We are born with a ton of synapses as babies and through a process called pruning, many synapses die off, unused branches.

This seems pretty normal to me

I read Console Wars and it was a really insightful look into how Nintendo and Sega came to be and how they operated if you are interested in this sort of thing.

most common way I have seen is edu email address as the first pass, and a photo of a current student ID (this requires a human to check).

Github lets me use my alumni account for the discount (I dont), their idea is if you want to abuse your alumni account you get 2 years free, and they just swallow that cost

furthermore I have never used Go or Ruby, but I could easily read and understand the Go code, I have zero idea what the Runy code is doing, or why they do this [-3, 3] seemingly multi dimensional negative array access

human powered helicopters were an obsession of Leonardo Da Vinci. He spent so long trying to solve this problem and never could figure it out, amd here we are 500 years later, a little closer, but still a far way off

If you arent using the packages that most people use, and decided to roll your own, then it is on you to upgrade. Not seeing the issue here of course your custom niche libraries havent been upgraded if you havent been diligent.

The py2 end of life is supposed to give your manager hard reasons to switch. But if you never use pypi packages and dont interact with the web, you dont need to upgrade, as you don't need to install packages that might be 3 only and you dont have potential for security vulnerabilities.

Looks like a direct competitor to https://sessionstack.io

I am not sure how I feel about these session recorders and probably want to start blocking them from my browser. It is akin to someone recording your every movement inside your house and watching the video to see what issues come up. Oh and you have no idea its happening.

Also wonder about how this data is protected. If videos of how I used Facebook were leaked (messages I started to type but didnt send for instance) it would be a huge violation of my privacy.

In the same token, its like free UX research, you can see where people struggle by watching them use the app. It is like standing over someone's shoulder to see how they are using the product and helps immensely in that realm. I still feel like it should be opt in though.

I just ping my functions every 4 minutes to keep them warm. I am still in the free quota doing that

> Minor revision releases will include deprecation warnings and tips for how to upgrade an API or pattern that will be removed or changed in the future.

16.3 is including dep warnings and tips to upgrade, check.

> We will continue to release codemods for common patterns to make automatic upgrades of your codebase easier.

Probably will be there closer to 17 release.

> Once we’ve reached the end of life for a particular major version, we’ll release a new major version where all deprecated APIs have been remove

Once 16.x end of life is reached, the next major version, 17, will remove the deprecated APIs, check.

They are literally following exactly what they said.

Agreed, I originally did this and the first time I ran into a prod bug because sqlite and Postgres differ in implementation of some more advanced methods I immediately moved off it and never looked back.

A lot of people stick with sqlite in dev because when you start a django project it will default to that.

Even if you dont use Docker, brew install postgresql is just as simple. The commands to setup a user are like 3 lines. 20 mins of doc searching and one time README setup.

not saying your old page couldnt use some work, but the new one is bad.. i had to wait like 4s after page load before the what is this appeared and it was a wall of text I didnt want to read.

when I read this i thought of thunderclap too, wonder how much they are affected

I deal with tonsilloths a lot and my solution is gargling hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, it isnt perfect though

Wow, I wish this existed when I was wprking with Haskell a few years ago. This is a compendium of useful information. I really love how Haskell makes me think and code in an entirely different way. It is fun, and I hope the language continues to grow.

What do you mean by learn chinese? Mandarin? Catonese? Fujianese? There are so many local dialects in China, saying chinese is equivalent to saying speak african, african isnt a language, it is a place with many languages used in it.

Jinja2 or Django template language?

Whenever I watch movies featuring "hackers" I always wonder who writes the code to do the random terminal noise to make it look like they are doing something.

This is really cool and I could see this making it into a movie (esp considering it is free).

11 months into the pregnancy you quit? isnt 9 months the usual gestation period?

my favourite is PAST4 tee-hee

cool. gonna check this out

Facebook is a technology built to facilitate social interaction. When problems arise, Facebook naturally finds technological solutions to solve these problems. Perhaps the underlying cause is the technology. We did manage for many many many years without it.

Dozens of us.. subtle never nudes reference?

Hereis a great talk by Simon Sinek on how these dopamine hits and how technology are affecting the millennial generation

This article seems loosely based on ideas from the Dropbox blogpost on open offices [0]. The connection being the mention of employers offering all kinds of perks and more office space or private space never is one of them, that it could be a useful perk to attract talent.
