If that works for you, then that's cool. Personally, I don't want to think about environments, and it's weird that python is the only language that has venvs. Having a tool that handles it completely transparently to me is

I guess I don't see what the problem is? If someone says a particular word or phrase is problematic for them, no one can tell them they're wrong. You cannot dictate how other people respond to language, and it's really weird

The zeitgeist has been anti-nuclear for so many decades, fear pops up around any topic that's at all adjacent to a reactor.

Flask's request context is a global object. And since this is specifically about web services, flask seems highly relevant to the conversation.

True. Sometimes they hunt for the Titanic. Do you also assume all black SUVs with tinted windows are drug smugglers? Because it's the same level of evidence. ie: it isn't.

Yes, I doubt. The US intelligence has invented intelligence plenty of times in the past, and I absolutely do not trust that particular shadow branch of ICE. Even if what they say is true, destroying boats with people on them without proof i

And we're ok with murdering dozens of people that might maybe have some kind of drugs on them? In peacetime? Without evidence? Outside of our own territory/water? We're lucky Venezuela hasn't attacked us back yet.

There's three names in that title, and none of them are explained in the tiny slice of an article that's free. Am I expected to just know who these random people are?

That's a strange mindset, IMO. I'd be pissed if I had to pay $0.10 every time I turned a rachet, and it's weird to expect companies to have usage-based monetization on the tools they've made for others.

That feels like a bit of rewriting the past. How could someone plan on stealing valuables from somewhere across the ocean... before they know there even is an "across the ocean" to get to? It also feels quite off to reduce all of

Why must there be a NEED? Why did we ever send ships across the ocean to explore? Where was the need? People like doing science, and so we're doing science.

Strange philosophy, imo. Feels very much like saying "My version of free is best, and I must force you to implement it yourself".

Most artists don't make enough, though? Isn't that famously well known? Picasso was never rolling in it, burned his paintings to stay warm, and had trouble even eating.

Yes, of course? Linux could be immaculate, but having less than 5% user share is a bigger issue that is best solved by the current market leader cratering.

I'm sorry, is that 747 different VW Beetles, or one VW Beetle that's scaled up to be 747-sized? If it's scaled up, is it so they have the same length, or area? Neither is relevant (just tell me the area to fill with balls), b

IMO we've ruined the sky already. We can't see all the stars we used to, and new ones (starlink) are visible to the unaided eye. Changing the face of the moon such that it, too, is no longer the same symbol every human has ever se

Follow the instructions for Tylenol. And for a cough syrup. Add in Model or Nyquil. 6 hours go by, you take a second dose of each, and two days later your liver fails. Which product's instructions did you fail to follow?
