Why? Not trying to challenge you, and I'd sincerely love to read your response. People said similar things about previous gen-AI tool announcements that proved over time to be overstated. Is there some reason to put more weight in &quo

This is where list comprehensions came from! Like we have in modern Python, Haskell and more. SETL was the first language to use comprehensions in its core syntax.

It currently only supports Python 3.11. That is a big reason.

There is another big difference: natural languages have ambiguity baked in. If a programming language has any ambiguity in how it can be parsed, that is rightly considered a major bug. But it's almost a feature of natural languages, al

I used to regularly go to my local Taco Bell, but stopped going after they rolled this out. Not mad at them or anything, it was just sometimes a frustrating experience, and overall I was not sure how I felt about it: it's more imperson

There may be something I do not understand about LLMs. But it seems it is more correct to say LLMs are chaotic - in the mathematical sense of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The only actual nondeterminism is deliberately injecte

Zoom has been driving me nuts with this lately. I have to reauth with OTP 3 times a day, while logging in on the same computer on the same LAN with the same browser. I spend over $1500 a year with Zoom, and this issue is seriously making me

Different business models have different capitalization requirements; some (e.g. a grocery store chain) are nearly impossible to rapidly scale without massive outside investment. If a business model has (a) a high enough gross margin, and (

"Which one is easy?" None of them. I am sure you are an industrious hard worker. And to do this successfully, you need to expand your determination, resourcefulness, and sheer visceral grit far beyond what you have ever done befor

Yes. Ars the publication is great, consistently producing excellent content. But somehow its community has become disturbing. (Not just for this article or topic; pick any not-purely-technical Ars article, and you'll find upvoted com

I am speaking more generally than this specific article or topic.

Yep. I have loved Ars for years. But its community has taken a dark turn.

Would not characterize it this way. I mainly use Zapier for marketing automation tasks, as do quite a few other people - regardless of whether that is what it is "aimed" at, marketing is a major use case for zapier in practice. Pu

Thanks, this is the exact kind of intel I was looking for. Especially that they have a API connector and REST API - I was betting they DID have that, as it's a moderately easy thing for them to ad that makes custom extensions possible.

This would be my concern also, same as with other tools like repl.it, etc. But it could still be useful for a prototyping phase. (Potentially. I have not used it.)

Some people here are giving examples of using Bubble a few years ago, and found it too limited to be useful. Have any developers here used it recently ? When I first looked at Zapier about 2.5 years ago, as a developer I found it limitin

First, don't assume something is a shortcoming in their mind unless they indicate it. Odds are HIGH you are being nitpicky about things that are just not a big deal to them. Second, develop a more positive focus. More specifically: get

This is exactly what we do. It is like having a locally run staging environment, and is really great. Can exactly test things like http server configuration, cron jobs, multiple nodes (vagrant vms) coordinating with each other, etc.

Reading some of your replies, you are good at coming up with reasons you cannot be successful. A friendly suggestion: this attitude may be holding you back more than you realized before now. What to do instead, is repeatedly ask yourself: &

You might be surprised at how many clients continue to approach you even as your rates increase. In fact, there have been many examples in which people in your situation got MORE offers for work as they increased their rates - apparently it

If you are getting more job requests than you can handle, have you considered just raising your rates? Increase it by 10% every few weeks, for example, until you are not having to turn away good jobs. You can always decrease again if you ov

Important to realize glyph's twitter followers are not representative of all Python users. In general, people who follow him are going to be more "into" Python than someone who just uses it to get their job done, and thus mor

You are thinking about it wrong. This is not just "a good read". And what is my favorite part does not matter. Because you don't even know how to ask the right questions yet. Think back before you learned anything about codin
