Yes, they deprecated the CRS field and the current state of geojson handling libraries is pretty messy as a result since geojson does not have versioning! If you have old geojson i…

Not everywhere that python is run has access to pip. Sshing into some locked down remote machine and needing to debug some script is a use case that comes to mind.

Isn’t the browser inspector more than sufficient? You get the interactive object inspector in the console, live expressions, log points etc. For node you it’s possible to hook it u…

Something interesting I realized about their choice of name - S7. 1. It's a combination of S3 and S4 obviously. 2. It's also linked to another OOP system called R6. Interesting how…

I actually think this "multi-tiered" system of OOP is quite cool, when compared to languages that stick OOP in your face upfront. 1. Basic users don't even know it's there, they're…

Yes, though the languages do not support it explicitly you can simulate lazy evaluation by wrapping all your arguments in closures. This way they won't be evaluated until called wi…

I too am a Tidyverse shill. Hadley Wickham truly did an amazing job designing the whole ecosystem and API. I personally haven't encountered another API that has given me the same f…

I'm in a similar boat. I have to use a 3rd party component library written in web components for our react app (esri/calcite-components) and it's a huge pain because * You can't ov…

Seconding NewPipe. Though recently it's been unable to load comments and the error banner keeps popping up as a result (no comments may actually be a plus?) I still use the regular…

Inline styles don't work with a strict CSP. Have you ever had to work with such a restriction?

What syntax of nim's is the network: ... Used to declaratively construct the neural networks? Is it a macro? Looks really neat!

+1 for mobX. Dead straightforward, does one thing and does it well. Only worry is that it increasingly feels like an outsider in React. I'm working on an app that uses React, web c…

> They will eventually discover that they’re wrong, and we will have yet further examples of evolution’s devious paths. In my terminology, their dogged search for skyhooks will unc…

As a relative outsider to the observability space, I have always wondered this: Is observability/telemetry only about engineering-related issues (performance, downtimes, bottleneck…

> These InteractionHandlers are just objects satisfying a specific TypeScript interface. They’re not coupled to React or hooks or anything like that, which feels quite freeing, hon…

I've heard before that it's meant to be re-TRIE-val and therefore is pronounced "tree"

Dad has a Mazda. Can vouch for this 100%. It's very clear to me when I drive it that their car interfaces are very deliberate and properly designed. That rolling knob thing which c…

Slightly off topic, but I find the author's attempt to use an iterative method (TDD) to derive a recursive algorithm (quicksort) somewhat comical

The next course of action would be to split your distance calculation into multiple steps - a few dimensions at a time. Then we need to decide on an order to these comparisons - wh…

Not exactly. These tree models are ensemble methods, meaning they comprise several trees. Each individual tree may be small, but it is difficult to pinpoint explanations when that …

I actually from a less technical person's perspective, "cute" error messages humanize errors, showing them that there was indeed someone who made that page they are currently on an…

What in your opinion doesn't work with UG testing?

I disagree in general with your second point. Yeah, sure, this could make sense in some situations, but many tools and products exist for the sole reason that they offer a superior…

I ended up in this current position because I was first interested in their field of work (geospatial work), and secondly skilled in programming. Even if I weren't a programmer I w…

Counter-anecdote: I'm working at a non-tech company (we build the in-house technical software that everyone else in the company uses) and the experience has been great. We deliver …
