   Is there a more complex example? Todo app is all well and good but I’d be interested to see a real-world example

   It all runs on a couple of ec2 instances in AWS. I'm not the guy who installed it (and I started at my current company after it was setup so maybe it was complicated?) but as far as maintenance goes it's been pretty much set and f

   Ah I see. Yeah I've had nothing but grief with those outage detectors. They seem to be really optimistic and not take into account the web of CDN's that contribute to the 'uptime' of a website

    Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier to just use a serverless option like AWS Aurora?

    A comprehensive unit test suite is the best documentation your code can have :)

    I would say you need a clearer vision and more focus. Perhaps less resource usage and faster page loading can target people who don’t have a decent internet connection?

    I never thought about that; the latter point about having an understanding to take away the power and mysticism around it. I guess it's like the tech industry - and it's easy to forget we're part of something most people also

    I would argue that most people in life will never even go near the stock market let alone be expected to learn all those different bits and pieces. How would that help the average high school graduate?

    I live in Australia where the car also reigns supreme. I would say there’s no decent public transportation anywhere in the country outside of the capital cities, and even then it really depends on where you live.

    Australian, so I’m in the exact same abysmal boat!

    Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't California have public transport? Renting cars isn't the only option I would think? I dunno, I'm not from the US so maybe I just don't understand.

    I hate the idea of some company replacing a heavily-regulated part of society, and a cornerstone of it at that. School is less about the content and more about learning how to learn and how to function as a human being within our society. T

    Not really, they blamed 'complexity' and 'computer gremlins' rather than admitting that, perhaps, they made a shitty mistake. > It’s a function that deletes the local database and creates all the required tables from

    I think anaconda is mostly used in the data science community, so if that's the kind of work you'll be doing it's great for that (notebooks and such). For everything else I think virtualenv is fine, bit unintuitive but fit fo

    I don’t believe that. What do you have to back that up? I would have thought Python or Scala - been in the data analysis game for a few years now and have never heard Clojure mentioned once except on Hackernews
