ArchiveTeam wants to archive all of reddit, shreddit wants to shred it. Interesting juxtaposition.

But in reality there are tribes and there’s religion. Also, a small minority that can rule a majority due to gerrymandering has no incentive to give up their power.

I cant figure out how to paste something in many contexts without a long press, which will select text - so the paste will replace that text. So if i want to insert something, I will write a couple of chars of garbage, long-press-select, th

Does this explain why Hollywood writing feels so factory-produced these days? The writers guild has turned script writing into a collective, dispassionate activity?

The problem is MacOs’ window switching behavior when using alt-tab and alt-`. The one switches to the most recently used other software, the other cycles through the windows of the same software. Now imagine u have 10 terminal windows and 3

I didnt say say a sequence is an array. I said its fair to call str objects in python arrays: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

Tell me a language where a string isnt an ordered sequence of elements of some atomic text-like data type. Those may have different types - like utf8 bytes, bytes, unicode code points, grapheme clusters etc. But these are all some sort of r

The length of an array should correspond to the number of elements. Since each element is a code point, it's the most relevant number if you intend to operate on individual elements. That is, the maximum index corresponds to the length

The python doc says "str" are immutable sequences of unicode code points. Since it implements __getitem__, its fair to call it an array (it has a length, and allows indexing). I couldn't find out in the documentation whether

“Least wrong” sounds very silly. Its like programmers are discovering theres a difference between bytes, unicode code points and grapheme clusters and are unsure about how their favorite programming language represents strings, and then dec

length is not ambiguous at all. Its the number of elements in the array. A string in python3 is an array of unicode code points, so the length of a string is the number of unicode code points. If you want the number of bytes, you need to en

I find these descriptions incomprehensible. Its like explanations written for ppl who already know the thing. Some labelled images or videos or before/after comparisons might help.

Still looking for long out-of-window rail videos. You know, so that once I finish building my rail compartment, I can simulate a proper ride.

Asian cities are very different from the West, so not sure lessons apply. Although Berlin is probably more affordable in PPP terms, and relative to population has more rapid transit than those asian cities (500km for 4.6Mio ppl). In virtual

But monthly passes, for example in NYC, are expensive relative to single tickets, so adoption is relatively low. If everyone has a monthly pass, fare evasion is less of an issue even in an open system. Fares are checked on a sampling basis

A system that relies on turnstiles is decades behind as well. Best practices in much of Europe use proof of payment and cheap monthly passes relative to single tickets, so most users have monthly passes. This cuts down on access time, infra
