"Class act" is doing a lot of lifting there

You say "exemplar", as if the 10 year long 2 to 3 upgrade which almost killed the language didn't happen... if it wasn't for the massive userbase of data scientists and academics w…

Great tool and great choice of video, it keeps the reactionaries away from your project

The legacy app is absolutely NOT fast if you have a significant amount of notes. Still worth using because the current app simply lacks the functionality (they "solved" the costant…

Unnecessarily pedantic, yes. "Smartphones" are only "smart" compared to what came before. Which to the youth is irrelevant, because before their day. To them a phone and a smartpho…

There has ALWAYS gotta be a pedant, isn't there... The article is obviously about smartphones and social media

This would have been a good discussion 10 years ago, but these days it's pydantic first, hardly ever use dataclass

> Things like ... are probably not decided on and implemented by the engineering team but are coming down as a requirement from the top Yeah, welcome to the real world. We _all_ ha…

LOL, and who owns WhatsApp /facepalm I don't like the "always on" part of WhatsApp and the like. I like FB because I can go on when I fell like. Who are you to tell me what I shoul…

This is good because it might make people question what they read on FB, but the reality is that (a) the whole digital economy is based on that. FB are no better than Google or App…

This is one of those 'soooo obvious but untrue' statements I use it to keep in touch with far away or unimportant people. Second degree aunts, ex schoolmates, etc. Without FB it's …

How old are you? I am asking because I remember full well the pre-facebook days when people would send around 'funny videos' to groups of friends, with no chance of opting out, get…

Found the grumpy old coder

Yes, sorry cannot find the link, but they are going to get rid of it from what I read. There is no more tightly integrated solution in the pipelines, you'll have to roll out your o…

You are missing the point. OP used "code is punk" as a metaphor for "just do it without getting bogged down by theory". I have changed his metaphor to "code is jazz" to express tha…
