Yeah this is tough everywhere. In Chicago I could easily be paying for mortgage on decent house for what I'm paying in rent. It's just that I'm in my mid-20s and only really been making decent money for a year. It's goin

Asyncio rocks. It’s so easy to create performant little apps that can get put up without a web server in front of them. Type hinting rocks. Use it properly everywhere and you can a lot of confidence and speed when refactoring. I use attrs (

Yeah I think probably the biggest accelerating factor is out of the box user account & auth management. That gives you a huge leap from “hey my app works” to “I can literally deploy this to the public right now”. The models and rest fra

I can see Go slowly eating Python's lunch for web services here. It's close to Python's productivity and much less resource-hungry while being more performant for many use cases. Go still has a way to go in terms of productiv

I tend to combine books and tutorials... the more in-depth the better. I know Python best but am very quickly getting just as comfortable with Go. Would probably want to do this work in Go Also maybe Rust cuz I want to get around it someday

How would one start with learning those concepts first? I've been wanting a good way to learn networking that I can code along to in my preferred language

The async stack traces I've come across in Python are extremely simple to grok. I've never had something I couldn't figure out. (Using aiohttp, aoipg, asyncpg). I can't even say the same for synchronous Django. Sometimes

While VS Code is definitely good in general, and first choice for languages like JavaScript, I find it really hard to compare it to JetBrains PyCharm and GoLand (understanding GoLand has no free version). The debugging and refactoring exper

What are some good non-tracking & non-intrusive ad providers? I've wondered about one day being able to put a few "ethical" ads on a blog site.

Hydra looks like another popular open source solution, but it leaves you to implement the user login and challenge. I have been writing a hobby OpenID server as a way to learn Go and to understand auth. Reading the OpenID connect spec is SO

I'm thinking either sensitivity is lowered as deceleration begins, or deceleration is over-emphasized as you say. I can move really fast then stop completely dead even as I'm sure my by-no-means-steady hands are not that preci

I just booted a MacBook Air into Mint recently and I think I finally figured out what the difference is: Mac allows the cursor to move quickly, but where it differs & excels is how fast it decelerates or stops the cursor. On Linux, I

I've actually found `open` to be the most indispensable thing on MacOs. The Linux versions don't cut it (`xbg-open` or something?) it opens applications in the foreground of the shell process so it takes over the terminal you were

I’ve used Transit and Google Maps and to me Transit’s suggestions are closer to how a human considers transit options. Google Maps seem strangely over optimized for things like minimum walking at the beginning of the route. Plus the Google

by skrtskrt 6y ago
Use the Transit app, it is almost completely focused on city transit only + walking. It suggests ubers and bike shares, but they’re pushed down to the bottom of the options list.

If you're still "active" on the computer it notifies you there and doesn't think it needs to also reach you on mobile. But I think you can set your mobile notifications to notify anyway.

You can just add the bootstrap CDN in the head of your index.html and use bootstrap without installing ‘react-bootstrap’ (I don’t disagree with anything else you said)

I think it's a bit more complex than this. No, you can't magically create a yuppie utopia in the middle of the Southside, but you can start on the northwest side and expand it just a couple blocks west, then a few more blocks west

If you only look at home rentals, yes corporations make up less than 10% of ownership. But even the small percentage of ownerships really affect things, in Chicago we can see it has repeatedly taken just a few new luxury high rises to blo

I agree that’s an opinion many people familiar with cars would share. However the usefulness of that improvement is going to be a lot lower to someone who just needs a car to get somewhere rather than someone who can afford to buy a car wit

I didn't say the Fed calculated it. I did say they reference it to say their policies (or whoever's policies) aren't causing inflation. When a majority of leading economists subscribe to economic views that don't reflect
