I had the same problem with the name, although in my case I attributed it to associating it with FontForge.

I don't think they were advocating for using UTC exclusively, just identifying their own timezone relative to UTC when communicating with someone in a different hour. For example: "I always eat breakfast at 08:00 UTC+01, so I pref

If my calculations are correct, 520 bits should be enough to count in units of Planck time until the heath death of the universe.

Yeah. In Python 3, __div__ is gone, and only __floordiv__ and __truediv__ exist.

You almost always only want to implement __del__ if you're writing an extension in C. Otherwise, the GC generally takes care of cleanup perfectly fine. And in cases like the one cjhanks describes, __del__ doesn't get called reliab

Python's None is exclusively for 'the thing here explicitly doesn't exist' ('the thing here is empty' would be an empty collection and 'something which has never been set' is signified by raising an e

Your suggestion contains bugs, though. To make it fully equivalent to the code in the blog post, it would need to be: sentinel = object() item = next((item for item in container if search_something(item)), sentinel) if item is not s

I feel the same way. For-else is one of those things that make me miss Python when I'm working in another language, alongside things like list/set/dict comprehensions, Python's object model and it's way of dealing w

Honestly, "else" wasn't confusing to me at all, but "also" would make me very confused.

I whipped up something to test that: https://gist.github.com/gvx/667efcd263b18d313801c1b1ffa41509 Running that on my personal projects folder gives me the following result: for elses 60 for loops 1815 # modules

In Dutch, child/children is kind/kinderen, which is the same double plural. We also have that construction with ei/eieren for egg/eggs. (Regular plural suffixes are -en and -s.)

RE: non-deterministic formatting: I'm not familiar with YAPF, but what kind of behaviour does it have? Like if you run it on two copies of the same file you might get different results, or that it's not idempotent (i.e. sometimes

I generally follow this convention: 1. Any string literal that contains either ' xor " will be delimited by the other one. 2. For all other string literals, delimit by " if it's meant for human eyes only, delimit by &#x2

Next year, that xkcd strip will have been published closer to the original release of The Matrix than to the current day. I can't believe I've been keeping up with xkcd for so long.

I've not used either, but reading their forking announcement ( https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/ ), it seems the main difference is that Gogs is maintained by a single person and Gitea by a t

It certainly feels more lightweight, provided the webbrowser is already running, which for me is always.

That, and I don't think there is a real consensus on the nomenclature, even in the literature. At least, I don't remember university lectures being at all clear on the issue. FWIW, I don't use pass-by-value or pass-by-referen

Only images you click on (so that the larger preview pops up, with the Visit button and which used to have the View image button) load the original images, rescaled with CSS. The grid of smaller images consists of thumbnails.

Nostalgia doesn't cite sources. I've never used MacPaint. I've used MS Paint, though, pretty extensively, all through the 2000s.

I was the only kid in high school allowed to use a laptop in class, because my motor system doesn't really "do" writing but it does typing well enough. I'd spend entire lectures drawing gigantic mazes in MS Paint instead

I'd select the section I'd want to crop, copy it, create a new image, resize it to 1x1 or something else small, then paste. The canvas would automatically resize to fit the pasted selection. It sounds a bit more involved than your

An additional hurdle may be it's use of uniqueness typing ( http://clean.cs.ru.nl/download/html_report/CleanRep.2.2_11.h... ), which it uses for IO instead of monads. In my experience with Clean, uniqueness typ

While I agree with you on that, your previous comment was simply wrong. Non-profits are very much allowed to just "take money" (legal restrictions aside, but for-profit businesses also have legal restrictions). They're not al

I hardly think it's a lie. My browser contains no trace of anything related to Looking Glass, even though I'm opted into Shield Studies. It seems to affect some people but not others. Definitely something that should be fixed in t

There isn't really. Any of those things could be used as proxies (plus file size, number of XML elements, rendering time, and more), but the thing we are really interested in is subjective anyway. File size after rendering to bitmap an
