I used to be very dba focused ages ago. Aws RDS for postgres I just love. Their RDS products must print money. Yes I could deploy myself. Yes I could use docker in various ways - I use docker for most app deploys. But but but - if you’ve be

False. Charging back a debit transaction can be massively more difficult - the network rules are very different between Amex etc and debit. The minimums are the same but as Zelle folks are finding out - payment rails matter in terms of prot

If they hadn’t extended there was talk of actually forking python. Basically people needed a 2.x compatible python, and most features being put into 3 could have been backported. So you’d maybe keep u””, keep print, add futures stuff for fo

Given dependency chains the business case for these “quick” switches was often poor as well. Yes, Dropbox had $$ and guido - but that wasn’t everyone and most code was 2 at the time. Many folks would have been ok updating to 3 compatible ap

by onphonenow 4y ago
Right. I think a key miss was underestimating value of code that would work w both 2 and 3. This avoids need to upgrade all at once. Relax things a tiny bit in 3, back port to 2 via futures, get a library like six going. It could have been

“It's high time people like you stop making up excuses and start to own up their misconceptions, misjudgements, and mistakes.” What is it about python 3 that brings out this lecture stuff. I would really like to see the inside of this

This was the issue. Why should a new version make it hard to run old code for no particular reason except to break things. Folks using u”” were already being careful with Unicode . Supposedly Unicode was important enough for 3 to default to

by onphonenow 4y ago
This is totally false - code produced by 2to3 no longer ran on 2. So you ended up w a chicken and egg problem. Things like u would allow folks to keep compatibility with 2 while working in 3. Your comment is a perfect illustration of the is

by onphonenow 4y ago
The python maintainers went out of their way to break things - and were smug about it. That’s what it felt like to the community. A big part of 3 was Unicode strings. In 2 you could mark a string as Unicode with a u””. This would have been

But even then the price wouldn’t make sense right? I mean - regardless of unit confusion, didn’t they have to at some point calculate a price per unit themselves ? At that point the error would be pretty clear no? I can’t think of a combina

What’s funny is echo from Amazon works great for your google workspace account! Google has improved the situation but for like 6 years the mind boggled - so busy chasing big ai stuff, so little attention to customer stuff - the threads on t

Are you saying they agreed to a deal without even knowing the price of a ‘unit’?? They truly are idiots then

by onphonenow 4y ago
Who cares, didn’t they know how much they’d be paid per ‘unit’?? If they didn’t ask even that they are idiots - that’s the core part of the deal, 1 unit or 6,000

Just realize that’s the end of your google relationship. Same with steam, Sony etc. some pretty horrific stories of people losing access to everything- email, fi phone service, google play services on their phone. Plenty of these stories:

This is what I don’t get about google. I was all in on their ecosystem but then things like google speakers not working with google work calendars despite thousands of requests for 5 plus years. Meanwhile Amazon added feature to echo quickl

That’s a risk. I pay for my account to try and mitigate this risk so I’m the actual customer, not advertisers. Google workspaces has a support assisted recovery option. I host dns separately from google as their admin level recovery may req

Just mixing in salads with some protein I love doing. We grow lettuce- you can dress it and then spend time chatting and crunching lettuce. It passes the time. No idea if it’s actually low calorie but a lot of roughage may help you move stu

Other factors in fairness are kids and medical stuff. I spent 3k fixing up a wonderful 3.5k used car - have had it for years - runs great even though 16 years old. I do want / need to buy a new car but prices seem crazy to me! Kia soul

And folks in the system may note that if folks lived close to or with their elderly parents many issues could be dealt with more easily. You had authority (poa) but may have been seen as abdicating responsibility. Ideas for folks who want t

Thanks that is helpful. Is this clearly accepted enough to correct native speakers for example when proofing copy?

by onphonenow 4y ago
Negative feedback after correcting a native speaker is either evidence of the sexiest bigoted Latinx culture - or evidence of a type of cultural imperialism depending on where you stand on these issues. I just wish folks could draw clearer

It’s interesting that so much focus is on getting people who are likely we’ll meaning but don’t keep up with the nuance. Heard someone called a bigot because they used the word Latina instead of the correct latinx. If you knew them you’d kn
