The banned story was hosted on a shady website and quickly flagged. The reason for that was (if I remember correctly) that the website was some kind of right wing outlet.

It seems to me that the game turned out to be most famous Icelandic export product by far. That's pretty cute.

I also use both and I found that keybindings and interaction with text are so different that it almost does not hurt. What I found much harder is using vim-like modes in editors - they almost match the vim keybindings but not just quite, lu

[citation needed] I disagree with your categorical statement, it's inevitably going to start comment wars just because of the provocative phrasing.

It's an article about sexism and women complaining about sexism. This topic seems to be really trendy on Hackernews, judging by the shitstormy comment threads articles like that always generate.

July 29 < August 1 < September 9 I don't see anything exonerating in the timeline you described. You are making assumptions here that could excuse the executives if they were true. These are nothing but assumptions though.

What's the point of saying 'Wikileaks is trying to distract us from happenings in Russia' when you are not even specifying the things we are supposedly being distracted from? If you are trying to proliferate the 'Wikilea

I don't understand what you are implying here. Would you kindly tell us which political news story are those pesky russian hackers at wikileaks trying to cover up?

Well truth be told it was hard for me to understand what the author meant. Thanks for clarification.

It's more of a feature than an arbitrary limitation I think. Python philosophy, 'explicit over implicit', and that stuff.

I edited my post, as after giving it some thought I concluded that the author wants to pass around the source code of the function. That indeed is something that python cannot provide in cases when function is already precompiled.

> there's no acceptable way to pass a function body to another in Python. What. Why would you ever want a function body as a string? What kind of vile sorcery are you doing? One can use inspect.getsourcelines in python if really pre

In the end Mozilla is simply going to go through with it and there's nothing we can do about it. Just like with the killing of the XUL plugins - the company simply didn't care about the outcry. I mean why would they? The amount of

Every time there's a thread about American ISPs it's like a self-help group meeting in the comments. I imagine a group of citizens of some kind of Orwellian state would sound roughly the same - abundant horror stories and what see

It's so incredibly annoying that every time there's a news article about wikileaks people start crying about its bias and Russian spies. Even if Satan himself feeds them info, so what? What matters is the truthfulness of their lea

I think the big publishers are not behaving rationally here, trying to fight a library based in Russia via American courts. A much cheaper and effective alternative would be to simply bribe some Russian officials. If the bribe is big enough
