Companies and investors prefer SaaS because it solves their requirements, including: cheap support with no legacy installations, and the ability to move the product in new directions very quickly. This often doesn't overlap with what a

There is overlap, but this isn't the same as Requests-HTML. It is nice that this library has been developed further over the years.

It was easier for me to setup and maintain multiple virtualenvs. It automatically checks for security vulnerabilities. The docs at http://pipenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ are worth a read. It might be a bit more o

I think you are trying to make some good points, but your language could have been clearer. If I'm understanding correctly you mean: 1. Treat Computer Science (CS) as a specific field, and don't dilute the curriculum with related

Part of it is about changing the incentives and how people are "paid" for their work in large organizations. What drives performance for individuals or groups within an organization, isn't necessarily going to ensure that the

I'm not sure I buy that reason, unless the customization cost extends to the equipment and process for building out the interior. Surely this cost would be identified and then the options available reduced? But much harder, if your nee

I think there is a greater chance that I would freeze up in this situation than I would on the job with a new problem, or an executive breathing down my neck. I don't think I'd react that way consistently, but I know it's fur

Non-citizens effectively have zero rights. Your rights increase as you go through different visa types and get to citizens. The appearance of actions like these can make you appear deceptive, or uncooperative at the very least. CBP can easi

My Dad had one too, but I don't remember the date. It was probably one of the first in Northern Ireland at that time based on later discussions with him. I always gravitate to my Amiga when I visit home, but we still have the M24 knock

It seems like a company can only make one successful move at a time (in what I find a very ugly) industry. At the lower end Boeing struggles with the 737 being too large for a lot of markets. There Embraer, Bombardier (now part of Airbus),

How do you identify the inflection point and then execute when it hits? There are conservative choices that would scale all the way through, but many startups would avoid them due to the hit on "velocity" (which is itself a very f

This confirms that the root problem is distribution. Even when you have an "evergreen" platform like Chrome, you can hobble it by requiring deployment through a central IT team. This also opens up attack vectors against the organi

Do you have a hobby that's orthogonal to your tech career? I try to go to photowalks and photo meetups as much as I can. I end up meeting a more diverse set of people and because I'm a "techie" they'll often open up

At least for me, using Hyper-V is problematic because I can't also run VMware Workstation at the same time. I have to boot into different configurations to run them side-by-side. My macOS experience is that running both on your machine

I guess it depends on the app. Google's own apps on iOS don't strike me as feeling very native. I would think they'll get closer to nailing the Android behaviour. In a way these toolkits fill a space like Electron on the desk
