Interesting. Is this a public service? Could you please give an url to know more about it? Thanks

As battery tech improves, by definition we are going to reach ever increasing energy densities, ideally on the order of magnitde of hydrocarbons'. Moreover, people will want for devices to charge fast. This implies a lot of waste heath

On top of that, there is the notion of change set _obsolescence_: a change may be replaced by a newer one, effectively replacing it.

Talking about flexible mutable history, there are two more official extensions to be mentioned: - evolve [0], which allows to rewrite history lossessly (without ever risking losing data) - absorb [1] which takes uncommitted working copy cha

SMS used to be an important revenue source for telcos. Basically they were charging for a best effort service on a signalling side channel. Free money.

This is indeed true in many cases, but not always. If your application is a client-side GUI you may not want to restart it on reconfiguration. This applies to other things as well: think about having to restart your reverse proxy/load

Building a _runnable_ system is yet another ability, though. This may not apply to you specifically, but - for example - think about: - clear error messages (with the actual data that caused it, minus privacy-sensitive information) - possib

I just wanted to mention that this is taken from the blog of Martin Sústrik, one of the original authors of ZeroMQ.

Good news is Video Background Play Fix is among the (admittedly few) extension that are enabled in Firefox for Android [0]. No need to use the nightly version. How badly Mozilla messed up with Firefox on Android is worth another topic, howe

I disagree. The definition of what is high and what is low frequency depends on what you are comparing. If you are comparing electric capacitances of electric circuits vs the thermal capacitance of a macroscopic object, 1 Hz might be a high

I love my induction cooktop, but you are right: that gesture becomes impossible. Somewhat I manage :)

Hg in itself is alive and well. Interacting with git repositories works well with hg-git. But it is true that, for the mindset of the general public (or younger developers), it might well be nonexistent. It is a shame, since life with mercu

Nit: in py3 map() and filter() are lazy (they return iterators instead of lists). You can better mimic their semantics using generator expressions "()" instead of list comprehensions "[]".

by muxator 5y ago
The map() function is already lazy (in python 3 it returns a generator, and not a materialized list). You can also have a look at "generator expressions", which are the lazy counterpart to a list comprehension (hint: use " ()

And a big thank you for the dataclasses module, and for making the life of the whole python community a little easier!

If a dev team cannot self-discipline itself in maintaining a module, is it wise to entrust it with the responsibility of a whole service? I'd rather work on better mentoring the single members.

Until Mozilla disables bookmark keywords on the desktop browser, too (on the android version they have been nuked already).

You can't use SQLite from multiple threads if you are in single thread mode [0]. If you are in multi-thread mode you can use multiple connections to the DB from different threads, or if you want to share a connection then you have to s

First of all, thanks for marginalia.nu. Have you considered stored compressed blobs in a sqlite file? Works fine for me, you can do indexed searches on your "stored" data, and can extract single pages if you want.

My current favorite cache for whole pages is a single sqlite file with the page source stored with brotli compression. Additional columns for any metadata you might need (URL, scraping sessionid, age). The resulting file is big (but brotli

Firefox sync and Chrome sync came out about the same time if I remember correctly. The first release was in Firefox 4.0, but Mozilla Weave (the addon that eventually developed into the first version of Firefox Sync) existed since 2007, befo
