Me too - it's a really insightful statement. I'd never thought about it before, but in social settings, the actual film watched is frequently an afterthought; it is secondary to the plan of 'going to the cinema'. Plans c

While I take your point, the very act of uploading the video is akin to "going down to the library with a copy of the tape for anyone to rent" in this analogy, which does mitigate the degree of upset to an extent.

It's worth noting that a lot of major car manufacturers have raised concerns about this: - Nissan cited Brexit as a reason for not building one of its latest models in England - Jaguar/Land Rover is cutting jobs citing 'geopo

I'd agree with this. I don't recall backlash against Apple products to the extent I've seen in places like this over the last two years, ever. I don't think anyone can argue against the notion that the quality of hardwar

I think it's handy for people who have never used a framework before to have all the tooling set up and available immediately. If I've never really worked on a JS project before, it's perverse to wade through docs of a bunch

I don't know that that's necessarily a fair characterisation. I've never seen any Coq syntax before a moment ago but it doesn't look wildly dissimilar to Haskell or Idris.

I try to wean myself off Google search every few months but I've never managed to stick. What do you like for an alternative? I'm probably due another attempt.

This happened to me just this week! I was trying to find a specific Onion article, so I searched various permutations, many of them including "the onion" which wasn't respected in the result output. I was absolutely furious t

Twitter has one I learned recently, but it's pretty enfeebled. It's as far as I can tell, exact matches only, which sounds fine perhaps in the design phase, but was deeply frustrating in practice. There's a new political cand

I've a similar problem on Twitter. I don't follow anyone for their political views, so I typically unfollow as soon as I read some but it's far from an optimal solution. I resisted setting an account up for years on Reddit, b

I appear to have independently parroted your comment! I do apologise. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way though!

While I think this is a little extreme, I understand fully the sentiment behind it. It's lamentable considering how simple the site is but there exist currently, no good alternatives! I suppose we can attribute that at least partly to

It'll be interesting to see if there's an upswing in PyPy usage over the next few months, for the explicit reason that they're not slated to drop 2.7 compatibility. I would imagine a noticeable percentage of 2.7 codebases wit

I'm currently enjoying Goaccess [0]. It's command-line based, works on my nginx logs and tells me exactly the things I want to know. Might not be for everyone but I thought I'd share in case someone else found it useful. I wh

One oft-overlooked externality is the time taken to migrate. If I maintained a Python 2 codebase and can use Pypy as a drop in replacement after 2020, I'd certainly be tempted to do so.

by 0xADEADBEE 8y ago
It's worth noting that only the reference implementation (cPython) is slated for deprecation. To my knowledge, Pypy and others have no such plan.

I would dearly love to use Clojure more professionally but the problem in every country I've worked has always been the talent pool; I struggle to hire because Clojure devs are comparatively much harder to find. Clojure is a wonderful

I ditched NoScript when I realised that it wasn't blocking inline JS. I landed on uBlock with Advanced Mode, which allows quick toggling of inline, 1st-3rd party and a few other things. uMatrix deserves an honourable mention also; it&#

I assume people with much more data than me have ran the numbers and concluded this is a good move, but with the rise in people using ad-blockers [0], this seems myopic from the outside. The GDPR situation and this week's 'fine&#x

Package management is a hard problem, but we know that good and adequate package managers do exist. I'm not sure why more effort hasn't been expended by the Python community, particularly since it's often the first thing a ne

This is fascinating - thank you so much for replying. I used to have input speed back when we had physical buttons on phones but with the advent of touch-screens, that has deteriorated for me. I hadn't considered how useful it would be

I imagine if you coupled that with a stand of some sort, it'd be pretty close to a netbook or something. Thank you so much for the insight!

I'm struggling to work out why anyone would want to do this. Leaving aside the other concerns, I personally find input via touchscreen pretty painful and can't imagine being able to program at any real speed. It's entirely po

I've been blocking JS for the last 6 months or so and I've found it to be a greatly improved experience overall. I can enable at the click of a button JS for a website that fails to load properly but the majority of sites I view a

An interesting point - I hadn't at all considered the trend of slowly growing an engineering team. I'd bet you're on the money with this.

Thanks for the insight. I've experienced British, Australian and New Zealand contract markets and contracting is far and away the only way to get even close to Bay Area salary levels so I'll be watching this trend closely. I reall

This is fascinating. What do you think possible causes for that might be? Is this an America/Bay Area thing or do you suspect it to be more widespread? Would be interested in other people's take on this also.

Not directly comparable of course because it's WiFi only, but my iPad reports 3% over the last 10 days (much of which would have been Wireguard being open and exporting logs when I was debugging whilst setting it up) and 1% over the la
