I've settled on miniconda for virtual environment management and poetry for dependency management. I'm happier with this setup than anything I've tried before.

They lost primary power, then their backup power systems failed. They should have designed for HA across two availability zones... or at least periodically tested their backup power systems. Somebody has some tough questions to answer.

Glad that we dumped CentOS/RHEL in favor of Ubuntu LTS years ago.

Ubuntu LTS all the way... Dumped CentOS/RHEL long ago and never regretted it.

I've always been puzzled how in movies on TV in the USA, they'll air brush nipples, cleavage and butt cracks away... in the same scene that someone is being gruesomely murdered with blood spurting and entrails hanging out. It make

Switching battery chemistry to the much more stable iron phosphate (LiFePO4) variety is the answer to dramatically reduce the fire risk.

I was thinking of something similar to go's "go fmt". Something that would standardize the indentation (tab to 4 spaces), sort imports in the correct order, etc.

Installing packages, creating a manifest of dependancies, managing virtual environments, packaging, checking/formatting code, etc... should be built into the Python toolchain (the python binary itself). Needing to chose a bunch of thir

The funny thing is that Pynchon's working title for what became Gravity's Rainbow was "Mindless Pleasures" but the publisher made him change the name :)

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish never stopped being the strategy, they just took a short PR break to reset their reputation so they could snare the next generation into their trap of an ecosystem.

I really like nim and have used it to create dependency free cli tools for colleagues at work to use, and for crawling, data slice/dice reporting uses that would be too slow for Python. But had to stop using it last year when all the b
