   I had a really bizarre interview recently where, after the initial recruiter phone screen, I was rejected based on an in-person half-hour very simplistic paired coding exercise, only met with one person, and wasn't asked about my (imo

    What does it mean for your LAN to stay up if your devices connected wirelessly lose connectivity and the other devices on your LAN lose Internet access when your router goes down?

    Exactly. It's enough to make me wait for the next version.

    The main dealbreaker for me here is the lack of ethernet ports. I currently have a Sonos bridge and a NAS device plugged into my router. The lack of a web interface is also a problem, but should be resolved at some point based on other comm

    Judging by this thread there are a surprising number of tools dedicated to this. Typically when I need tabular output I stick the data into a Pandas dataframe and its output format is usually good enough.

    Thanks, I've seen that before, but it doesn't list Proggy Tiny, and just shows the characters in the font in a line and not how they'd appear in source code. It's hard to discern things like line height, compare the font

    I've been using Proggy Tiny for literally over a decade, I wonder if there's any font that can beat it for me. Does anyone know of an easy way to compare two typefaces and see how they look when rendering source code?

    I agree, I was surprised to suddenly see this post at #1 on the front page. And now it's somehow been removed from the site, though it still shows up in /new. Strange. Edit: why the downvote?

    "Absolute disaster" seems strong. The situation doesn't seem too bad to me. I can pip install things and it works. I keep hearing that Python's packaging is so bad, but I don't even know what the problems are.

    Thanks! That's exactly what I figured was the reason. Personally I'd have gone for the practicality beats purity side of things here, but oh well.

    I wonder why set operations were never supported for dictionaries. a = b | c makes perfect sense, vs: a = b.copy() a.update(c)

    Personally I dislike % formatting even if it's a few characters shorter to type. .format is superior in every other way and has consistent-with-everything-else method call syntax. Edit: I think it's largely the special flower over
