Much better to just deny it till after the new government is in, then make a nothing-burger out of all the news that is reported "afterwards"? Meanwhile, 50% of your country is disenfranchised for X-years because it was "less

Are we talking about "Voter ID"? If so, isn't that being constantly derailed by the democrats? Just like all the issues with illegals and the border wall, which they don't seem to want to fix and make it impossible.

I don't think people are remotely aware how Good MS tools are atm when it comes to collaboration and integration with their "other" suit of tools. Yes, it's ugly sharepoint under the hood somewhere, but for all intents a

Google, even with all the trillions in additional productivity it has added to the world, has left the world at a net-negative. We can't even quantify it, and every person will tell you a different way in which it has impacted the worl

I'm not responding in the context of layoffs nor have I fired people because of my mistakes luckily. That's a different story, and I was trying to explain to OP my take on it.

It's the grey goo of manager-speak. It rides both sides, but never truly picks one. The other two options: blame employees(someone not you), or take some form of punishment as an individual. I too do it sometimes, and I feel bad each t

That could take months of nervous waiting and who-knows how many wasted hours researching, talking and writing letters. The same reason most people don't return a broken $11 pot, it's cheaper and easier to just adapt and move arou

I've done a few apps as part of my day job. And my best explanation and/or analogy is government regulations. The store requirements, apis and rules are documented up to the upteenth degree in 49 pages spread across many areas, an

The post as it is now sounds really decent and a step in the right direction. Let's not air all the dirty laundry happening here, it looks like Matt is trying to do the "right" thing here. Here is the current iteration of t

I know who he is, what are you going on about? Why don't you give me some examples of why you think he's a bad person?

I find this thread disturbing, and with 0 examples as to why you guys think that about him. Like what are these things he's written and said.

How is this "feature" not a privacy/security issue? Why do I get the sense that the whole push towards single-sign-on, OAuth, etc was just to push for a single, ad-controlled login?

Honestly, looks like someone throwing spaghetti on a wall a billion times and seeing what sticks, then training the throwing arm to somehow minimize something. I get that LLM magic is kinda magic and is doing some cool stuff, but this looks

Python's optional type-hinting is leaps and bounds better than a static typing system (on its own). It's fluid, allows expressibility whilst balancing guard-rails, and is making crazy cool use of "execute-time" or "

Honestly, right now it looks like you are the one derailing the discussion. And when it didn't go your way, you started quoting the "guidelines" as if to smack us over our fingers for misbehaving. This entire sub-thread at ti

Not OP. I switched to DuckDuckGO about 1.5/2 years back, and it was awesome at the time. But it has gradually gotten worse to the point where I @google search pretty much 70% of the time. Now that could be me being in a bit in the hone

Please don't take this personally, or as an attack on you. But having seen DEI first-hand, and the "equally qualified" people it has actively displaced and disenfranchised, I'd have to say that this view avoids the ugly

Oh that may be the "on-paper" goal of DEI, and I'd be all for it if it stayed that way; it sounds very very fair. But it never stays that way, and quotas enter the picture before long.

Have you been on the receiving end of DEI? The same way a minority has been on the receiving end of racism? We can all wax lyrical and paint pretty pictures about the noble goals of DEI. But till we get an equal and fair world, the ugly pic

That is the entire premise of DEI initiatives. It's yet another "an eye for an eye".

Because it's Yet Another Step in the wrong direction, and will be used as justification down the line to get rid of AM/Radio/Analog Radio a bit more or entirely. Keeping it around, or in a car, may be the wrong or inefficient

I went back to look at some of the old code as my memory was hazy. It was tornado's implementation of the run_on_executor method that we used, which is used as a decorator. https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable&#x2F

Have you not seen how they're already starting to redefine various very benign but anti-government groups as "terrorists"? Next thing you know, just being a part of that group becomes 'objective, verifiable information&q

Committing crazy violence and "terrorist"-like incidents is ridiculously easy. I'm still trying to process and figure out why it doesn't happen more often everywhere, all the time. Even if you expand it to include govern

My take is this is 100% someone sticking to a naive worldview because they are smart and logical (and I don't doubt that they are). But the world doesn't work like that. And as much as I hate to admit it, these WPE people are play

I've had plenty of success using run_in_executor in production. You basically just use the decorator, and it mostly just works.

Not OP, but I honestly think that these kinds of devs are just way too opinionated and don't want to accept the 95% valid existing solution. In a healthy ecosystem, people can try and experiment and if something is awesome then peopl

I don't want to "pull this off", nor do I want to expend the time/energy to do so. We're not Microsoft with effectively infinite budgets, nor are we Elasticsearch/Grafana Orgs with metric oodles of developer-ho
