Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn’t know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.

I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect “copy” to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.

While it would be ideal to have all datetime fields in databases and other data stores be time zone aware, that is certainly not the case. Also, SQLite (and probably others) do not have great support for time zones and it’s recommended to store datetimes as UTC (typically unix timestamps).

Deprecating utcnow was a good idea, but they should have replaced it with naive_utcnow. Oh well.

I’ve turned off the bot for now.

Just because you can get part of your education remotely or through self-learning didn’t mean “anything can be learned online”.

And if you were hiring a math tutor for your kid, would you prefer a self-proclaimed expert from watching YouTube videos or would you want someone who got a degree from a credentialed university? And even if you don’t care, why are you surprised that others would be skeptical of the YouTube expert?

Remote learning can be fine for some things, and self learning through informal channels are also fine, but it’s not a full on replacement for formal education in all cases.

No sorry, that’s just fundamentally false. You can’t just learn titration techniques from watching a video. You can’t learn phlebotomy without an instructor watching you do it to a patient. Hell, you aren’t learning how to drive a car from playing a video game.

And I’m not sure where you are pulling the “if you are that powerful” from. You really have an ax to grind don’t you.

Ah yes, I’m sure the formal training received by doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, and engineers is just an over-hyped “education” that can all be replaced by online MOOCs.

There are real problems with education, especially with the costs, but “anything can be learned online” is the worst take I’ve heard in a long while.

The first way to use it is with any type annotation: you just use it for documentation.

# int annotation
def add_1_to_number(x: int) -> int:
    return x + 1

# callable annotation
def printer(x: int, func: Callable[[int], int]) -> None:
    results = func(x)
    print(f"Your results: {results}")

These type annotations can help document and make editors parse your code to make suggestions/auto-complete work better.

The second way to use it is by creating a callable. A callable is an abstract base class that requires you to implement the __call__ method. Your new callable can be called like any function.

class Greeter(Callable):

    def __init__(self, greeting: str):
        self.greeting = greeting

    def __call__(self, name: str):
        print(f"{self.greeting}, {name}")


say_hello = Greeter("Hello") # say_hello looks like a function
say_hello("jim")  # Hello, jim

This and the last episode were kind of weak, to be honest. I think both of them could have been combined. The pacing was a bit too slow compared to the rest of the season.

I feel the opposite. We should have mandatory voting for all federal general elections. Treat it like jury duty or taxes - voting is a civic duty. You should be compelled to cast a ballot even if you leave it blank because you have no preference.

Of course, this can only workwith automatic voter registration and 100% mail-in ballots.

Hah that last page was great. Loved how easy they gave up helping the baka couple.

Haha what a lovely chapter. Kind of fluff, but out of nowhere. I wonder what’s going to happen at graduation? Will the series end?

I’m shocked.

Yep, this is the convention. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to enforce it. Encouraging good git commit messages is probably the bottom of the things I can coach. I’d be happy if commits were properly squashed/rebased and that we all followed the same PR merge strategy.

Fairly substantial price increase. I will admit a major draw of this small truck was the affordability. I think some trims are up as much as $2k. Wonder what kind of effect this will have on demand and the order banks.

I mean, these trucks were on back order for a long time, which suggests that demand was way higher than supply. Yes, affordability was a major draw, but I’m not at all surprised at the price hikes here.

I’m hoping other manufacturers see this and come out with their own compact trucks. There are rumors Toyota is working on one, for instance.

I think if there were a bunch of certificates, especially ones I haven’t heard of or a lot of low-level ones, I would suspect that you were using test dumps and trying to pad your resume.

I think if you had a cloud certificate and a respectable linux certificate, that would suffice as “enough”. Any lab-based certificate is also more valuable than just a paper one.

In my opinion, no it’s not worth it. A CCNA and the related family of Cisco certifications really trains you to be a network engineer or work in ops in general. The certificate is not very valuable for a dev or devops role in general. The material itself goes over topics that are less valuable like spanning tree protocol. And it doesn’t much if anything beyond layer 4. DNS, load balancing, web protocols (HTTP, etc) are all more valuable topics to learn.

Now, the material that you’re learning isn’t wasteful, necessarily, but devops positions are not generally configuring routers and switches day-to-day, so I don’t view this as something valuable for software engineers even in devops roles.

Some of the topics that I find valuable - general TCP/IP in general and some of the routing protocols (namely BGP is the big one) - but the other stuff just requires passing knowledge that it exists and not much else. I would pick up a networking book and go over the topics in there instead of configuring switches and vlans.

Rocky Linux have said that they can rebuild using publicly available sources in UBI containers and cloud images.

Though reading the article, I don’t know if SUSE is simply rebuilding or forking. In any case, it’s cool to see SUSE committed to open source principles.

This doesn’t help for Gmail. I moved to a different part of the country and I have a spam email account that isn’t connected to a phone or second email. Even with the right password, it wouldn’t let me log in because I was trying to sign in from a different location and no secondary way to authenticate.

Luckily it was a spam email so it was just annoying to recreate some accounts I used for that email, but yeah ve warned.

I think Tumblr’s brand just got ruined. They were known for their nsfw material and now they don’t know what else to do with their lack of users.
