Never parse a data file with regex or string functions. Always spend the small extra time to at least write a state machine.

I came here to say this but instead I am upvoting this. Pyinstaller is awesome. Another thing to add, if you use run pyinstaller in docker with an old base image and copy the executable out, you can make a pyinstaller executable that will r

I agree. Statistics are not self evident. If you want to live a long life, build a nuclear power plant, don't smoke and wait for the lights before crossing. Similarly, there was a person eaten by a shark at my local beach last week. Ev

From an engineering perspective, I would guess, as an avionics tech, back in the age of dinosaurs, these radio altimeters are probably of a very old simplistic design as to have dead simple and reliable electronics built with an absolute mi

Tools like prefect.io, IMHO, are just this. A 'modular' Airflow where you can pick and choose to use the just the DAG with no GUI, workflow GUI, scheduling, runners of all types from local to k8s.

There are three of us, maybe? Just not to make this a useless thread, if I find I am not as happy I just get on my bicycle and go for a quick ride. Often to just pick up milk or bread, otherwise just to nowhere. I am locked down this week w

The chance of getting a million a year in stock equivalent is next to nil. These are extreme outliers, you can probably count the number of companies on two hands, and maybe name them all. In terms of statistics, achieving this would be ver

If you want to give up your $1M salary (seriously WTF) and you want to have much more control over a technology stack, sure. I halved my salary and worked in startups for quite a few years, some things were fantastic. For example, bootstrap

I assume 99% of googlers are juggling production issues. Maybe the rest are supporting the ad platforms, as the public facing applications have been fairly static for years, aside from moving the comments on youtube to the top and bottom an

I could not have said this better. This is not distributed in the modern usage. That said, I have used this in production and it works well up to a very respectable scale if you don't mind the central nature and already have a connecti

Thanks. The free tier looks good. The only issue I have is I use a different alias for every account so I think I'd run out with only 25.

Just to answer one of my own questions. I am tossing up between ProtonMail and Runbox. Both have custom domains for the first paid level tier and I'll get better security to boot. Both take BTC so it comes from my trading account and n

As much as this may not be a good example as there are so many red flags. A lot of these disruption startups are taking a standard business and pretending they don't have to have the same risks and control processes in place that tradi

I found this is not actually an "Alpine" issue but a libmusl issue. Lots of stuff like local support does not work for musl. I do like the compact size of Alpine but, if you are not developing on with libmusl underneath there seem

This all seems pretty primitive for late 80s. Already in the early 80s I had an Osborne and Walt Bilofsky's (sp?) C compiler. I already could write and compile C programs from floppy with just a few disk swaps, into native 8080. RB-tre

Still well worth learning. For many applications k8s is a great solution. That said, it is inappropriate for as many situations as it is. For ML it is good to know k8s to use it at a lower level via some DAG framework, such as Prefect.
