Having neither had a great family, let alone parents who read to me, I can say school was a catastrophe and I very much agree with OP. The primary lesson of school, the training that happens every hour of every day of school is this: Sit do

With the leverage we're all getting out of the Monaco editor component, can somebody give that team at Microsoft a Touring award or something?

I believe data transmission between the satellites is planned, or at least it was, maybe they dropped those plans entirely.

This is one of the earliest things I wondered with the Trump presidency. If the order came down to e.g. "Nuke Jina!", would they actually follow that order.

I remember a work colleague from Canada asking if it was OK that we were walking across a busy street in Frankfurt Germany. I was a bit confused, but said that, Yes it's OK to walk across the street. In retrospect I might have added, y

Different failure mode. If the cloud goes down, many more people are affected. If your self-hosted thing goes down, only you are affected. If everybody self-hosted, would the overall downtime be lower? Even if it were, would it be worth the

It is not enough for the authority to be knowledgeable, their incentives must also be aligned. If people appeal to the authority to do something, then it may do whatever is expedient regardless of merit. With limited knowledge, I'm inc

Please have a look at lib3to6, I hope you find it useful to convince them to stop writing for Python2.7 only.

In light of the recent Python 3.6 EOL discussion and the resulting comments about Python breaking backward compatibility, I wanted people to be aware of this option for maintaining support for older interpreters. At the price of an extra co

Sounds like a missed opportunity. ASCII maybe could have had BLL, BLM, BLH (low, medium, high) with different frequencies and you could have encoded something in those bells instead of having to count a sequence.

One way to deal with this is to use the element picker mode of uBlock Origin. Often it's not too much of a hassle to just zap the bell icon and be done with it.

Copying is not theft[1]. I know Copyrights != Patents, but the whole idea of intellectual property should be abandoned. It is born out of rent seeking and any benefits it may have were never justified by the costs of the patent system[2]. I

I remember feeling particularly inadequate when watching Google IO presentations in 2018. All these teams of highly payed engineers presenting the work of a year or more within a few days. Not a healthy thing to compare oneself to.

A nice convention in python projects is that you can use setup.cfg or pyproject.toml for many tools and they each just use their particular section.

If you would specify the width/height of the image, you could avoid the page reflow that makes the quicklinks jump down.

Throughput vs latency. Latency is not the absolute best (still fine though) but it can keep up when you accidentally spam your terminal with a huge logfile.
