That's no excuse for obnoxiously vague laws. Let's say, hypothetically, the premise of "save the environment" is valid. Instead of banning "tools not commonly found in the residence", which is completely open t

"Latine" (with a long e) or just "Latin" works fairly well in the language if one absolutely must avoid the collective-o ending, as in "Latine intelligente." Still a tad awkward, but leagues better than "L

But there's no information in the song lyrics to indicate that it's anything to do with LGBT. I have heard it on the radio for years and had no idea until I saw the music video. So I'm not sure I'd say that it's &qu

The sea is a harsh mistress, but if anything is going to lend itself to seaworthiness, something solid state like solar panels makes a lot of sense. Especially if we can work out flexible/durable panels. More sensitive electronics and

Agree on the points that you should never need to abstract over your database, orm, message queue, etc. Disagree on dependency injection. I came from the globals/patch everything school of python, to the Fastapi/Pytest DI flavor,

This comment demonstrates a tremendous amount of naivete about the Cpython runtime. After PyObject itself, the GIL mutex is probably the next most important data structure in the entire codebase. It's not "someone not being bother

The GILectomy project was able to maintain thread safety on refcounting while (mostly) preserving performance by basically using some clever flags in the refcount to signal specific lifetimes/ownership (simplification for brevity). So

I understand your frustration, but the poetry team's response makes sense. The situation you got yourself is quite strange. System package python environments are notoriously nasty (frankly they were a mistake, but they emerged before

Absolutely. You should almost never be pip-installing global things (of course there are circumstances, but you should know exactly why you are choosing to do it, vs an env). Vanilla pip works well with the venv module. I still manually man

It almost always starts benign: keep the bins out of sight except for trash days. But sooner or later some power-hungry busybody takes over and the next thing you know, citations are flying left and right.

Fire's natural state is burning only at standard temperature and pressure (or greater). If you look at the "average" state of all space in the universe, fire is not stable.

I use a very linear mall style layout. But the difference in my design is each module juts out orthogonal to the main bus and tiles linearly. So as the bus grows, each "spine" grows outward to increase capacity. But it can't

Looks like Pynecone uses Fastapi under the hood, which is a huge win for me. I can't stand "the Django way" of doing things and find Fastapi's philosophy much more harmonious with the way I think. So if you are the kind

I think the big difference is on Mastodon, you have way finer-grained control over what content you are exposed to. Twitter is more like one giant global state, so if there is toxic content, it can leak to way more eyeballs that don't

I love the concept. It's really unique. I think the per-page cost is a bit high, especially given lack of editing. I think editing ability should be the first bridge to cross, even if it's really crude like delete-and-replace.
