Speaking as someone from Edinburgh where the locals are notoriously jaded (ask someone that has lived in edi for a few years what festival shows they went to this year): It's more …

Well, sure, it's all relative and no system is perfect. Not every mother is perfect, doesn't mean I escort mine around the house at gunpoint whenever she visits.

> Many Europeans support this - they don't understand how government censorship can quickly get out of hand. This argument can be made for government in general, although granted t…

Table buckets are currently quite hard to use for a lot of use cases as they _only_ support primitive types. No nested types. Hopefully this will come at some point. Product looks …

Good point!

Yes _however_ the nodejs benchmark at least is handling each message asynchronously, whereas the go implementation is only handling connections asynchronously. The client fires off…

Data is a bit light on the ground given we haven't had masses of EVs for all that long. But I wouldn't necessarily have this expectation based off of phones and laptops. EVs have r…

Definitely preferable to intersections. A roundabout means there is only one place to look for oncoming cars, rather than potentially 4. Although ideally the crossing on a roundabo…

The preference for 4 way stops in a country that otherwise prioritises traffic flow so much is really jarring. Traffic lights too to some extent. About 5 years ago my wife an I wer…

>You cannot just take one part of that system and expect to magically reap the benefits. Yeah, specifically people only focus on the "repo" bit. Build system, PRs, history browsing…

> It seems to be a necessary evil for a company to grow Yep, the needs of a company change when and if it grows. Early days, a small team "getting shit done" is probably what you w…

100% and one of the great things about k8s is that this diagram applies to essentially any application. Standardisation is awesome.

I'm not convinced you read your own links. 1. Is a report on the need to evaluate how prevalent the practice of recycling food scraps from manufacturing as feed actually is, as app…

I can immediately think of a counter example: corps vs corpse. Literally from the same word origin, wildly different pronunciation.

Interesting. This is a pretty common criticism of unions in the anglosphere as well -- often alongside a note that the problem has been "solved" in Germany via worker codeterminati…

Seconded! Odersky is a great lecturer (and very practical lecturer despite Scalas "academic" reputation) and the course was very well organized. I did the course on the first or se…

I think something has been lost in translation here. At least in the US and UK, responding with "Not really" to a statement usually implies that the statement is completely incorre…

It's both... simultaneously. The "feature set" really is smaller than Java or Kotlin (especially if you count in terms of "keywords as features" and ignore things included for Java…

That's an excellent deadlift if you are doing it for reps. Handy for reference: https://symmetricstrength.com/standards#/90/kg/male/-

Really looking forward to this dropping! Writing complex data out of spark jobs is super easy, but getting it back into strongly-typed-Scala has been a big pain point. The experime…

concurrent.futures isn't really _another_ parallel library... its just the standard libraries higher level interface to both the multiprocessing and threading modules. See the PEP:…

Wow, yeah, this thread: https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3294... I think it is best to avoid these guys.

> you’d measure how many days they’d last at the optimum temperature and match the gelatine formula so it would also last the same amount. Because the gelatin will also respond to …

A curriculum of books to go along with these would be great. The thing with online courses / video series is that they can give you a great introduction to the topic, but it is oft…

Interesting how the various Scala frameworks have been slipping down the charts from round to round -- an effect of changing methodology?
