Yeah, going to have to agree here. Facebook is just a never-ending stream of shit I don't really care about or need to hear about. The time I don't spend on Facebook is vastly better spent than the time I spend on Facebook, even w

Personally, I imagine low-cost in-place branching is useful to most people doing serious work...?

IntelliJ is pretty close to what you want...

Er, maybe you never heard of Stackless Python (micro-threads) or PyPy (JIT)?

Indeed. Not enough people seem to be aware of the new dict merge feature introduce: merged_dict = { **source_dict1, **source_dict2, **{ 'some_key': 'w00t!' } }

Let's be honest, A lot of peoples experience with Python is restricted to the North America. For these folks encountering anything other than ASCII is pretty uncommon. Personally, I've worked on a Python 2.x project deployed in he

You must not have looked very hard then. Python 2.7 has just about the worst unicode handling of ANY language I've ever used. Plenty of otherwise crappy languages (Java, JavaScript, etc) managed to make one right choice when they decid

What a hideous idea, given the UI semantics on mobile OSes are pretty sub-optimal for systems that provide input systems other than a touch screen.

Ah, the age-old assumption among developers: Everything is terrible and broken, the only way to fix it is to throw everything in the bin and start from scratch. Some things never change...

If you think this stuff is creepy well...okay? I mean, it's not like every desktop application you've ever used in your life couldn't do the same or more?

I tried switching to FF a while back but it didn't take. Right now I'm using Vivaldi.

You know there are discord bots for bridging between IRC and Discord? Pretty funky :-)

by OOPMan 9y ago
5 million concurrent users is great and all, but it would be nice if Discord could work out how to use WebSockets without duplicating sent messages. This seems to happen a lot when you are switching between wireless networks (E.g. My home r

Wow. What a train wreck. This is why the documentation I write contains database URIs like: USER@HOST:PORT/SCHEMA

You make plenty of good points but also ignore a whole bunch of bad ones you've made. Your point about rural scenarios is pointless because this video and idea are clearly aimed at the urban transport problem which needs to be solved d

I used to get a lot more reading done when I used public transport too. I miss those days :-(

This blog post has further confirmed something I've thought for a long time. Avoid working at companies with HR departments. In order to have an HR department a company has to be big enough to support a population of what I like to cal

It's worth remembering that Applets were active at a time when the Internet, as a whole, was a lot slower. Although yeah, even with our newfangled fibre connections applets are still pretty bloated.

As someone who has worked behind a checkout till it is not a job I think anyone is dying to do. For you, as the customer, maybe it seems cute and fine as a job but from my time in the job it's basically hours of mindless labour that te

It's no secret that there is a lot of exploitation happening in the industry. I'm not sure how you need it elaborated? If you think that everyone in the porn industry wants to be there and loves their job then you're missing

While I personally feel like porn is dubious (primarily due to the exploitative nature of the industry) I feel like this whole controversy is way overblown. Before this thread I had no idea said controversy even existed. As far as I knew th

I don't mind timezones, but DST is the devil. And I don't even live in a country that has it.

While you make some sense, you lost me the second you started talking about XML. It's ugly as hell and always has been. I suspect only Java developers could love such a tedious, verbose thing ;-)

Nice to see you getting so much positive feedback, here is some negative feedback balance it out: * How is this different from any of the other declarative app building systems that have, as yet, failed to take the world at large by storm?

That is something of an understatement by any measure.
