Yes! I was both surprised and confused when I saw this. Unless I'm missing something, it means that every application implementing WebSockets has to reinvent the wheel, creating their client-side ping/pong handler using Data Fram

I'm happy with the conclusion you have reached, but boy is your first paragraph terrifying. It seems that you're conflating justice and accountability with revenge.

by wojcikstefan 5y ago
Yes, it's still terrible. However, it's better than death (though I can imagine somebody arguing that "they'd rather die than rot in prison").

I disagree. I’ve been using Firefox as my primary browser for at least 3 years now and still, whenever I have to fire up Chrome for some reason, my first impression is “ahh, this is sadly still so much smoother.”

If I'm reading this right, the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 can be found in the upper respiratory tract for a very long time (even 83 days in the extreme case), but the live virus (capable of infecting others) was not discovered by any study be

This flips the typical narrative of "Chinese companies copy our products and their government lets them" on its head. I understand why this is a valid business move, but I think that the sense of moral superiority over China that

I think it's still a respectable sacrifice. a) There's often an emotional toll to looking for a new position, b) even if the job search only takes a month, that's 250/12 = $20k of a financial hit, which is not a trivial

I like to think in the framework of "you're never really solving any problem, you're just replacing a bad problem with a slightly less bad problem". My speculation is that Impossible Pork (or any other such product) wo

Yep, TaskTiger also uses Lua quite extensively ([0]) to ensure atomicity when moving tasks between various stages of processing (queued, active, scheduled, errored). [0] https://github.com/closeio/tasktiger/blob&#x

At a glance, https://github.com/lilspikey/django-background-task indeed seems like a good and easy way to get started. You can later switch to something more specialized once you hit the right scale or when you need mo

It was definitely fun to work on it :) That said, I think we've also seen quite a big positive ROI as well. It is true that we've spent quite some time working on TaskTiger where we could've used an off-the-shelf task queue s

You seem to make a lot of assumptions about people who do and do not visit/participate on HN. Is it based on a feeling or is there some data available on that topic?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Having read up on it, it indeed seems that people's sensitivity to tea vs coffee varies wildly. I just happen to be a person who's more sensitive to coffee (the 2nd cup of the day could result

If you feel upset/unhappy (even mildly) any day you can't have your 2 cokes, that's a dependency.

This is the trap many people (including myself, for years) fall into... You develop dependency on coffee and then you claim it is what makes you focused and productive. But if you never had a cup of coffee in your life (or if you stop an
