In earlier life, I authored this exact product (including distributed deploy) for a large investment bank and a fintech startup :)

This is immensely valuable to a lot of Python devs, especially in finance/quant community. Great work!

Edit: The reason why this is so impactful is b/c most users have no idea how to build a react app (along with the circus of build/deploy train one typically entails). They just want a quick-and-dirty UI for their Python model they developed in Jupyter or similar. If the model has legs, a separate FE dev would build a fancier front end later.

It is quite plausible that Russia would try to take down parts of Ukraine internet given everything going on.

Alternatively, could simply be someone fat-fingering things, given the insane numbers of blocks that RosKomNadzon has been putting in today (Facebook, Twitter, etc)

This reads like a machine that has DEP enabled and getting locked remotely ;)

On a more serious note, I ran macs on multiple occasions without an AppleID - it presents maybe one nag a month, usually when you accidentally open “Messages”.

Microsoft, sadly, has also been increasingly more annoying with pushing online accounts on people’s machines lately.

Who needs SWATing when you can send a CP pic (either real or with hash collision as per the thread few days ago) from a virtual overseas number/service and get FBI van to show up as well?

What about injecting code into a public website to download same pic into local browser cache without user’s knowledge?

The simplicity of the attack vectors here that would trigger the “manual” investigation is just dumbfounding and ripe for abuse/misuse.

The original is a delight to read. Sadly, I can't help but wonder how many would be "triggered" by the answers today.

How do we, as a society, start accepting rational self-criticism again?

Apple watch gives a moisture warning if the speaker port has water inside. Happens often after swimming or running in rain.

I took an iPhone X into a 3 foot deep swimming pool to take an underwater selfie (don’t ask, not the proudest moment) and it promptly died - apparently if you drop the phone, the water tight seal has a tendency to fail “silently”. Caveat Emptor :)

Thankfully, AppleCare was in effect and it got replaced for a small deductible.

Great to see gadgets standing up to being used as opposed to needing to be cradled and soothed all the time!

Speaking about at least NYC, the nightclub prices have gone just a little bit too nuts right before Covid - think $2k for a table for 4 with a single bottle of ($30 dollar) vodka. $25 mix drinks were a norm.

Combined with lack of innovative artists and ever-increasing homogeneity of style (do I sound like a grumpy old man yet?), clubs seemed to have been racing towards a peak. Smaller venues were suddenly cooler, cheaper, and more interesting.

That’s exactly right, but doing so makes the process much more illiquid.

Who would control the listing of a company’s shares? A startup can choose to simply not make itself available. Similarly, most employees overlook things like right of first refusal that their parent cos have over their shares.

This is an awesome development, if it can also be used to push for more standard, employee-friendly shareholder agreement terms.

The laserlights, like ones marketed by BMW, are not shining the laser outward into the world - they use them to warm up phosphor which in turn produces “regular” light. In a sense, it’s somewhat akin to an old school incandescent bulb, but using much less energy. In US, laserlights are reduced power due to regulations

Arrangements like this are much harder in US because 1) by default there is no health insurance if you’re a contractor, and obtaining your own is incredibly expensive and 2) there are also pretty complex tax implications of being a contractor; there are many other factors as well.

It also puts a candidate at a disadvantage, because looking for a job is heavily one-sided burden.

On a personal level, as both (occasionally) a candidate and a senior hiring manager, I always wonder about white boarding - i believe it works when the interviewer is looking for your thought process, and not code specifically. For example, something as simple as saying “I don’t expect this code to compile” at beginning of interview immediately puts candidate at ease and let’s you understand their logic and not the ability to recall specific function signatures on the fly.
