MAGA is just hate doctrine, rooted in propaganda not a functional worldview. And the hate is primarily reserved for the educated professional class - not even the truly wealthy elites.

Some choice quotes, since it’s long: > Ideas in themselves are timeless. They are not tied to individuals, much less to a people. They rest in a people, it is true, and affect their attitudes. Ideas, people say, are in the clouds. When s

Have you tried dropping the "can you"? I haven't had a problem using minimal verbiage - for instance I prompted it with "load balancer vs reverse proxy" yesterday and it came back with the info I wanted.

I think the key insight here is that actually counting calories is not needed by the app's demographic. Possibly just getting them to pay attention to what they are eating is enough for them to see progress or at least feel like they a

I use CarGurus in the US to find used cars since you can very effectively filter on features and lifespan (age/mileage). Worth thinking about - used-car buyers might be after a specific year-range/model or only after a body type a

Ah yeah flocks of people in expensive and goofy looking jackets and sunglasses - just what Boulder was missing.

Younger people who feel alone are missing out on life experiences. Older people who are alone now may have already had those and no longer need them.

CDMX feels pretty safe, it’s the more rural areas you need to be cautious. It’s essentially inverted in the US.

People talk about scale frequently as a single dimension (and usually volume as it relates to users) but that can be oversimplifying for many kinds of applications. For instance, as you are thinking about non-trivial partitioning schemes (l

The difference is if you are asked about the 5 (or however you slice it) layers vs just 1 or 2 it leads to two kinds different kinds of discussions. The latter gets very specific.

Scala Spark - a bit absurd if you don't need the parallelism, though. Most of the development can be done simply in quick compilation iterations or copied from the sbt REPL. Python/pandas feels Stone Age in comparison - you absolu

This would drive me nuts to write as a Scala dev, but I can see merit to the philosophy. Go basically lowers the ceiling to raise the floor. Meanwhile Scala can let you glimpse the heavens but has no problem showing you the deepest, darkest

I like the idea of being in a band but the reality of getting 4-5 individuals on the same page in terms of instruments (too many guitarists, not enough bassists), music choice (oh you like shoegaze? I’m more into grunge…), personalities (fu

I don’t know who is using mill but I’d guess Scala people and Scala frequently implies Spark which in turn implies PySpark. For instance I could see it being useful for a team building a source connector which will be Scala-centric but nee
