After some on and off experimentation for quite I while, I finally started a side project using Clojure(Script) in the backend, frontend and the data crunching workers. So far it is more about learning new things and a different approach to

That speed improvement is assuming that people are actually browsing around your app/site. Which might or might not be true depending on what your are building. This is one of the reason why I really dislike most news sites or blogs us

In theory yes, and if you only aim your site at flagship smart phone owners. In my experience in Latin America with 50-150$ Android phones, very few developers/managers in the "western world" actually care about their SPAs pe

I usually actively listen to some new music or just think about a variety of topics while I walk around the neighborhood. So for me it's less about the walking but getting away from the computer/internet and just don't bother

In some countries employees have the right to take a certain amount of free time during work. Why would you use it? In my case, I find it helpful to go for example for a walk to clean up my head or deal with some private matters that are ea

I like both of them a lot for different reasons: If I build a more generic web application that will include most of their typical features I'd go with Django. If it is more of an one purpose API type of project or solving a very domai

In my opinion the problem is more, that console beginners are told that CTRL+C is a magical bullet that will save them from any obstacles they might encounter in the depths of the cli. It's not like other editors behave much differentl

by smoe 9y ago
How many interactive programs actually close immediately if you hit CTRL+C? Why would you expect that of vim? If nano were the editor you end up in, you would have the same problem.

I never thought much about best implementation because I only used it i think once in ten years. But afaik I used something like this, that does the job and is easy to read _empty = object() def deep_get(dct, dotted_path, default=_emp

I see the value in the latter for code legibility. My gripe with it is, when I'm new to a project that uses a dict implementation like that: how do I know what happens if for example `that` is missing? Does it raise AttributeError, Key

Hope you don't mind me asking, but why would you work 65 hours in the first place? Or what do people expect to truly gain for "giving up" almost all of their waking hours for a company? High salary, equity, respect of peers,

I recently installed Windows 10 as a secondary os on my laptop for music making. The biggest annoyance was configuring the system to not get in my way: Never ever put something in the front of the app I'm working in, forcing a change o

Agree. As someone switching between Spanish, English and German (native) daily, it is for me at least mostly about context not language. Not necessarily parents, colleagues, friends but cultural differences between countries/regions.

I switched to the XPS 13 in 2015 after ten years of Apple. In my opinion, the Macs look much much nicer overall. But after getting used to the super thin bezel on the xps 13 screen, sitting in front of an MB feels like working on an archaic

Most don't, some do. I myself moved from Switzerland to Colombia. Among other reasons because I wanted a break from the Swiss cultural and political climate. But for me, emigrating isn't a definite thing. At least as long as I don

I agree, that among other things, one should make it dependent on how the user interacts with the service. In think it makes perfect sense that apps like Slack, New Relic, etc. are SPAs. But in news/blog type sites for example, it ofte
