Just curious, why do you think that inter-project secrecy within a company is a bad idea?

I host a site on S3, CloudFront, and Lambda and I'm always looking at the billing to see when it's time to graduate to a normal server setup. It's not going to be a huge project to switch from the existing setup to a docker s

I can also vouch for this. I run a low traffic website on S3 and Coudfront. And Lambda is perfect for handling the small amount of dynamic content or form processing that it requires. It costs cents a month to run and doesn't need any

I'm using a toy command line python app that I wrote when I was learning how to do PEG grammars. But I've used Harvest [0] in the past when I was a contractor and I was happy with that for time tracking and invoicing. [0] https:&

I work remotely and have recently taken on a bunch of responsibility with two non-profit orgs. And I've found my time getting crunched between everything. So, I've started detailed time tracking to make sure that I don't slip

We use GitLab because you can self-host it. GitHub is not an option for us, because we must maintain control of our data and source code. So GitHub was never really an option. But we'd likely be using GitLab even if we didn't have

Looks like this also uses Zookeeper. Does anyone know of a simple streaming log system / database? Like, SQLite3 for streaming? I'm using this for personal projects more and more, and the solutions I see in this space are always b

This is a good summary of the official policy. But, it has not been my experience in practice. In my district there are 2 girl troops and neither is following the official policy. They meet in the same place at the same time as their corres

Thanks! That makes it easy to understand.

I did not read the article. So maybe it covers this. But how is that different to living in New Orleans or Florida or a bunch of South America. It’s 90 with 80% humidity there all the time and people have lived there for hundreds of years w

Yeah, I think I agree with this. I've always worked at companies with increasing autonomy and responsibility. And before that, I was in a number of youth programs focused on accountability and responsibility. And totally agree that not

I think there are people that need physical presence at work and people that don't. I've been working remotely for 2 years and don't see myself stoping anytime soon. All my coworkers are in California, but there's no ass

I don't think you understand. From the perspective of a pro-lawsuit person, there can only be upside. If they lose the lawsuit, it's the same effectively as the status quo. The company will continue abusing your contribution. But

The big case recently was in Germany against VMWare [0]. They lost that case. But it was controversial partly because the person (who contributed a non-trivial amount of networking code) was asking for monetary damages in addition to bringi

This is a cool chart. So, there are still reactors getting built in other parts of the world, albeit fewer than in 70's and 80's. If it's regulatory, I'm surprised that more climate focused candidates don't campaign

What is preventing new nuclear power plants from being built? Is it just fear/local opposition, or is there some regulatory or financial reason that new plants aren't being proposed?

Hey, thanks a lot for pointing this out! Yet another reason to use data classes vs. named tuples. Looks like just plain class level attribute declaration also works: class Node: child: 'Node' I wonder why `typing.

Other people have mentioned that the self-referential case from this post is doable. But what is not doable (to my knowledge) is this kind of self-reference: class Node(typing.NamedTuple): # or dataclass child: 'Node&#x2

Well, I don't have that attitude. Lately, I push beginners towards repl.it so that they don't need to install anything or setup an IDE. There, each script/program is completely separate. So it avoids this issue entirely. Then

I believe that it's the Python Software Foundation that is controlling the install and maintaining updates. But more broadly speaking, I'm not sure that's going to be enough. Even if you're using virtualenv's, havin

A lot of people are mentioning Apple removing scripting languages at the same time as Windows is adding it. The stub is nice for learners. But ultimately I like Apple's decision to remove them. You should not be relying on system insta

There are groups that visit housebound elderly people. Or at least, I know that several churches and nursing homes around me do that. Ask around, and I bet you'll be able to find people doing this! These groups are always looking for v

It’s generally not good for services to share write privileges to a database for this very reason. Also you can end up with services communicating between an implicit database api rather than a well established rest or rpc (or whatever) api

The colorized output is a nice incremental improvement on xxd. And, I think that it's nice that the README doesn't unnecessarily emphasize that it's written in Rust.

This was my first reaction too. There are also no links between the steps. So, you have to go back and click to the next step from the file list.
