Im sure you get ideas that are below your threshold for engagement... most people do until someone makes them aware and they have an “aha” moment..

Pick a topic, product, food, restaurant, etc. at random and think of (then write down) at least one way to improve it (even if subjective).

Now for each propose at least one method of doing it. If you don’t know how, then take a minute to google the processes that lead up to the improvement... slowly you internalize that knowledge and it becomes second nature.

It’s an exercise, but after a week or two you will come to do it naturally. Just make sure you tell people your ideas if your not going to use them.

I’ve found that when you “release” an idea, better ones follow.

Why am I not surprised that super-liberal Slate says my right to privacy should be overlooked because some idiot with an iphone wants to record every conversation?

Pervasiveness-of-technology should not ever be a reason to obviate the rights of the individual.

Most likely, one of your competitors negotiated a deal where you were deplatformed as a condition. $57M over 13/14 years, or $100M right now... easy choice for Facebook.

Why didn’t he use a binary protocol to convey his disdain for text protocols? Simply because nobody would understand it, which is the entire idea behind text protocols... and language.

Tor does this, fwiw. https://www.torproject.org/

To clarify, you could run Tor on your existing vpn.

That depends on your personal health. 50% deadlier to someone with existing issues that make the more likely to have a bad outcome (death) is worse than 50% more transmissible. The former cannot be managed, but the latter can by isolation or other means.

Not to say 50% more transmissible isn’t also bad, but not the worst, for them at least.

while i agree this is overly complex given the simplicity of virtualenvs, there is something “pythonic” about encapsulating the environment in a container.

I would suggest using alpine containers with python for a ~40mB container, versus the ~900MB container created here to run a server.

For me, python containers are only used when I want to bundle things into services on swarm, and I use venvs for local development.

imho, front end first, then back-end, to be a well-rounded developer. Backend is so deep and so consuming, that knowing how what you do in UX will affect users on the front end is a valuable skill.

Tesla’s not worried... The apple car will cost $300k, only take you to “approved” or licensed destinations, and be replaced in 6 months with newer, “better” model with cooler features.

I heard a rumor that tires are extra.

lol j/k
