What is stopping PyPy from getting more widespread adoption in the Python community? Surely it isn't that everyone is using the latest version of CPython; it's been years and many are still using 2.7.

I think HN could really benefit from some adjustment of the flagging/killing process. An article like this is going to attract lots of knee-jerk flaggers based on the title alone, but the guidelines state, "...please use the origi

Nice list. The books on there that I'm familiar with are excellent so I will definitely take a look at the others.

The Chait article[0] Taibbi cites may be a slightly more effective version of a similar argument, not least because he goes to a good deal of trouble to emphasize how much worse the problem is on the political right. [0] https://

This is unfortunately par for the course whenever sex and dating come up on HN.

So many of the comments on here seem to be making an implicit and flawed assumption that people are only having sex within their age cohort.

Agreed - very cool project that could use some refactoring.

If functionality wasn't specified, then it's not a defect, it's working as expected.

Okay, I guess if you're writing malware then you can feel free to carry on with whatever terminology you like. For the rest of us it is understood that a blacklist is untrusted and a whitelist is trusted, so why don't we just say

I agree that'd be great, but between changing the world's use of black and white and changing our use of blacklist and whitelist as pertains to software, one is in our power and the other isn't. Who knows, maybe someone will

This is correct; React is a framework.

One thing that irks me as someone who has dabbled in Haskell is not knowing how I should pronounce infix operators like <*> or <?> as I'm reading a line to myself.

Those terms don't explicitly attach a moral value to colors in the way that the blacklist/whitelist terminology does.
977.
by jgwil2 6y ago
Irrespective of origin, the terms seem to equate black to bad and white to good, and as such should probably be retired. As other comments have mentioned, allow and deny are more explicit and thus probably better terms anyway.

How many people are developing commercial software without a framework? Software needs architecture, tooling, best practices and the rest. Taking the library approach just results in ad hoc frameworks emerging over time.

Even in American English you would have to be incredibly chipper and sincere for it not to sound sarcastic.

It's a mark of respect for individuals who have lost their lives. There's nothing dishonest about that.

Yes. Change incentives and behavior will change.

Surely you can imagine a situation where those two points are not the same.

Yep, generally if you find food on the shelf that has past its sell-by date, they will give it to you for free.

What a callous thing to say. Would you shrug at your parents or grandparents dying? Please show some respect for people's losses.

Is there reverse also not possible though? I'm a manager and I see an employee who is thinking of leaving, so I try to figure out why. Do they want a raise? More responsibility or autonomy? And then I try to give it to them so they won
