Absolutely has nothing to do with the IP owner. That much money (as well as being tied to a big name like Amazon) attracts the antithesis of creativity, where everything becomes ‘plastic’ (someone above called it a ‘wax museum’ which is a g

WTF is up with Nord? I always felt that VPNs were a pretty niche tech tool, but I see those ads freaking everywhere. Are there that many people that use VPNs that warrant the ad investment?

Assuming this goes through (whether it’s Apple, Google, Amazon, or whoever), I could see this becoming a cultural tipping point where your ‘average American’ sees the encroachment of big tech into ‘everyday American’ things - more than ever

This has been my understanding of the state of Postgres full-text search. It's great if your search requirements are fairly vanilla, but I haven't seen any solutions for more advanced search needs, such boosting, relevance, scorin

Thank you for reminding me about Journey! I didn't realize it was multiplayer the first time I played it, which speaks to how well it was implemented (no matchmaking, no waiting, no usernames, etc - you're just playing the game an

To echo the other commenters on this article, all babies are different and there are fairly few universal truths to soothing newborns. For example neither a pacifier nor driving worked for mine. My only advice is to try everything until you

It is absolutely a bubble. Many of these companies are practically printing money, which is great - until it eventually stops. The current astronomical salaries are simply unsustainable, and there is no way that all of these companies are g

I can’t hear about the Rijksmuseum without thinking of the presentation Rob Erdmann did at Pycon on how they imaged Rembrandt’s Night Watch: https://youtu.be/z_hm5oX7ZlE Incredible work being done there. I’m glad to see the

Thanks for chiming in, Philip! I’m a big fan of your work. I was referring to the issues around determinism in queries. These are easy enough to catch if you’re aware of them, but it pushes more onus onto the application layer / devs

That’s not my experience at all. I’ve been using the included wired Apple headphones every day for running (in the Texas heat, though only ~30 minutes) and I’m going on year 4 with the same pair. That being said, there are many more contact

The space is already crowded, though (many of them being open source), for example Insomnia, Paw, Fiddler, Hoppscotch, and even Thunder Client (a VS Code extension). I suspect that the Postman investors are privy to information that warrant

Because per user pricing is in line with the value you are receiving as a customer. If you are not receiving $XXX dollars per month in value, why use the service at all? You are trading money for time and efficiency, after all.

That was 120 degrees Farenheit, not Celsius. 120 degrees Celcius is 248 degrees Farenheit, which is obviously not a surface temperature on earth (at least not yet).

Versions are specified within the requirements.txt, if that's what you mean. Upgrading can be done by installing a later version of the package and rewriting the requirements file. I suspect my use cases haven't been as complicate

That's a fair point, most of the applications I've worked on have been relatively simple (or I've just gotten lucky). It makes sense that different issues crop up at different scales, given the complexity of different workflo

I think this is it. I still don’t know what benefits poetry adds over the typical venv + pip + requirements flow, because that flow has worked pretty well for me. Is there something crucial I’m missing? I feel like package management has la

Call me a cynic, but I don’t have a lot of optimism for brain-computer interfaces. I can barely control my own thoughts, let alone understand how they are made or where they originate. We would need to make an exponential leap in our unders

Support does not (directly) make money, so it is doomed to be seen as a drain. I’ve fought the same battle at every company I’ve worked at, and I’m starting to think it is hopeless.

This exactly. The line of questioning is very combative, and they will ‘claim back their time’ if your response doesn’t go along with their narrative. These hearings are more like televised platforms for them to create sound-bites they can

Not the GP, but while the UI leaves something to be desired (it’s Eclipse-based), I’ve found it’s a very productive tool once you figure things out. ER diagrams, graphical ways to update data, extensive ways to export/import data, DB m
