Survivorship bias?
fctorial··on Everyone is still terrible at creating software at scale
This isn't a software specific problem. 90% of work in every business is inefficient.

The latter is called industry experience.
fctorial··on Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
You'd be surprised how well a nixos system works. Every other distro looks like a meme in comparison, for development work at least.

The problem "containers" solve does not exist in nix land.

If all you've got is a hammer...

Edit: removed "clouds"

fctorial··on Perfect Motherfucking Website
The problem is that people do build sites that look like the first website:

fctorial··on Perfect Motherfucking Website
I beg to differ. The first website looks horrible on widescreen displays. A lot of old websites follow the style of first website and their readability could be improved 10 times by adding 10 lines of CSS.

Neat.
fctorial··on How to make a Python package in 2021
> This approach ends up with multiple, potentially-incompatible versions of the same package in a project.

If data generated by one version of a library is being consumed by another version, that's a bug in the code that moves data between them.

fctorial··on How to make a Python package in 2021
For all the hate nodejs gets, it solved the software packaging problem. That is the sole reason npm ecosystem is so big.

I have to say that it probably isn't a fare comparison because python is much older than nodejs. Python package management might very well have been state of the art in 1995.

fctorial··on Time to regulate AI that interprets human emotions?
That means the recommendation system isn't a neural net trained on the buying habits of users. It's a simple logistics system that recommends items similar to the ones you've bought.

They aren't tied to the nucleus of the atom in any way. It's just that they were discovered in phenomena involving atom nucleus.

Shameless plug:

That's physically impossible, unless you're performing some assembly line task like creating a frontend prototype from a marvelapp mock (tons of html, css, js).

Can you do creative work for 10 hours in a stretch, every day.

This needs explanation
