I've mostly seen the opposite - pandas and jupyter notebooks shipped directly to production because the data scientists and AI guys didn't know how to do anything but python. As a result, the solutions were not performant and ofte

So wait, if I donate $1000 to a creator via iOS app, Apple takes $300? That can't be right, can it? Seems like literally robbery.

If you read almost any literature taking place the first half of the 20th century, you'll see that a lot of industries were highly abusive of workers, not just radium industry. I'm sure it's even worse pre-20th century. For e

I'm not confident a "cheap server" (like a $5/mo DO droplet) would be able to withstand being on the front page of HN, but I am pretty confident a GH pages page could withstand being on the front page of HN.

Maybe I just have bad luck, but most of the libraries I've tried that are "crazy to look at" seem good in theory but are janky in practice. For example, openapi-fetch ( https://github.com/openapi-ts/openap

To be clear, I do like the type-checking benefits of TypeScript, but it requires some discipline to keep it simple. Get one unchecked TS astronaut on the team and the TypeScript can get complex and esoteric very quickly.

Side note, but IMO Typescript is too complicated. They should have stuck to a reasonably simple type system but now I see projects with incomprehensible and frankly unmaintainable typescript consisting of extremely complex generics, type co

Because it's hard to hire web devs that don't use React. If you want something simpler than React, then it's better to just hire a generalist programmer who hasn't drunk the JS ecosystem kool aid and will use vanilla.
