I'e been very impressed with my DNS provider, Loopia. For years they've been consistently quick to turn around my occasional requests for help with stuff not possible in the web UI or that requires involvement with the national re

Of course, there is a long tail of things that can't/won't migrate. I still see Python2.7 production code on a semi-regular basis (not network exposed, but very much at the core of critical business processes of major enterpr

My experience was that Python3 became a meaningful upgrade over Python2 around the 3.5 release. That was less than seven years of transition! I've been happy with Wayland for most of my Linux desktopping since 2018, so that was a ten y

Sure, with multiprocessing you can get 96 python processes running at 100% CPU while sharing a large dataset. Only problem is that 99% of that CPU usage is for serializing/deserializing IPC messages and total throughput would have been

Having lived in both Stockholm and Amsterdam, I can assure you that Stockholm is not at all flat like Amsterdam! No idea about how easy either city is to get around with a wheelchair. Pushing a fully loaded double-stroller is no problem for

Did you do it entirely in LaTeX or some hybrid? I use Python scripts to generate LaTeX invoices/offers/payslips from yaml files. It works very smoothly. Of course it is more effort than using the built-in templates from the bookke

A clarification: When I say that firing people is easy, I don't mean that you as a business owner can do whatever you want. You still need a reasonable cause and some record of trying to solve the problem, before you can force someone

It is easy and cheap starting up a limited liability business in Sweden. I haven't done it anywhere else, so I can't compare. But it certainly is not difficult or expensive in any absolute sense. Filing taxes is also easy, you d

I thought it was illegal to drive past stopped busses in most of North America, no matter how carefully you drive or how many lanes are separating you? If it is there and has any kinds of light on, everyone else on the road must simply halt

Both Tintin and Asterix are appreciated surprisingly much by younger kids. I find them a bit awkward for loud reading, since you have to do so much pointing and so many voices to keep it coherent, but it is a good burden to carry.

Visual noise and screen space hogging annoy me alot. Especially when you end up with multiple UUID:s on the same log line. If one doesn't truly need distributed creation of globally unique identifiers, it is so much nicer with base35

Unless something else is going on or the baby ends up mentally ill as an adult, it will not resent your sister for calling it 'little bean' in public and posting pictures of it Wadling about in diapers. The baby might resent these

He is indeed a right knob, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the few shows of his that I've gone to. Assuming one accepts the basic premise of his music (melodical moping), he has an amazing catalogue of songs and a lovely

This would be a very welcome addition to Python packaging! Since . is already used for the package-level namespacing and is currently a forbidden character in PYPI package-names, that seems like the perfect separator. Instead of doing `pip

Someone on the internet says that. While I, also a person on the internet, prefer boots for hiking and find that most people I meet on hikes are also wearing boots of various kinds. I do bring a pair of "trail sneakers" to change

The private roads in Sweden tend to be gravel tracks serving a handful of households. Or logging roads. Some exceptions exist with paved networks of small, suburban streets, but there the "arteries" are still typically public. And

You would obviously need to give an overview of the types of customers and assignments and you had while consulting. And provide references on request. No different to any other job.

No shared memory will also mean that actor style is slower-than-single-thread-slow, when the "message-size to processing-per-actor ratio" is not right. Actors and message passing is great for problems where it fits and worse than

Yeah, it is perfectly possible, I just don't think it is very nice. Neither for parsing nor for human reading. If I need a file or network message to represent a handful of object types with a bunch of relations that form a graph, I pr

Olympic pools are amazing for casual swimming! The water has quite different dynamics, compared to a regular pool. Unfortunately they are expensive to build and operate, due to their size, so they are quite rare. I treat myself to an Olympi

CSV is nice for tabular data. Especially if it is plain and straight forward in its nature. This covers a lot of use cases. For an object graph, CSV is less nice.

The cruise control on my Kia (MY18 Optima) phantom brakes in certain situations. Typically in curves on divided highways, when you are in the left-most lane. I think it gets confused and panicky by the divider fence. Luckily there is no OTA

It will be a three-way loss. For the natives who lose out on services, for the expats who clearly actively chose being expats in a particular location over all other options available to them and finally for the natives where the expats rel

I can't say I seriously tried anything else, but the same approach worked magic for me. I started running and swimming, slowly ramping up to four hours per week (previously zero active exercise for the past 20 years) and have been cons

The easiest option is to just speed up if you are getting bored. Exertion will clear your mind and focus it on the task at hand. There will simply be no space left in your head for feelings of boredom!

But the Southwest system is not "phone-based" by design, I presume? They are going via phone because the decision support system for ops/crew control are down/unusable? If they've resorted to doing all their schedul

You'll find that almost all airlines keep staff on call in various places and with various reporting times, because already at very small scale, you'll have some crew not making it to work for whatever reason all the time. Maintai
