Can someone explain to me why python uses try/except so often? I see that promoted as a solution instead of; if 'bar' in input['foo'].keys(): val = input['foo']['bar'] Generally, e…

I find the attitude here from many people interesting. When I look at a bunch of rust communities, like the rust reddit or the rust discord, they are all cheering about this. But t…

Eh, I think it varies. All of the FAANG are such a huge gap of eachother. About 6 years ago, Netflix and Google offered me far and away the most. Facebook Was Closer to them but st…

This is the big reason I still use Go for a few of my projects. I would prefer to use Rust but the lack or an SDK has me waiting.

Because a bunch of people don't understand how the market work. like all these people who think they're buying GME stock is going to save GameStop, cuz they somehow think that Game…

And? Thats not because "AWS" was like "OMG so smart", AWS is already well aware of this issue but lays the blame on "Shared Responsibility" and are likely annoyed that Salesforce, …

Not to sound like a jerk but why do you think this would be some "OMG" response from AWS? This is not some sort of "hacking", this is a tool that is being used to detect whether yo…

Not sure how I feel about my medical information being handled by PHP...

How is this any different from PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox services? Not only do they get a cut of all of that revenue from those services and DLC, but the companies have to ev…

What's the big deal if it's ring, or me with a bunch of chinese-made POE cameras and blue iris as a local server? shouldn't people have the right to set up surveillance on their ow…

Huge difference... Chinese company wouldn't fire them, it would give all of that data to a whole bunch of people in the government.

Modern days slavery is still slavery... Blood diamond harvesting, US prisoners used as unpaid work force, sex workers, sweat shops in foreign countries. Amazon work conditions suck…

I wonder if that mentality with change if/when AWS splits from AMZN.

Don't need to work at Kindle to know that publishers demand the drm, not a require by Amazon itself.

And lose all the emails and Google docs associated

I doubt anyone will see my comment since I am a few hours late. BUT, I want to say, despite what bloomberg AND apple say, here is why I think Bloomberg failed on this report, and d…

Isn't this an opt in feature? I understand free reign police surveillance is bad, but if a customer opts in, I don't see the issue?

This is a bit over my head. How does this apply to Google but not Apple? Don't they do the exact same thing? One of the arguments I saw was Google pushed its own market over others…

I've worked for a few small businesses that used suse as an alternative to RHEL. I've never worked for a large company that has. I also know a few individuals who use it for person…

None, because as stated, even after this current facebook backlash, usage of Facebook is still high... https://www.androidheadlines.com/2018/05/facebook-usage-actu...
