I work have built some dense UI for certain types of fixed income (bonds and swaps) trading, looking to move it all to svelte because react cannot handle the quantities of data (and if even if it could the code is unbelievably ugly). Someth

Amazon could have that business model if they hadn't almost completely squandered any trust people had in their listings.

The overtime alone would be a nightmare!

how much data are they supposed to be collecting from inside an android app that basically takes a credit card payment and displays a QR code? Ryanair at one point at least had their margins such that every penny a passenger spends other th

Meanwhile: the Ryanair app actually works, unlike many others. EasyJet App is slop, the BA app is total shite.

I think the antidote is driving education as a journey through the great questions of history. What was Newton trying to do? What Faraday investigating? Darwin? Smith? Marx? Descartes and so on. Everything is connected and there is somethin

Sometimes I worry that software, because you can do this, also let's you do similarly bizarre things obfuscated under a layer of complexity. Imagine a car company announcing they'd built a perfectly cuboidal car entirely out of (s

They tried to make it such that the drivers could not be "coached" over the radio during F1 races but it just became a farce with drivers getting stuck with (say) a loud alarm blaring the whole race because they obviously don&#x27

These are usually for the compiler rather than the CPU e.g. I don't want my error-handling code inlined! (But the compiler can't work this out without a hint)

When I was a student I did find myself longing for a kind of cozy computer lab experience but it was basically impossible. I consider myself as part of the one of tbe last generation where people had to use a computer (e.g. I remember win

It's good to have a story (I worry it's become cool slightly before we've hit the jackpot theory-wise, but still) for this but it does feel a little odd having it in "python" / a language which both idiomatical
