I think employers with remote employees can also do a better job in many cases with getting people to socialize. It's definitely easier to socialize when in the office, but several remote jobs I've had didn't really do much

If they're shipping notebooks to production and having so many crashes, I'd question that they even know how to do Python.

That's what I don't get about this. Instead of writing code that may or may not be correct, it's writing tests that may or may not be correct.

I started playing for the first time a few days ago, and in VR. I've never really looked at any information about the game, so I pretty much went in blind. I'm having an absolute blast. Just this morning I got to watch my rescu

At my current employer we do allow this. It's handy for testing and not a big deal if we have users doing this to make multiple accounts (they don't gain anything by doing that). But at a previous job it was a bigger deal and we

Please go into detail, I'm curious how encrypting your backups has more problems than benefits.

If you're able to automate a script for it, or make tests for it, it's not tacit knowledge. Also, as someone else has said, why not just automate the prcoess? Why spend the time to write a test when that time could be spent on th

Also, it says "this substance", which I initially thought referred to the cube as it was just mentioned in the previous sentence. But I guess it's the "fluid".

Honestly IMO Python does a good job these days without engineers having to reinvent the wheel. I've used asyncio with Starlette and/or FastAPI in larger-volume systems without much issues. I'm curious what specific issues t

Well if it's from 1 to 1.5 then it's really 5 minor version upgrades at once. And since 1.5 is halfway to 2 and you round up, it's next generation!

I just want to add that using the tool "asdf" for managing python versions on your Mac is very handy. And "direnv" is also great for auto-loading your environment when going into a project directory.

I think several things in this article were more from the early 00's than the 90's. Before using tables for rounded corners, I remember playing with a multi-chat app called Trillian (which handled yahoo chat as well as ICQ and oth

I think the confusion is because "something new" isn't necessarily a completely new, disconnected product. It could be something like adding multi-lingual support to an existing product. In that case, you often do need to c

If you own the Comcast email address, how is he registering anything with it? Wouldn't he need access to the email to verify his accounts?

Surprisingly nobody else has mentioned having physical buttons on a phone. But IMO a keyboard is absolutely practical for a phone. One of the first smartphones I bought had a slide-out keyboard. It's nice to be able to tell when you

So your employer is getting the same work out of you with less pay? Sounds like you should push for your old pay back.

Maybe try to remember the reasons you originally wanted to start a company with them? I'm curious what those reasons are if this person is incompetent and trying to start a company. Did they bring the idea AND the money? I'm in

3. To be truly useful, you have to send your company's proprietary code to a 3rd-party AI, which may or may not use it for training their AI, or which may or may not have security issues and leak your proprietary code. Yes, we do this

Unfortunately the only coworking place near me is $200/mo for a shared desk area, $300 for a dedicated desk. I've been wondering how hard it'd be to start my own coworking spot.

I'm with you on this, but wasn't until a few years ago. I used to prefer number pad and, though I'm pretty good a typing, didn't really learn to use the number row effectively. Now I see no reason to use a number pad un

Exactly this. I tend to ignore ads that show up, because they're generally not useful for me. I've also noticed this most in Google News. If I search for one topic one time on Google (usually just to find some random bit of inf

Do you also avoid getting life insurance because you've never died before? For me, like the author of the article, it's not the targeted ads that are concerning, but the amount of data one company can have and aggregate in once pl

I'm curious, what native apps that are also available a web app do you store an offline copy of on your NAS? And which do you deny access to in your firewall?
