   Here's a somewhat-related quote from patio11 that I often refer back to: > Developers have a cultural quirk where they believe that, e.g., "file sharing is not theft" / "manipulating a URL can't be a crime&q

   Jumping in here, but I always suggest just packaging something pretty vanilla outside of a web app due to all the aforementioned specifics and impedence mismatches of deploying web apps. Learning some of the innards of the package managemen

   As all the other commenters have mentioned (separately for some reason..), this is a misleading title.. However, I'd still read some fiction on a backlit e-reader than go through my emails and TODO list on my laptop from the relaxation

    Could os.walk have been changed "under the hood" without a PEP? eg. using — just for example — fast_walk_in_c in _os.so (I understand that adding os.scandir might require a PEP)

    I have always had the slight suspicion that the names for their developer tools are "deliberately" bad. I mean, far easier to replace and supercede "Amazon SZJ" than something generic like "Amazon Messenger". (

    I did the same thing. I solved gapless playback by generating XSPF files and letting a local media player do all the legwork; getting HTML5 to do it seems a little way off.

    Rebutting a claim that the default options are poor by providing instructions to change those settings seems, at best, a non-sequitur.
