Python should institute "migration" notices on all of the 2.x documentation, making it clear that the intent of the community should be to move to Python 3. I know they plan to support Python 2 for a while longer, but no reason th

It does depend whether the particles are drawn using shaders or the simpler canvas drawing commands. Without shaders, it would be very CPU intensive. However this site has definitely taken the shader approach.

I would imagine that this wouldn't normally be as big of an issue if it wasn't a service offered in SF or NY, where there is already a lot of animosity around wealth and its impact on the community around it.

Getting a haircut, or getting disposalists to handle rubbish, are both professions which require a degree of training and experience. I'm paying for a service I could not do myself. I feel like having a person deliver food or do my lau

Is time to contribute to open-source really a factor when deciding on place of employment? Seems overly idealistic and unreasonable for start-ups given the serious budget and time restrictions. I don't understand the outrage in the sub

CJK characters are stored in the range 3400–4DBF and 3400-4DB5 (could be others, but those are what Google comes up with first). You can use JavaScript regular expressions to check for Unicode ranges. The challenge is that Unicode uses UCS-

It's not in Lenovo's interest to voluntarily recall anything, unless they wanted to save face, but I would imagine consumer expectations on Lenovo are different than, say, a car manufacturer. But unlike a car manufacturer, I doubt

In more than a few buildings I've worked in, these 'destination controlled' elevators shine the moment after a fire-drill and a couple of hundred people attempt to get back upstairs. It must be quicker, how else to justify wh

Having just spent a month travelling through Japan, I can attest to the brilliance of the Translate app even before this update! That said, the Android version seems more feature rich than the iOS version (maybe I just don't know where

Nowadays Pocket Wifi's or data SIMs for your phone/tablet are fairly cheap and ubiquitous, if you're travelling to the parts of the world supported by the feature, you'll likely have a decent connection.

Uber isn't a publicly traded company, so certainly not illegal from the perspective of insider-trading. Plus the article makes it very clear that it is a leaked document, and that its authenticity should be suspect as a result. Even if
