   Does decades of empirical evidence not prove that people are more comfortable with imperative, curly brace programming over s-expressions? It's not a chicken and egg problem. The egg has hatched and nested parentheses lost.

   ElasticBeanstalk is wonderful. Each to his own but for me it was the answer to the question "I agree Kubernetes is overkill for me .. but then what should I use?". I certainly didn't want to be manually creating instances, in

   If you think Python is like that, I advise you to never look at Ruby codebase. But seriously, of course you can write Python one-liners or nested comprehensions, but I get the idea that it's not really Pythonic. They still want clear,

   I wasn't being sarcastic. I also think it's helpful to cry and be angry at times, to be human, and I think it's absurd to think that we will turn into .. not that, if we sometimes use an AI chatbot app that doesn't expre

   An AI tool being positive and inoffensive makes you worried for the future of our culture?

   My name has a funny spelling. Aleksandr, with a "dr" at the end. Once when I was 9 I got a borading pass that read "Dr. Aleksan <last name>". My parents (both programmers) got quite the kick out of that.

   Not the parent, but what bothers me is how the author tries to spin the idea of taking notes when you're new as something profound. He even gives it a catchy name "WTF Notebook". And the connection between creating a reputati

    Go learn about Dataframes then. There's no reason an article like this should start with a Dataframes 101.

    Does anyone here use Kalman filter for pairs trading?

    The exclusivity and (assumed) low volume is what made me think of arb opportunities in the first place :) I doubt I'll be getting an invitation to trade.

    So LTSE is like a private investors club for companies with "long term purpose"? But as the FAQ says the companies have to already be listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq. So if you can access LTSE trading, you'll be able to arbitrag

    I took a look but I don’t think I’m the target audience. I’m happy with Maven. All I’m doing is importing Java dependencies to my Scala apps. I’m not going all in on the Scala library and build ecosystem.

    What surprises me is the amount of programmers and analysts that I meet the don’t do this yet. Writing complex, useful SQL queries is probably the most valuable thing that ChatGPT does for me. It makes you look like a god to stakeholders,

    As someone who was into higher order components but left front end work before hooks were a thing, I’m wondering how the programming experiences are different are different between the two. It seems to me like more or less the same thing bu

    For the same reason, I refuse to start another SBT project. Scala is fine, but only through the Maven Scala compiler plugin.

    It's pretty fun seeing "create scarcity" in motion. I wonder if it's a viral strategy or a way for slow, sustainable growth.

    If someone could explain the dishonest part to a simpleton like me it would be sincerely appreciated. So he has an incentive to do business with a chip maker that he invested in. But that's allowed right? Or is the argument more that i

    I thought the JSON spec says that numbers can have an arbitrary amount of digits. Also, what!! Hey! Miss you man.

    Regarding correctness, will it display uint64 numbers without truncating them? That's my biggest pet peeve with jq currently.

    Thanks for the specific recommendations for searches, as we don't know the analyst space too well, but it sounds like reporting or analytics at a small/medium established business may be exactly what she's looking for.

    The career path you're describing is exactly what she's trying to avoid. That's what "downshifting" means.

    Yeah I think that such non-tech companies would be a perfect fit. Especially since they're the ones using Oracle still. The workforce management space is not something I'm familiar with so will definitely look into it, thanks for

    Thanks for the tip! We haven't even considered that, and did not know that Oracle was widely used in universities. We'll definitely check that out.
