So much this. There's no good reason to use relative imports. They're less readable, more dangerous and don't solve a single problem.

None of the points make sense really. They are more about their own priorities rather than good advice. 4 is just especially weird.

The company I work for is in the UK and uses Meet. My last one did as well.

What if you're arguing that women should stay at home, or that climate change is fake, or immigrants are a blight on society? It works both ways I'm afraid. And many people will think that those opinions are somehow good for soc

If you still wanted to use containers, podman is a great drop-in replacement for docker. Heroku's always nice and simple for getting stuff out there. Vagrant + a provisioner of your choice is still good alternative and works solidly fo

A trash bowl is a really under-recommended thing to have where you're working. A tidy space is much easier to work in, so having somewhere to quickly put the offcuts and mess is a really simple thing, but makes for a way better cooking

Considering Amazon built a replacement for mongodb to essentially give them the finger, I'd say it could go either way. If AWS feels like it's worth setting a precident, they may well fight tooth and nail to make them payup.

For me, the non-tailoring is a massive benefit because it doesn't try and guess at what I mean. When I search for "Python" I get snakes and language documentation. Having to be more specific about what I want isn't a g

9/10 times I see the problems getting solved in the same way you can do without docker, except now the application is also running as root and several more containers are added to work around other issues created by running in docker

Not only bad practice, but potentially not legal. Whether or not you think it's morally ok to connect to unsecured wifi without consent, in some places the law may prohibit it.

Having used clubhouse extensively, I'd say the absolute opposite. It's missing basic features, reporting is a joke and while the trelloesque usability is nice that's the only thing really going for it. It's also more exp

Also add utility bills to that. Gas, electric and water bills all increase by working from home, and for some their internet connection bills will increase as they have a need for more data and a better connection.

This is very much counter to my experience as a hiring manager. The only time a cover letter has contributed to a negative response, the candidate stated they didn't care about the company and just wanted the money. That was also prett

You should really start reading them. Many contain valuable information about the candidate and would help you do you job more effectively. I also work as a hiring manager and would probably have discounted more than one really good hire if

I use a lot of raw sql and I also use ORMs. I don't see ORMs as being the issue the author thinks it is, bit rather that developers suck at designing the data layer. A half decent design will do as you say; it will allow the use of an

Heck, some cloud providers have password logins by default. Since the instances are easy to setup I'd imagine many companies operating with a no-ops situation are vulnerable and don't even know it. And then there are side projects

The Index does, but there are a number of options that are not Oculus and provide the standalone experience. My point was really: there are other options that are at least as good, so you don't need to ditch the idea of getting VR.

You could get a Valve Index instead. That's not tied to anything IIRC and is at least as good as the latest oculus headset.

On a long page, it's really annoying and for some users not possible to flick scroll a long way. On desktop at least I can hit home or end. Removal of the scrollbar is arguably more user hostile on mobile than it is on desktop :/
