Refined oils aren't that poisonous. You could probably drink a gulp of pure octane and suffer no more than alcohol like effects and an upset stomach.

Nearly anyone can get hypothermia in 16deg water. Especially if you're in the water for hours and are fatigued.

Would an acquihire make sense though? Apple already has expertise streaming music. It’d be quite expensive simply growing the Music team by buying a profitable company.

Really? Do you have a source for that? I’d like to read more.

Apparently (and I don’t really have hard sources for this since it’s embarrassing for NATO), in big naval exercises it’s not unusual for run of the mill diesel submarines to penetrate the defensive ring around a US carrier group. Stealth is

I'm unsure whether you can still retool an automotive factory to produce war materiel. During WWII Ford automotive plants produced aircraft, but back then the construction techniques needed to build a bomber weren't all together

Is that still true now?

My great-grandmother was of the generation of Anglo-Irish aristocrats who delved uncomfortably into the world of fascism in the 1930s. I dug out pictures of her in front of her country estate with a cadre of Irish Blueshirts (the Irish Blac

Also, developers never design their own database schemas anymore, then when the some crappy ORM (like Django’s) generates a tediously slow schema they blame the database. It’s weird how developers get asked about OO design patterns in inter

Man I fucking hate factory boy, by default it fuzzes the input meaning your tests are non deterministic. Honesty, I don’t understand why people use it; how many models do people have where meta programming factory classes makes sense?

Agreed. But one impediment to sharding is bad DB design, which is rife right now because everyone starts with Django/Rails/Laravel and starts treating the DB like a document store that happens to have some relational features.

What is the threshold for indirect patent infringement? For instance, I don't fear being sued personally for using Microsoft office (which I'm sure infringes on something).

Would it be possible to create a corporate structure around a patent to disincentivize trolling? Like if you set up a limited liability company that owns the code that's allegedly infringing on the patent, that then licenses out the of

PIP will show you what conflicts as well. It's also not that hard to work out anyway.

I mean, by that very very strict definition nothing is Turing complete since no machine has infinite memory.

But you still need a pyproject.toml, which is just a setup.py in a different form. One gripe with pyproject.toml is that I can’t do editable installs (i.e ‘pip install -e path/to/package/‘) with it. Highly annoying when tryin

Poetry won’t help you either with a transitive dependency conflict. The problem is that Python just doesn’t have the concept of nested dependencies. And it’s too much of an arse to change the module loading code to work with a Node style

Because it’s unclear (to me at least) what problems these tools solve. Pip apparently isn’t deterministic in its resolutions, but you can achieve determinism the same way Poetry does by creating a frozen requirements.txt if you absolutely m

It can absolutely scale well if you design the database properly. However, it’ll probably be fairly high latency compared to a Redis or Kafka stream. The things that often make databases appear slow is that they’re typically configured for

Shouldn’t really matter too much if the response is being compressed. If you’re rendering the table in the DOM, the response size is the least of your issues.
