This doesn't have anything to do with the discussion of Python application streams. The linked blog post contains a table of UBI 7 images that includes python-27 and python-36, and a table of UBI 8 images that only includes python-27.

I naively thought that "worth it" had something to do with the quality of education. I shouldn't be surprised, after peeking at the outline.com link, that the WSJ is evaluating strictly in terms of future income. With an MIT

Ligatures, which are mentioned in the article, are a good example of the distinction between canonical and compatibility forms. If your input contains "traffic", you don't necessarily want NFC to insert the "ffi" li

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what language this is, because there's some weird syntax in the .h and .cpp files that I don't recognize as C++.

One thing I've found surprising and interesting over the past decade or so is the popularity of permissive licenses like BSD, MIT, and others. I would have expected the essential share-alike fairness of copyleft to resonate more. I d

Do I understand correctly that the record layer is only usable by Java clients? That strikes me as a drawback of the layer approach: unless you supply a server protocol, like the document layer does, every language essentially reimplements

That page says, "Requires Google Chrome or Firefox," and the download link takes you to the Chrome web store. I'm not sure the poster considers that full support.

If I'm reading this correctly, the "modern C++" part of the library is in fact supplied by a C++ wrapper around a C-style API.

More accessible than the previous gen (although oddly iFixit gives it the same score of 6/10), but it's harder than I'd hoped to get to the RAM.

The only place I see that mentions 16 KB is the instruction cache on the S7 monitor core. Apart from cache, it doesn't look like any of these include RAM.

We use the trashcan Mac Pros at work to host VMs, and it's kind of a pain in the tuchas: terrible form factor, wicked expensive, and really outdated. These maxed out Mac Minis will be better for us in almost every way. As a home user,

It's rhetorical. The point is that if you trust your distro with millions of lines of code from Linux, GCC, and a thousand other packages, then you should be able to trust it with one more package (albeit a big one).

I use Dvorak exclusively at work, and move between QWERTY/Sholes and Dvorak at home. I'm a better typist with Dvorak than I ever was with QWERTY, but I admit that I'm slightly worse at QWERTY since adopting Dvoark. For me, h

Meanwhile, RHEL 7 uses GCC 4.8, which first shipped five years ago. How about the Red Hat Developer Toolset? Is that pretty commonly used, or do most Red Hat users stick with the default packages?
