S and X discontinued in Australia as well. But 3 and Y seem to be doing well, despite the boss's attempts to dissuade buyers.

I use what sounds like a similar approach: cheap Digital Ocean instance, nginx, BIND, Let's Encrypt, Namecheap, DNSMadeEasy (for secondary DNS) and whatever stack the app uses. I have a private GitLab instance (also at DO), and put a g

A friend of mine is named William, but generally goes by Bill. This has and does cause a variety of issues, some minor but others that need many hours of bureaucratic effort to resolve. Having a former legal name like this seems likely to

100% agree re: TOML. Just ... why? Is there really something so compelling about it that makes it worthwhile being different to everything else? The fact that the PEP was proposed with this, discussed, accepted, implemented and deployed

I think the author's characterization of "Open Source Rambos" caring more about the licensing than the software is unfair: we learned through bitter experience that if you care about the software, you need to care about the l

I'm sure skilled volunteers would be very welcome. There are numerous active, moderately serious efforts to both optimize and/or JIT Python bytecode. I think AOT compilation is mostly out-of-scope for 100% compatibility, but agai

But in this context, I think the supported devices don't matter: the idea is to interface with one-or-more telcos directly at a higher level of the 3GPP stack?

I think it's worth the clarification that Javascript is usually JITed; (C)Python isn't. And that CPython's I/O isn't really the problem: some of its async event loop implementations are fairly competitive with Node.

Python is both an interpreter, and quite dynamic. Both of these lead to lower performance when compared to less dynamic, compiled solutions. All of Java, Go, and .NET are compiled and (much) less dynamic. This is absolutely an expected ou

LetsEncrypt is free, and sure, you have to run the cron job to cycle the certs, but honestly, it's painless.

There exists FOSS that could do this too (start with "osmocombb"). But the real problem here isn't technical, it's a business/legal issue: the carriers and their regulators are trying to minimize (or at least, reduc

Least, perhaps? But certainly contentious. In my view, the job of the C committee should be to eliminate undefined behaviour and any remaining specification ambiguities (or errors) and otherwise leave the damned language alone. If you want

Because it is, so far, just hearsay with no physical evidence. It's a curious moment: the US military has recently been more transparent about UAP, including releasing videos. NASA has a permanent body investigating UAP reports. And

We didn't use Slack, and I think the difference was that our chat tool didn't split up the display of channels. The thing we used had a scrolling tickertape-style window. Commit messages would scroll across once, and then they we

The former. We found it really useful to see, in a way that you could read and ignore, who was committing what to where. It helped you keep up with what was going on, who was working where in the codebase, when things that might impact you

I should add one thing: It's really far, far better if there's no "head office". Once you do that, everywhere else becomes second-class by default, and suddenly it's up to them to bend their schedule to fit with ca

There was a second implementation from Harlequin as well as those from Apple, but sadly neither were successful. CMU also released Gwydion, which was a FOSS implementation. The Newton project's choice to use NewtonScript, rather than

Being non-model, Emacs users probably have less dissonance when using text boxes, etc. And part of the appeal of macOS for me is that the UI toolkit uses an Emacs-compatible set of shortcuts. So it's generally not a terrible experienc
