Google's handling of this "change" was disastrous. I also value my timeline data and would hate to lose it. Google's solution was to force me to acknowledge some weird dialog that had minimal information about the impact

Python's reactor pattern, or event loop as you call it, started with the "Twisted" framework or library. And that was first published in 2003. That's a full 6 years before Node.js was released which I assume was the firs

You're really splitting hairs here all to prove some sort of "type checking isn't included with python" property. Even if you're technically right, half the world really doesn't care and most code being churned

I could say the exact same stuff about NodeJs, c++, go, rust, php, etc. All of these are easy to use and debug and "install easily" when you know them and use them regularly, and the opposite if you're new. Doubly-so if you p

This is almost up there with "people shouldn't have kids they can't afford to take care of". The world's appetite for such drastic measures is not anywhere close to being there yet. As evidenced with how barely-able

From the article, they mention this alongside a neat graph: "API calls generally take 8 ms now, not 150 ms." His endpoints went from 150ms (with Mongo) to 8ms after moving to Postgres.

I only wish for people to take a "little bit" of a charitable interpretation of my comments. Lot of time they simply find one little gap, wrong wording, etc and just run with it and dismiss my entire comment. I do it too, sometime

Just building what you want and publishing it doesn't work anymore. Look at the countless projects wilting away because the "community" actively ignores them and the huge volume of content doesn't target those projects a

To follow the analogy, the reason they did it is because the "DEI outrage machine" needs fuel, and this was the next low-hanging fruit. To the machine, women aren't as important as perpetuating itself, so hence we now are sta

For every one of you, there is probably one of me: That loves that feature! Honestly, Microsoft blurring the lines between meetings and calendar invites was great, in my opinion. I was sad the day they took away some of that functionality (

Just because it's not 100% possible right now, doesn't mean we shouldn't work towards it. Your first criticism as an example. "World too urbanized". Again, the solution solves a big chunk of other problems we have.

I disagree. I think we should have more human labor take over farming but on an individual level that's working much much closer to the consumption source. Think having your own farmer and food-producer in your own house or property,

But in a lot of other places, they're far cheaper than the supermarkets. It works the other way sometimes, and I think we need to examine why. My best off-the-cuff theory to it would be some sort of perverse government incentive. The s

Not OP. Sometimes it's good to have a lack of nuance and come with absolute black/white thoughts. At some point, we all internally, draw our own lines in the sand about how we think on a topic (that is hopefully until we encounter

I agree but I'd go a tad further: Why do Ads even work as a monetization strategy? Either we've collectively been convinced that paying for ads is valuable in some way, or that on some level they work at convincing people to spend

SQLAlchemy syntax is ridiculously obvious and straightforward as long as you're not doing anything weird. The takeaway here is that they weren't mature enough to realize they were, in fact, doing something "weird". I.e.

Screw franchises and franchising. That's the kind of business model we need to get rid of, because it's basically a "subsidiary" model that shields the parent company from liability. At the very least it complicates the

It's not a perfect answer, and one can "not participate" in more ways than one. Also, it depends on the individual and what makes sense for them and their family. It's also a case of "picking your poison". So i
