Very disappointing article. It's true that anime (as in: TV shows and movies) is more popular than ever, but its business has lots of problems. I'd love for someone to improve this situation, so that we could have more episodes o

LOTR was a work of passion , The Hobbit was a mess. With The Hobit , there was a change in directors (originally Guillermo del Toro) and lots of studio meddling (eg pushing for 3 movies when the original is a 200 pages book, inclusion of LO

I concede that intent matters. Maybe a better analogy is a bank with open lockers and no vigilance: if someone enters and steals money, the police will look for them, because "the coffers were open" is not a valid defense. But cus

Seems outlandish. Citation needed? I'm aware of a couple of cases in the US, but not all over the world. Secondly: can consumers be blamed for gross negligence? It's not reasonable for a bank to post account balances in public bil

I agree with all your points, except list comprehensions. I used to like them, but now refer the callback style from Javascript much better. Cannot auto complete at start : My auto complete doesn't work at the start of a list expressi

The point is that Ballmer is an adversary, and may choose the worst cases for binary search. As I understood, the algorithm in TFA holds against any choice. As others said, if you don't expect adversary behavior in your data, it should

Poetry does a lot of good stuff: lock file, dev dependencies (and other customizable groups), easy to use virtual env, dependencies pulled directly from git. I do not recommend pip in serious projects, as it lacks the above. Here's thi

This article is very forgiving towards tech companies, suggesting that users are techno phobic and the solution is to remove such labels. My perspective: consumers have seen new tech emerge a thousand times and are favoring reliability inst

I think that's a very forgiving perspective. Product teams are often wrong, and A/B tests can lead to inferior long term solutions. As always, it's best to criticize the idea, not the people.

Does Nvidia negotiate deals for all gaming + crypto + AI companies to use their cards, or do they just provide good hardware + software that consumers want to use? That would be the difference of an anti-competition monopoly vs just a monop

I've dealt with problems from python-dotenv and very much prefer it as a command than as a library. As an example, once I changed a .env fikr and unit tests started failing. Digging deeper into it, and lots of code was checking for .en

When I write code, I'm concerned about two things: - it does what I want - it's easy for others to understand it If I'm doing red green refactor, the red and green phases are all about logic and constraints, but the refactor

That's a bit of a strawman: you're twisting the scope and arguing for it. A more similar context would be: they ask Tom Hanks to create a voice similar to Woody, the cowboy from Toy Story . Tom Hanks says no, Disney says no. Then

Companies want to have their cake and eat too: the code is free, but they're complaining there's no warranty. If companies want better guarantees, then they should contribute more.

It's an interesting question, but I doubt it will happen. Companies gain even more (their free code is now more reliable) and FOSS maintainers lose more (now they're liable for the code they give away). More questions: How can FOS

I can see his point: deleted code is really hard to discover. You can fetch it if you know it's there, but how do you find it in the 1st place? With that being said, commented code is rarely useful and it cna be a liability indeed.

Doing a security analysis of a car is a complex task that most laymen cannot do, so the argument for laws and compliance among specialists is quite reasonable. Put it another way: if it's all market based, your choices in buying just g

Such a strawman. People get locked out of accounts with important stuff for them all the time. Let's demand more of tech companies who have the means to do proper security , instead of bling user mistakes.

I think the price point was meant to discourage people from paying. It's on par with streaming services, but with the content produced by the users. Do they get 200+ dollars in ads for the average user? For example, I considered paying
