Spotify hosts Joe Rogan, so I'm having a hard time seeing how they're leftist. If they were activists, they would have left that money on the table and never signed a contract with Rogan in the first place. It seems to me that the

Reading through this, it doesn't sound like ABS was required in 2009: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... . Another source says it's been required (federally) as of 2013:

I've only run into issues like this when upgrading from Python 3.X to 3.Y, which is to be expected, and Homebrew lets you install a specific 3.X (e.g. brew install python@3.9 ) if you don't need/want be on the latest version

I use pipx for this. It isolates each tool in its own virtualenv. You might still have to install a specific Python version (although the latest 3.X works fine for me), but it takes some of the pain out of the process and makes sure you don

I found my previous job with a very small company on Indeed, but it was the only job I applied for on there because Indeed is full of garbage postings that barely describe the job, don't give a salary range, etc. I also got bombed with

I don't know anything about Chromebook, but Apple devices get something like 7 years of updates, right? That seems pretty reasonable. The first gen iPad Air mentioned in the article was released over 8 years ago and was receiving secur

For regular commits, sure, but for snap-shotting your work, I think it's fine. The backup branch would never be shared with anyone else, as you'd either push it to your own workspace/fork or to a clone on a mounted disk. For

I used to run a simple rsync script that copied all my active projects to an external drive every 15 minutes. I figured that if I had a major issue, I'd only lose a limited amount of work, which I could probably re-create without too m

Modulo, in this context, is defined as the remainder when dividing two numbers, and mod is just short for modulo. Is your objection that the term modulo didn't originally have this meaning? That aside, perhaps the % operator should b

In my experience, in the U.S., the vibes around this time of year are often frenetic, stressed, and full of forced holiday merriment. If I could find a way to completely avoid late November to early January, I would.

I guess it depends on the person, but this doesn't square with what I see, and I live in what's considered a very liberal area with relatively strict mandates. People are going to bars & clubs, eating out, holiday shopping, et

prefetch_related and select_related are pretty straightforward, but for more complex stuff the Django ORM can be a hindrance. I haven’t checked out Prisma. Thanks for the tip.

I don't see not viewing ads on websites for products I'll never buy as equivalent to pirating software, especially considering the additional costs of compromised security, bandwidth, etc, but it's something to think about. I

IIRC, Flask was originally written as a joke. It was also created in the era when using thread locals was still somewhat common but going out of style. I've always been a bit stumped as to how it got so popular. I usually recommend Dja

Python has optional static typing, which I think is getting better with each new release, e.g. allowing `T | U` for union types in 3.10. Types can be checked with mypy: http://www.mypy-lang.org/ For Django, there are these

Print ads don't have any security risks, they don't track you, they're less distracting, and they don't cost you anything extra like bandwidth. I think your analogy might hold up if ads on the web weren't so intrusi
