Long time XPS customer. My last one had the very famous battery swelling in just a few months and Dell refused to replace the battery. On previous models for other customers they replaced it for free for what it is: a manufacturing defect.

Considering how important asthetics are to Italian culture - bela figura is an idiom that is used often, and Milan is the fashion capitol of the world - the poor people of Italy not only realize they are surrounded by beautiful patterns but

That would be a horrible system for news. It would put a huge amount of power in the hands of whoever is determined to be an expert. And I don't see how it fulfills your previous claim: > and doesn't require some nefarious gov

Did someone here embrace "This won't work. Therefore, nothing will work. We should do nothing!"? I don't see that in this thread, but feel free to point it out if I missed it. I simply started with a seemingly easy quest

The options you described just leave us with a less direct version of what we have now. Someone owns and runs media companies because it is a source of influence and income. Someone will run the AI-mediated Blockchains of Truth, etc for the

I am not confident the danger is an existential threat. I think it's an interesting problem that markets are doing a poor job of solving. But since I don't want any government in charge of deciding what is fake news and you haven&

Peer review of news by citizens is already done in an informal way based on what they click on and share. Even when you point someone to Snopes showing a news article is false, people will respond saying Snopes is run by lefties and cannot

I think you are mixing up concerns. Webpack + babel does make debugging harder in general. Because you are looking at the output of a compiler. But what does that have to do with generators? Do you have a specific concern about how Babel &q

Promises and generators were ES6, so around the same time. Although people were using promises long before it became an official feature in ES6. I remember using promises as far back as 2012 or earlier - jquery had them. ES6 was 2015. Await

As someone who also does technical writing, I agree you should draw from your own experience. It can be hard to find the right analogy. If the subject of the analogy is enough of a hot topic, it will get attention itself. As you can see, yo

Generators will likely be a new paradigm. They are too powerful for senior devs to ignore. And so the junior devs will be taught. Like promises were taught.

McDonald's is very often a love or hate divide as you can already see from some of the comments here. You could prevent that distraction by using a generic food takeout store and ask people to imagine their favorite. The article will r

Some graphql queries don't even hit the database. For example, it might reach out to a vendor endpoint to fetch data from them. Some of our graphql mutations touch many tables, and do things besides update tables, like refreshing cache

Unfortunately the viability of this is going to depend a lot on what country you are trying to transfer to. In my destination country of choice (population > 200m) there are two small exchanges and four cryptocurrencies you can trade.

Based on my own experience doing international transfer over many years, the article is pretty accurate. However there is another option, but it does have more risk. Bitcoin. I'm not much of a fan of cryptocurrency in the first place.

I didn't see that thread. Based on my experience, I don't really buy the premise. I'm not saying different languages can't somewhat nudge you a tiny bit towards better practices. Or simply not allow you to do certain thi

That's on your teammates not the technology. Like any code if you want it to be readable and robust you have to spend the time cleaning up and refactoring the it. Lots of notebooks are easy to read and run reliably.

Yeah really, but I'm a very experienced dev so what I'm getting from it is likely very different from your experience. Consider looking into git or some other version control. If you are deleting stuff that breaks your code, you w

The article gives specific and reasonable motivations for why you might want a new language for machine learning. There are already new tools. Like Pytorch. If you have never used Jupyter notebooks instead of an IDE, give it a try for a few

This feels like booking a flight to get to my local supermarket within walking distance. I guess it appeals to a certain type but I don't even need a written list to go grocery shopping.

Good article and I like the music. BTW "Reverse Glimpse" gets stuck for me. Just a black screen and it will not play. It stops the playlist there too.

Fair point. And I'm responding to the simplistic idea that any one individual knows what is best for society. Those who "feel that I should only work on things that matter to society" are not immune to those systemic pressure
