Saying the parentheses are optional in Python 2 is kind of inaccurate. "print(thing)" is just "print (thing)", and "(thing)" is just an unnecessarily parenthesized version of "thing". So basically it&

They're ahead in multi-threaded performance, but as another commenter said, they suffer when it comes to single-threaded tasks, which meant that their gaming performance often suffered (my friend ran into this problem firsthand when he

That's just Hello World, though. He said his app was parsing a 20 MB file. To do a fair comparison, with your example, I just compiled and ran Hello World in Java on my machine and got this: real 0.06 user 0.06 sys 0.01

Shouldn't using common CDNs solve this problem?

I agree. What exactly is the point of backporting features, when the main reason people give for wanting to use Python 2 is for legacy applications? What 8-year-old codebase is going to be updated to use `async`? And if you're starting

I own this laptop too, and I agree with you. I would add a few complaints of my own, though: - The computer sometimes seems to turn on after it's closed and asleep in my bag - The CPU gets pegged constantly, even on the i7 version (adm

I am in complete agreement. No matter how many troubles Windows may have caused me over the years, at least I've never managed to somehow completely delete its entire GUI while attempting a routine software update.

Ooh, let's continue the metaphor. Sometimes Linux Airlines forgets to equip its planes with doors. Others in Linux Airlines, who are used to entering through the windows, suggest that you should start a door company yourself to outfit

Well, just for comparison's sake, employees at Google are able to give each other bonuses that are worth more than that. They're subject to manager approval of course, but they can be given for things as simple as "this per

Absolutely. For example, Google will reimburse you up to $12k a year for courses you take that are related to your job, and even offers up to $1,200 for everything else. So if you want to take, say, a cooking class, they'll even help o

I have a problem with these puzzles that it seems like no one has pointed out. A couple of them are just intentionally misleading, specifically the ones that involve typos. For example, the solution to one of them is that it says 'defa

I think what you're saying is definitely indicative of what I was trying to get at: that analog is more of a "feeling" and less of a technical term nowadays. I didn't mean to vilify you for that; I think it's a fair

I'm a little wary about projects like this. While it is true that Google Play Services kind of subverts the free nature of Android, it's also one of the only things that is keeping fragmentation from becoming a big(ger) problem. G

Honestly, I think just because it's so exceptionally un-cool. PHP may not be that cool either, but Facebook uses (has used?) it, and it's at least not as strict and "enterprise-y" as Java.

I think you're misunderstanding how the process works. It's not like they wait until they're ready to hire you and then tell you where you're going to work -- they ask you where you want to work. After I had passed

In Python 3, reduce was intentionally moved into the functools library because it was argued that its two biggest use cases by far were sum and product, which were both added as builtins. In my experience, this has very much been the case.

There is no reason this kind of glitch should even be happening. There should be some kind of date attribute that gets attached to the ContentID data that Fox submits, and YouTube should reject takedowns for which that date is later than th

I really don't like the sentiment of "We shouldn't change it unless the man page says we can". That's exactly the kind of senseless bureaucracy that the open source community should be avoiding.
