez faire). Basically free-market instead of st

Curious what the copyright situation is for redrawing a movie. If it's ok the next step would be training a model with video frames and the drawn version (edge input) to undo the process :D

I'd guess the end user (product owner) of the software would interact with some sort of ChatGPT and describe what they want/need and we'd iterate from there. At the very least it would be a good support tool for initial scopi

I'm curious how does credit work in these situations? Is it first to upload/publish somewhere (arvix) or is it "here are the logs when we found it"? If it's the former, I'd build a pipeline that autogenerates a
