Still Apple keeps shooting their foot with their software. I'd love to see an update to iOS and Mac OS that doesn't feel sluggish. They nailed hardware, software is sorely lacking.

I'm happy that exists as an alternative for those who care about this.

I (meat-eater) am done with leather alternatives for now. A while back, I bought the official leather-alternative case for my everyday-carry Roav sunglasses, but it didn't last me very long. Frustrated with that, I ordered a custom made case with real leather, that cost me double the price, but it has been aging really nicely.

For me, paying extra for good leather, that will last longer and is byproduct of meat I already eat, seems to be the best decision in terms of sustainability. Hopefully technology will improve so that we have more options in the future.

That's based on relevance.

Same goes for: Portuguese -> Brazil flag; Spanish -> Mexico flag; German -> Austria flag; Italian -> Switzerland flag

;)

Finally! The perfect language for my spaghetti code!

There's a bit of misunderstanding in your statement. Most of the money made by companies in payments systems comes from transaction fees, not from interest. When companies offer you better rewards, that's them competing to have you use their credit card rather than the competition's.

Most people I interact with in the US actually use SMS or iMessage, that's why I have hold this view. It might be a bit dated though.

They already have Facebook Pay on messenger, and WhatsApp is mostly unheard of. Maybe it doesn't make sense to launch it in the USA.

WhatsApp is however overwhelmingly used in Brazil, and highly lacking good Venmo-like apps. I did not like the Brazilian Fed getting in the way with regulations before it even launched. Sends the wrong message to foreign investors considering Brazil.

Just to make sure, my "ninja trick" was meant in an ironic manner. In my opinion, it sucks JavaScript has two equality operators, and it's inexcusable for it to have two different null types. That fact that you can use the forer to check for the latter with less code doesn't make either okay in any sense.

Mathematics require the exact type of abstract thinking machines suck at. Machines can execute things fast, learn things fast (provided we have well stablished rules), but than can't (at our current moment in time) come up with useful abstractions to help solve new problems.

So I think it's going to stay relevant.

As the one who implemented Airflow at my company, I understand how overwhelming it can be, with the DAGs, Operators, Hooks and other terminologies.

This looks like a good enough mid-term alternative. However, I have a few questions (which I couldn't find easily in the homepage, sorry if I skipped something):

- Do you have a way of persisting connection information? I saw an example of how to create a connection, but it isn't clear if the piece of code has to be loaded every time you execute the ETL

- How easy it is to implement new computation engines?

- Plans of creating a command line to make it easier to execute operations?

`->` is a bad practice? I like to use it at the end of a long `%>%` pipe. Reading the whole thing feels a lot more natural.

I actually find R to have the elegant parts of List, with a more traditional language syntax. I frankly like a lot.

Pipenv solved the most annoying problem Python had before: inconvenient version isolation. Dependencies were installed globally by default, and virtualenv was too cumbersome to use easily. Pipenv solves all of those headaches.
