It's likely still cool after sitting for a while, just not ice cold. If you take melted ice cream and eat/drink it, it's still cool, although probably less pleasant.

Aren't most of these also backportable to Python 2.7? Especially the libraries, where the reason seems to be, "we added a nifty little tool." If so, then why the breaking language change? Why should I port my Python 2.7 code

On Linux I use cmus in a guake window. Cmus is a curses-based music player / browser and guake lets me access it with F12 at any time. Launches almost instantly and I never worry about it consuming more resources than it needs.

Wouldn't rent and a monthly mortgage end up being about the same? The value provided by one unit of housing to its tenants should be about the same as the value to an owner living there, so an investor buying a unit shouldn't expe

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but if your cache is behaving so badly (40% 500 error?), shouldn't you just get rid of the cache? Maybe allocate some more resources to the DB, but the DB already caches frequently accessed data and

This feature makes me think, "When all you have is SQL, everything looks like a relational database." I recently confused some co-workers when they examined my Google Sheets query - not knowing Excel very well, I just wrote SQL-is

TL;DR: The "Bombshell" is Alphabet/Waymo's lawsuit against Lewandowski and Uber for stealing trade secrets, and an interpretation that Lewandowski formed Otto basically as a cover to get a big payday from Uber in exchang

Speed didn't matter to the huge Prius market. And with the Bolt supposedly getting 238mi on a charge, that's on par with a Model S 70. I think you should give GM a little more credit...

I think part of the problem in this case was that it didn't seem likely they would get such a big payout again. On Wall St, there's always a bigger bonus to aim for at the same firm next year. At Google, if you wanted to take your

Untested idea: Do regular user surveys asking, "how reliable is the product?" This would provide a measure of how buggy the software is that can be tracked over time.

It's testing each language's implementation of regexes. A lot of the languages are probably linking in a regex library written in C or C++ anyways. It's evidence that if you're writing something that's heavy on rege

The history of Krita is briefly mentioned in the interview - I think I first tried Krita around 2005 or so. At the time, it was basically KDE's GIMP as part of KDE's productivity suite (which kind of sucked anyways). That put it i

I think you cannot represent "Monday in a year at 12:00" with a simple integer either, right? For example, the king of the country may decide to cancel DST for the year. Either way you would have to store it as a calendar event an

There is pressure to be favorable towards the customer (the company being inspected). Something similar happened in finance, where issuers were shopping around the big 3 ratings agencies for the best rating.

After reading your comment, I was inclined to agree with you about the statistics. After reading their FAQ, I was convinced to side with them. Their point is that the stats are garbage-level useless. And I can imagine people bragging elsewh

You can build the code. Might take a little monkeying around with your build environment, but each program should be buildable. I'm not sure what you think "open source" is or needs to be. We were passing around tarballs over

I'm pretty sure that the Cadence you're thinking of is not the Cadence that owned Scheme. Cadence Research Systems was afaik a tiny entity that mainly owned Chez Scheme.

Just wanted to point out that 3ds max used to be named "3D Studio MAX" and grew out of an even older DOS software called 3D Studio. Autodesk bought it somewhere around when it got ported to Windows NT (maybe 1997?). Autodesk reall

Agreed - I'd rather see dairy/eggs merged with meats than fats with sugar. You can see the original data that they used on the FAOSTAT website[0]. The original data does separate "Sugars& Sweeteners" from "Oilcr

I think this is not a serious question, but I'll bite. We're paying a hefty price for C in the form of buffer overflows, memory leaks, slow development, and other problems and will continue to do so as long as we run software writ

Agreed. All of Go's deficiencies are not deal breakers when it is so well suited to network services that shuffle data around. I wouldn't build lots of business logic in Go, but often I just need to proxy data from point A to poin

A lot of services would be fine with some big traditional databases - StackOverflow is one example that scaled vertically instead of horizontally. But a lot of services would also get by with a distributed DB with weak integrity guarantees.

For those who are talking about how they are bad or below average at visualizing things, how do you know? Is there a test that measures this ability?
