When you say you turn on wifi, do you change the wifi password on access point after it? Some TVs have been known to remember and use wifi credentials even when disabled, iirc. I never let any device on my network unless it is properly bloc

Well it goes both ways. Young people are cocky and dismiss older peoples' experience as irrelevant, and more senior people think they've seen it all already and that there is nothing new that hasn't been around since 60s. Neu

For non-nix usage, I use a docker container with debian in such cases. Just docker run, apt install, keep using while needed, then stop and rm the container. Works great to keep the main OS clean.

Yes, and it makes sense in some cases. Supervisord is awesome for this.

This is what I was wondering too. To train a model you need lots of data. How do you get it for such a project?

Who is borrowing at such rates though? Genuinly curious.

This is not how I understand it. From the twitter thread: >> Have you ever written one though? > PG: I'm not sure. I wrote something for Viaweb that I called a business plan, but never having seen one, I didn't and still

But this is not what he said. If he said that, it would have been reasonable. Instead he claims to have never read a balance sheet, which doesn't seem likely, and even if it was true, it would not be very smart. Why avoid them until

> This left other OSs out in the cold but the number of actual legit users installing something else was a rounding error. Isn't that the whole point? They forced the OEMs to drop other OSs by abusing their monopoly position. If thi

Maybe we should use Xbox instead of phones for secure communication?

Like implementing social credit score and aloowing people activities based on it? Oh wait...

This is actually an awesome idea, because everyone wins. Well, except school districts who have more work. ;) I hope someone creates this.

I like Go and the benefits are real (though a GB Docker image has nothing to do with Python), it is however very verbose. I use both (for different use cases) and coming back from Go to Python is such a relief... As with everything, this

The license is interesting: > If you work at Amazon, you cannot use and refer to this document because of the copyright violation issues. I wonder which one of the Amazon's missteps triggered the OP's ire. :)

Aws doesn't, there are only alerts. Don't know about others.

I don't agree with this - even for businesses there is always a limit over which there is serious trouble for bottom line. I think cloud providers should allow one to set a hard cost limit over which everything shuts down. For person

It probably depends on the type of apps one is writing. I am not advocating writing your own libs (though that is completely feasible too) but just using the existing ones. When one needs to convert from/to Python structures within the

>... ultimately it is a mistake if you have something that needs to be fast and you implemented it entirely in an interpreted language (beyond just prototyping). Yes. However, this is exactly where Python (imho) shines. You get a conveni

The best interview strategy for me is to give a short take-home assignment (coworkers go through it in under an hour max.) which is somewhat related to the domain space we are hiring for. Some solutions are rejected on the spot (bad pract

I would assume that alcohol consumption makes people act less rationally, like having sexual intercourse when it would be better not to, leading to unplanned pregnancies. Evolution tends to favor behaviours which lead to more offspring. I a

Well, technically one could save some information that could only be unlocked with a private key directly on blockchain, without centralized servers. Selling such piece of data would mean decrypting it with old owner's private key an

Off-topic: interesting that we often see IANAL, but very rarely IANAD (I am not a doctor) around here. Either there's a lot of doctors here, or people are more comfortable giving medical than legal advice, which is weird, as medical ad

Nice, exactly what Linux needs the most - another desktop environment! Sarcasm aside, it does look pretty good. But between indistinguishable window title bars and yet another settings app (wanna bet it will miss some config so users wil
