Because programming should be descriptive to what you want the computer to do , and the way that humans explain things to each other is usually linear. For instance: brush your teeth, then put on your clothes, then get in the car, then sta

I couldn't be more thankful that python was one of my first languages, and this is something that I've passed on to everybody I've ever mentored. Python is a real language that does real things, but it's also completely

What benefit would that have over a cookie? (Honest question)

Roll my own. Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes. Just use plain old cookies to store session IDs.

Every time there is one of these threads about SF, the topic of human feces seems to be a big part of it. People defecating everywhere, people throwing feces at each other, just filth everywhere. WHY does the city not just install portapot

Well aside from implying that they want people to become violent: https://twitter.com/RevLeftRadio/status/909456034527371264 They also openly call for violence, including executions, of people that they don&#x27

I'm not sure I understand what is funny here. Could you explain it?

Friendly reminder to go get your battery replaced before the end of the year!

Yeah but that wireless charger should be an added convenience, not an anti-user move to get you to buy more crap. It feels like a recent thing to me, but companies (especially tech companies) have gone from: "We will make the best prod

There were good, ubiquitous replacements for VCRs when DVD players came out. This would be like if Sony stopped selling VCRs in 1998 when they just happened to own the patent on blu ray, and a major movie studio. Actually it's exactl

Complete agreement from me here. I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack. It's such a simple thing, but it represents such a middle finger to consumers that it's enough for me to say no. My iPhone 6s is fine. An older

This same story played out 10 or so years ago with Wikileaks, PayPal, and major card processors and banks. The sad realization was that private companies can control who gets to speak very effectively. Lots of people hoped cryptocurrency wo

Wow this is an excellent point that I hadn't considered. Globalisation is simply a way to dodge local environmental and human regulations.

I know it's wrongthink so say that globalism has seemed like a bad thing, so: I'm a programmer, not an economist. Could somebody explain to me why trying to effect the US's stance as an economic leader using tariffs is a ba

Yeah, before smartphones people turned on the news first thing in the morning. They used to have traffic reports for your commute, weather, breaking news etc. People even had radios and sometimes televisions in the bathroom to listen to th

I'm really curious what the other 3 people do. I wake up before my wife, so I usually grab my phone, or laptop usually, and start checking news, planning my day etc. before she is up. Do people just sit there and stare at the ceiling

It's just a pile on by the media. Agent 1) Publishes salacious article Agent 2) Sees traffic sharing that article, publishes its own Agent 3) Traffic is starting to die down, publishes even MORE salacious article by uncharitably inter

Holy shit. Was this in the US? What city? Can you share more of the story?

I have a PI in an interactive art installation that gets power cycled pretty freaking often, and so far the card has held up. It is something I worry about though.

Because they don't act as though they have rich inner lives (especially fish and birds). If you're actually interested in this topic, I highly recommend the book "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins.

Why does the west continue to tolerate China as a trading partner? China is pretty obviously building their empire. They, as a government, appear to have almost no regard whatsoever for human life. They, as a government, appear to have ab

Just an anecdote here, but I live in Phoenix, near their service area, and I see these cars all over the place. I'd say I probably see at least one on each journey I take in my own car.
