Seems like a cultural thing where the father's name is part of your own name in official documents. "a complete name usually consists of a given name; the given name of the individual's father, which is seldom included except

I don't think anyone is claiming that the "I am not submitting a request, just wondering how" is threatening What they refer to is the final paragraph of the mail "I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at

Thanks for the offer! Will write bit more details later on when I have time, so briefly: Maybe it is less about new/improved features, I strongly prefer a focused product over one that tries to fulfill everyones whims, but more about g

Haven't used render.com for long, but it looks very promising so far, not just pricing wise. One of the biggest appeals to me is their simplified, docker-compose like approach to infrastructure as code. Even if I only have a few servic

I’m not sure if saying it’s a beautiful message does the initiative justice. It was introduced all the way back in 1938 for low income families at a time Finland was quite a bit a poorer country. I remember reading that a big goal initially

Don't those workers working multiple 'full time' jobs usually have temp contracts paid by hour or service? I haven't seen a full-time contract that would allow me to take other such commitments from other companies. Wher

Do you have recommendations for guides and tools to automatically get a sanitized subset of prod data of Postgres for development? I haven't looked into it in a while and the last time we ended up rolling our own.

I'm not sure how useful of a description for revolutionaries this is. They are not necessarily lonely wolfs as I interpret the article, they might deeply care or not about things like diversity and they are certainly able to do a lot o

I was thinking about building something that sounds very similar when I was working at a news site. For me the main benefits of organizing articles into sagas is, that you can easily start reading up on something only once there is actually

What killed Quora for me was their push towards canonical question/answers, not allowing for any context to a question, ridding it of a lot of the nuance that made many discussions actually interesting. Now there seems to be just more

I wouldn't mind ads if there was any resemblance of self-restraint what they put on there. But yes, the web has become absolutely unbearable without blockers. I guess some big sites were always bad, but now just everything is plastered

Many educational YouTuber push heavily for their extended / deeper content on Nebula in their YT videos. I don’t know how well Nebula is doing, but I don’t see it as impossible that there is going to be some fragmentation in the video

How much sense does it make for another product to try to be even slightly close to elasticsearch? My experience with ES has been somewhat mixed, exactly because them trying to do everything at the same time and a lot of the specific things

We heavily use Metabase for about 5 years now and are very happy with it. In my previous company the BI/data science team did an investigation to potentially replace metabase with a more powerful tool. They concluded, that while e.g. s

I think various french speaking regions outside France do use single words for those. E.g. in neighboring Switzerland I learned 70, 80, and 90 as septante, huitante and nonante if I remember correctly (I'm from the german speaking part

I think for communities to work, there need to be a somewhat close-knit group with shared interests/expectations and people that are actively fostering and if necessary enforce the kind of culture they want to be in. Otherwise you just

Not that I disagree with the point on journalists behavior, I think while people are to a degree aware of the tradeoffs they are making initially, over time they normalize everything and get basically Stockholm syndromed and peer pressured

I reckon, Ruby and Rails while still heavily used has fallen out of fashion since it's peak time, whereas Python has gotten a huge boost in recent years from data science and being a common teaching language which spilled over to othe

I agree, that listening to a well crafted, thought out album is a great experience and something I very much enjoy. But on the other hand, given just how much society has devalued recorded music, these days, I don't think it makes much

I used to hate voice messages, but I no longer think it is that black and white. What I still highly dislike are voice messages without prior context or prompt. Eg. just receiving a message out of nowhere, not having any idea what it is abo

That doesn't seem to be the claim. They say one third was written with AI help . Doesn't say how much of the new code was generated by Copilot, just that it was used in the process of writing it. edit: I read the article wrong, s

The problem with any development philosophy or dogma at this point is, that it will eventually be led by people that want to make money from it trough books, consultancies, certificates, etc. People that are willing brush over any downsides

I agree. Maybe a was bit unclear. I think the nice thing about micro frameworks like Flask is that you can build your own Django. Or your own whatever it is you need. But you need to spent at least once quite significant time following mega
