The truth of tech in silicon valley today is that you could build 90% of what people are doing now with 10% of the tech stack they're using.

@dollarsanddata Perhaps an analysis of say borrowing 10-50% of my portfolio over the last 50 years against the S&P500 at an interest rate X% over the fed funds rate? I've had 0-25% margin at M1 Finance at +2% on a basket of ETFs over the past several years and it feels like winning...

@dollarsanddata Nice post, but I'm not sure levered funds are the right thing to do an analysis of given they're options under the hood and experience time decay...

@alexandrabotez @itsandreabotez The Germans right?

@rauchg What about "python3 -m venv foo; source foo/bin/activate; pip install requests" doesn't work for you?

@devagrawal09 How does /usr/bin/curl get broken?

@mitsuhiko Is this regarding recursive dependency discovery and freezing of requirements? I haven't looked at it, but it seems to me pip-tools has to download the packages to get all the necessary metadata? This is not available via PyPI api?

@RonFilipkowski Primary evidence for needing more mental health resources in this country.

@Soul0Engineer It was like the only laugh I got in Oppenheimer when near the end I saw his character playing the bongo drums. He had a scant few lines in the movie - I'd guess his general demeanor didn't really match the tone of the movie well.

@RpsAgainstTrump What is the fucking point of being commander in chief if you can't even fucking wear what fucking shoes you fucking want?

Fuck Fox "News"

@wmspringer @dvassallo ... upkeep, mortgage interest, and property taxes which are assessed on the value of the property, not how much equity you have in it...

[mattbillenstein @mattbillenstein]

@wmspringer @dvassallo Outside of recent times, housing returns aren't that good though - I think the long-term real return on housing is something like 2% per year, and that comes with a lot of extra expenses...

@automaticnba The talking heads know nothing - they're just filling time.

@ThePrimeagen Successfully used msgpack in a few projects - was always wondering if capt'n proto was something...

@mcuban @Twitter I think it's just sorta plain to see that people don't want unfettered lies on these platforms. What Elon calls "free speech."

@raymondh PYTHONPATH - I usually build this setting into some source'd script in the larger system that also activates a virtualenv...

@MarnerJoshua @tdhopper 2 -> 3 was a long long time ago now.

I think they are fixing the C-api a lot of these libs are using to prevent this type of breakage in the future - it will take some time for the libs to adapt, but end users are not affected the way they were in 2 -> 3.
