I think the macOS sandbox, "apps can only access their own files, unless the OS file open dialog is used to select" is a really clever solution, and could be extended -possibly to URLs too? On install an app can list "home d

Perl6 is fascnating! And there arent a lot of 'woah' new languages about (Rust, Go, elixir, D, elm, nim, clojure, typescript, are all 'old hat' now...) so for people wanting to learn & play, perl(6) offers a lot of

Well, kinda. What is an evening or morning when there is no sun, night, day time? More likely it's just a poetic turn of phrase. What I find interesting is you can stick to "it's poetic, but modern scientific understanding

I absolutely agree. As a side note: Its 6 days, not 7. Day 7 (the Sabbath) was for resting. As a longer thought: God, as a omnipotent being, obviously doesn't need to rest, and given the idea that he (for lack of a better pronoun) i

It depends. I'm way more proficient in Python than anything else, but I'll still reach for PHP fur a single page template / dynamic report, or awk for some jobs, bash for others, Perl if there's exactly the right CPAN l

#blender and related, the freenode community is still very active for real time support for many projects. I think IRC still could have a great place in the world - decentralised, open, etc. The ui is just very expectant that you already k

Depends how caked on and congealed the former contents are, how well the new and old mix, and with how much force you're pouring... Also, if the cup was filled with rat urine before, how much tea would be wasted before you considered i

That's kind of what I was hoping. I suspect a vast proportion of normal Python code doesn't use the meta programming and run on import and so on.

Only on the first load ever. When modules are compiled to their byte code, they could get a "clean" flag if they don't execute code, which means they get loaded lazily next time.

Homebrewing beer is pretty easy to be cheaper than good craft beer, and better than cheap commercial beer. If you keep good sanitation, and are relatively careful, it's a lot of fun. The online homebrew community /r/homebre

Anyone know what the state of AV on android is? $employer requires ESET on all windows machines, and I'm trying out the android app now. It doesn't seem to make my phone any slower...

Use two users, and wp-cli. I've been doing this for years now. Php runs as a less privileged user, without write permission. If they want to install plugins, they need to enter the FTP name and password of the site dir owner user. Si

How could a safe system actually do it? Without some kind of run time garbage collector? Doesn't this kind of problem really require run time (either manual or automatic) care of memory by definition?

I thought the idea with rust was that it was low-level enough that such problems could be expressed with zero overhead in an unsafe block, and then given a safe interface for users further up the chain? There's nothing wrong with scary

That doesn't work for colour blindness, or languages that use extended Latin alphabet. Some letters of a word would be one colour and others another.

I really like the flexibility of being able to swap around dbs during initial development. At some point along the way once almost the whole major systems are working, I'll need to decide if I need FTS, sharding, to work on a shared
