Wasn't there a political reason? The air force wanted to show how great it was and the army was prevented from advancing?

ES6 is nice compared to PHP. It is not close to Python yet in terms of consistency and it-just-does-what-you-expect syntax. ES7 etc may get there but the standard library is also still lacking. Also ES6 doesn't work in the browser (at

HN already punishes accounts that either flag or vouch a different way to the moderators final decision. This should approach should help make the two pathological minima less likely.

Weird every Ubuntu install I've ever seen had a "Print to file" option in the print dialogue - which just worked.

They want to communicate their research to other researchers. Different scientists do not agree on the best format for this. They need to have high impact publications to hold onto their jobs.

I think that it has already happened in some places. Essentially the electric company includes a charge for the peak load you drew that month - even if you only drew it for a few minutes.

I've come into large python2 projects which had been started with non-unicode strings (because the initial developers didn't think about it). At some point a user with non-English characters invariably signs up and then shortly co

If you work with international users full unicode support is very compelling.

It looks like it allows stdin, stdout, stderr and return code to be handled properly which call() doesn't. It's still syntactic sugar over Popen() and communicate() but will cut down boilerplate for calling external processes.

I hadn't actually noticed that! It looks like .run() allows input and output to be piped and the return code captured. That is a serious improvement over subprocess.call().

Cool subprocess is a little verbose. But did you happen to notice if it executes with shell=True or shell=False?

How does s(command_from_potentially_unsafe_source).run() compare with os.system(command_from_potentially_unsafe_source) or subprocess.call(command_from_potentially_unsafe_source, shell=True) securitywise? I&

Can't edit this so replying. If you want to feel good and like you are helping then work on a project with a free license like open street map.

These comparisons are pointless. Would you like to compare loc as well? How about man hours spent? The only comparison that is important is how well the two projects work. I have no idea how well plotnine works yet (but I intend to find out

It's a ps/pdf toolkit type program. It is used by imagemagick as a backend for pdf conversion type stuff - so if you every need imagemagick you might find yourself in for some annoyance as well.
