This is pretty neat, and shows off some relatively advanced features of the language. And while it's fine for a personal project or in a specific context, please don't do this in a regular Python project, especially in a professio

I think an event based system can apply to a wide variety of domains, but that the consequences need to be understood up front. This means doing things differently than the traditional top down controller approach with synchronous responses

Depends on the target audience. Many customers will be sold on how pretty an app is, sometimes to the point of overlooking missing features. Having a good looking app becomes a competitive advantage, and therefore important to spend time on

Sanitation systems are really old, though. I was impressed with the sophistication of the one present in Glanum, a small (but wealthy) Roman provincial town abandoned in the 2nd century. The sewer system runs underneath the main street: bat

It's just an example of something that the Go team took a decision on, and won't allow you to change. I mean, even Python lets you choose. I don't really have a problem with it however, even if I do prefer spaces.

This is in line with Go's philosophy, they try to keep the language as simple as possible. Sometimes it means an easy thing in most other languages is difficult or tiresome to do in Go. Sometimes it means hard-coded values/decisio

Good news, and I hope it passes the commission. With USB-C there's no real reason to have other standards for charging a cell phone. And with that out of the way, manufacturers can focus on developing a universal wireless charging prot

Depends on how prominently the information is displayed, and the price difference. If I can see the plane type in the list of available flights, and the difference is $15 on a $250 ticket I would choose the non Max flight, all else being eq

A decent amount clearly do, actually. I remember how in discussion prior to the Iraq invasion, there was always someone going on about the need to kill Saddam, or how we needed to invade to prevent terrorist groups (ha!). Now on my Facebook

It'll be a very easy investigation: "pilot error". This way there's no need to dig any deeper.

I know you're referring to the original meaning of the term, but a 10% decrease in global oil consumption in the transportation sector would be a great accomplishment. Not nearly enough of course, but so far we haven't even been a

I wonder if this will mean social and cultural mixing, where Chinese mingle and intermarry with the locals.

This is the danger with high level frameworks, everything is abstracted away, and with a dynamic language like python the black magic can go very deep. If you've ever taken a look at something like Flask or Cherrypi, the difference is

The writing was already on the wall in Europe when the US arrived. There is little chance the allies would have lost, just that all of Europe save probably for the UK, would have come under Soviet rule/influence.

This shouldn't be news. In the sense that it should be just as commonplace as a bunch of 70 year old men being in charge.

This has been my experience as well, viewed from both sides. Additionally, sometimes code reviews for newcomers is more involved because we want to see how the person reasons about the problem. It's also helpful to get astonishment rep

I'll take both, please! This is an old and tired viewpoint, that space is just a huge waste of resources that could be applied to more down to Earth (haha) needs. It's usually used when discussing poverty, though. For the current

If you want to ship closed source code based on other people's hard work, then you should pay. In this case by getting a Qt commercial license.

You'll never make everyone happy... For me the fact that it's RoR as opposed to, say Go or Elixir is a big turn off, because I know it will be slow and eat up lots of RAM. For me tried and true would be Java.

Interesting perspectives on a variety of languages, at first. Then when he says that XSLT is the best language I was thinking that we are very differently minded. So I suppose it makes sense that the Tailspin language is completely incompre

I see your point and it can be true, in particular when the state is officially controlled by a single party, and/or in societies with systematic corruption. And while your examples are also true, I would argue that it's actually

In my experience, there is a non-zero chance that a kernel update will render the system unable to start the display driver. Things may have improved in the last couple years, but I switched to AMD and never looked back.
