I am also not sure how long it lasts but I fail to see why it will matter whether you got the immunity from a vaccine or the normal way. And let's say everybody get vaccine in 2 weeks period of time, if the immunity doesn't last a

Is this the same BS scare like "Tiktok is collecting you clipboard data on iOS" and then later it turns out a lot of high profile apps are actually doing it? And even more important, there are plenty of analytics, crash report, tr

Why would we need that? I think a lot of people will get immunity the natural way, even now a lot of people are having covid w/o any symptoms at all, and they will have immunity.

With everything slowly( or sometimes rapidly) moving into containers (docker, systemd portable services, flatpak, snaps) I think the concept of system library will probably become irrelevant at some point not that far into the future.

Yep, that's me. Features are simply something that happens as a byproduct of a refactor.

It kind of works for my team, but only because nobody touches it anymore. What's so bad about it? Well it's bad at being package manager for starter. Here is a quick question. How do you install packages with pipenv with the versi

Are there any advantages with pupenv at all? Pipenv definitely takes the crown in my list of Package managers that are plain stupid.

Yet, in the same survey it is on par with Typescript. Also for me always the question is loved by who. Of course junior/beginner level people will prefer simplistic language like Python, because that's the main target audience for

Did take a look at least one example? It's python code embedded in script tag. I don't see any byte code.

There are people who think images and JS are far too much for the Web (you can often read comments like that on HN) and want pure text only Web. Should we learn from them too? I don't mean to put shit on any body's work. I am just

Indeed, pip feels like a joke after using npm. Not that npm doesn't have flaws, but it gets much more things right.

> - it can be the same language as the backend This is already the case for Javascript :) Also you get much bigger collection of ready to use opensource libraries, and better performance.

So now we can write web apps in one of most inappropriate languages for frontend development. White space significant, good luck minifying it. No anonymous functions, yes you need to have name for that callback, even though it's simply

But is it so really? Last year there were articles about how Facebook sdk collects data from each app that integrates it, even before you login with Facebook. To me it still looks like a much wider data collection than what a single app can

The thought police strikes again. It's not anymore about simply censoring unwanted content, punishing the users for engaging with will be way more effective in the long run.

There is no way that software will soon reduce the need to engineers. One way to look at it is AWS for example. It removed the need for hardware and sysadmin skills. But the cost of this is that now instead of sysadmins you need devops and

Well, not a belief more like a practicaly oriented mindset :) In any modern web application you most probably will end up using Javascript for the frontend part, and you have plenty of choice for the backend, which actually includes some re
