Tokaido is quite fascinating to me. A 500km long path, primarily traveled on foot even in the 19th century because there weren't many horses or carts. The rich were carried in hammocks by a team of 4 people.

I would actually recommend conda, it solves the "multiple version" issue and is compatible with virtualenv/pip so you can keep using them as usual.

Just allow account users to charge the owner's credit card (via in-app purchases etc.). That'll stop password sharing real quick.

I follow the opposite rule. Never use a question unless you genuinely don't know the answer. For example the PR contains a bug, which was obviously not noticed by the submitter. The answer to "why did you do it this way?" is

Let me rephrase: why is punishing people for success a bad thing? Because it rewards mediocrity.

Cars can't cross the road on a divided highway either, so it's fair. If the person in question was running along the road not across it, this wouldn't have happened.

Ebert was right, if talking specifically about AAA games, which is what Marvel flicks are an equivalent of. "Shoot a bunch of guys with more realistic graphics than ever!" Hard to argue this is art.

I don't mind this, as long as they would offer a relocation from the country in question. I would even volunteer! It's not my fault I was born in this shithole.

To think that with a bunch of gen 3 nuclear plants Germany could've been carbon neutral already just like France.

>Tourists tend to be cheap, and have zero emotional investment in what they're touring Then why do souvenir shops exist? Wouldn't they be extremely unprofitable if this was true?

You'd think it would be `hg id`, but it doesn't work without connection to remote repository and is extremely slow with large repositories with uncommited changes, so it's not the correct answer. --debug option also prints in

We don't use code to show how smart we are. We just assume that other developers are as smart as we are. >We don’t see people writing books in acronyms or omitting words. Math books written for mathematicians do this all the time.

Doesn't have two separate concepts for "branches" and "bookmarks" which is extremely confusing compared to the simple Git DAG. Not having to add crucial functionality like stashes by editing the config to add a new

Nah, it's racism, there's no other explanation. I'm also white and people were not only sitting next to me, but even offering me snacks on intercity trains. Interestingly in my own country people rarely sit next to me unless

But did you know an Oyster card in London can't have more than 16 fare zones? This is the reason why some stations on Overground don't accept Oyster cards.

That's nothing. All dairy cows have descended from one bull. That's how evolution (and its artificial counterpart, selective breeding) works.

Common Lisp is a great language for OOP programming though. Almost any serious CL code heavily uses CLOS.

It's almost as if programming languages live forever as long as there's production code that uses them. See: COBOL.

Multi-line/multi-expression lambdas. "end" statement which would enable automatic indentation. "switch" statement instead of "if/elif/.../else" hell.

It's not an exceptional use case at all. f-strings are pretty much useless for any non-trivial formatting: 1) customizable templates (can't allow the user to access arbitrary variables) 2) i18n (can't allow the translator to

That's established way to deal with tritium-contaminated water. It's done in many places around the world. There's natural tritium in the ocean, once the water is diluted to this level it's perfectly safe.

At any point in time there was likely a great variety of ecological niches on Earth. It seems weird that one kind of organism would achieve total global domination. For example Bacteria and Archaea have diverged relatively early on the scal
