Indeed. It's beyond my understanding how one could even consider not providing a public API to the parser, when one develops an interpreter or a compiler. Given all the complexity of such programs, this is trivial. The standard library

Many people use software all the time. Software developers obviously do. That doesn't mean they are magically able to themselves create applications that have a good UI and UX. In fact a lot, possibly most, are really bad at it. The sa

The real problem isn't dynamic vs. static and how it affects tools. The problem is that programming languages are made by language designers, when what we would really need are programming experience designers. We need people that look

I understand that errors in type hints are bugs just like errors in code are. That's the problem. The entire point of type systems is to enforce correctness. They allow you to describe problems on the type level and ensure that the cod

tl;dr type hints are useless because they're hints.

There is no runtime type checker. There isn't even a static type checker.

It's not more robust though. The type hints do absolutely nothing .

No, they aren't. In order to make use of type hints for anything, they need to be correct. If they aren't, anything else you build on top of them will be unreliable and confusing. As long as there is no way to check them, they&#x2

There are a few things in regards to housing that are specific to Berlin like how much low income housing is build etc. but most of it isn't. Renting is and has more or less always been the preferred option in Germany. The reasons that

The baby didn't have to understand the joke, it could have just picked up on unintentional cues. This is something humans and many animals are able to do very early on.

The name script kiddie isn't an accident. The average attacker uses an exploit developed by a more experienced one. You're trying to protect yourself from an imaginary class of attacker that just doesn't exist.

You can't generally re-implement features of a kernel on another platform.

Nonportability isn't a goal, portability though isn't. Portability isn't all that great a goal to begin with. You limit yourself to a lowest common denominator and sometimes you need to make compromises between platforms. Thi

It seems to me that one should be able to detect which features are actually used in a regular expression and choose one of multiple different underlying implementations based on that.

ISIS is successfully organizing and recruiting using these channels. Is there any indication at all that these channels allowed dissenting voices to reach ISIS supporters? That these voices had any impact on them at all? That if they had an

Why would they go back? That strategy seemed promising in the beginning but clearly it caused massive damage to their reputation and simply doesn't work in the long term.

The idea behind asyncio is nice. The API is mostly nice. The new async/await syntax that has been added mostly with asyncio is great. The documentation however is a horrible mess and the implementation could almost certainly be a lot b

The problem is really that Python 3 isn't new and shiny. It's an attempt to improve some downsides of Python 2 and some parts did actually get better but many parts didn't although they easily could have been improved, some p

The problem is that in Python 3 some cases aren't easier, they've become impossible to do properly. Dealing with paths is a good example where Python 3 has created a huge mess. IO specifically stdin/-out/-err is another

You can see the articles each author wrote so you can actually get a good picture on that. It looks like there are some people that only do content farming and others that do a mix of both.

The author only claims that better CPython C API support is needed for legacy applications. Of course there are a vast number of applications that have C API themselves that one might want to accesses. You can interact with those through cf
