A place I used to work had started their 'Google Cloud' journey, and the first thing the account manager did was teach everyone what GKE and K8S was and how it worked, regardless of whether or not it was required. Just seems they

Crazy that your _standing_ with the bank determines what services you get; reminds me of the black mirror episode with the rating system

Yikes, interesting that banks don't try and facilitate it easily. Is it an issue of scale? Or just that they can get away without it ... or relegate the job of 'consumer' banking to other corporations e.g. Google or Apple

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but what's wrong with using a bank to send money? Not in US, so I don't even know if that's another one of those things you can't do like having to still use cheques

Gotta be honest, that sounds dreadful. What happens if you need to talk to a human? edit: lately I've been able to sign up for insurance (car/contents) online-only anyway

It's always interesting when I hear US citizens whinge about paying more tax. Heaven forbid you get a functioning healthcare system and a government that actually governs

Pycharm also puts a handy play button on it too, which is literally the only reason I do it. (sheer laziness)

That makes sense. The curly braces do help to identify immediate blocks but I guess the problem is that blocks are too big and can’t be identified in a single screen. Although usually easier said than done

Just curious, but why is spacing an issue? Just use an auto-formatter or something. A proper IDE will also have similar tools to fix it for you

It's taught me that I can work from home pretty productively. I was worried at first given the lack of separation between home and work but the discipline required I've found has benefited other areas like making sure I get outsid

> serious or popular I'm still a little confused. What's not serious or popular coming out of Amazon? What's the different in Microsoft and GCP?

Yes arguably it's a problem with what your society and government values. The US seems to value profit over people and that's how you end up with insane university costs / debts / loans etc.

If your framework demands you make certain choices in your architecture that's a bit of a smell isn't it?

> AWS is on its way down, when was the last time they came out with something exciting? 1. AWS is still vastly more popular and with way more market adoption than another other provider (by a massive margin) 2. Who cares about exciting?

I think for the most part it works well, it just has frustrating quirks like sometimes not being able to save comments (what the hell?) or attach images. Having said that though, the user experience is also really laggy... I think if it was

QGIS but sadly I don't think I could come close to creating something that huge and still free. Doesn't make it less frustrating that it's buggy as shit

I’d hesitate to call Kafka a library...

It's the worlds most popular functional language ;)

> two of the most favored messaging systems on the market Give me a break, I'd literally never even heard of Pulsar until this article popped up. Of all messaging systems I would have thought Kafka vs SQS, or even RabbitMQ at the

Yeah was just gonna suggest either any one of AWS's queue services (SQS / Kinesis or MSK), or GCP (Cloud Pub/Sub / Managed Kafka). A quick search yields Azure Queue Storage(?) as a potential hosted option

I always think these kinds of thing are cool in theory, but I feel like "the right tool for the job" is always more appropriate, and (for better or worse - right now) JavaScript is the right tool for the job. I can only imagine (a

Curiously, I would say that if a frontend technology is fast then that's already improved the user-experience. If your user can click around quickly and if making a mistake isn't a huge setback in terms of time to navigate throu

by tcbasche 6y ago
By automatic closing do you mean not at all and expecting the GC to do it? Or with a context manager. I think trusting an implementation detail of the underlying interpreter is lazy at best and an anti-pattern at worst. We should aim to sho

Ooh that's cool - can you elaborate on the solution?

And then you need a specialised IDE to type characters? Or there's a bug in the IDE and all of a sudden you literally cannot type anymore?

by tcbasche 6y ago
This is just unnecessarily salty. Fonts may have full unicode support, but do keyboards? I don't want to have to press some weird key combination to type a symbol I might type hundreds of times each day. Honestly, it's just common
