:) I get you perfectly, but every exensible system usually has a couple of corners that are not that easily extended as indented. Design choices, tradeoffs or laziness usually involved.

I had the exact opposite experience. I coped with stacking WMs until I got a third monitor -- then it became virtually impossible not to use a tiling WM. :) How on earth do you throw windows from the leftmost monitor to the rightmost easily

And here I was getting excited about newest rumors on Python 4 features...

Does this mean that their size is unbound, or that none of the dinosaurs are of size sup(size)?

I for one welcome the shorthand interpolation. String formatting is the thing we all do all day long (slightly exaggerated pretty much). Now if python would begin to support immutable values by default then I'd be most content, and Pyt

Is making fun (not constantly though) of some bad languages now harassment?

You did not read carefully. Parent implied that the poor cannot afford self-driving vehicles any time soon.

I don't think it goes at all without saying?! Are all CEOs obliged to use MS Office, arguably inferior editing experience to pure text editing, or be doomed to yakshaving their dotfiles?

I think that simple content such as blogs, news and the equivalent should not be implemented in js-dependent web apps. Web browsers are a platform for sure, but the simple content should stay simple.

Well I'm thinking along the lines, "low-polluting equipment is most likely more expensive => the company is held slightly back by demanding new standards". Maybe some regulation is needed, some is not. And all of it is by

Regulations by definition are for holding rapidly advancing industries back, for various reasons.

This must be false, or a mistake on MS' part. For example, what about the users who have perfectly valid full Win 7 licenses (that you can move from a PC to another) would be forced to upgrade to a partial Win 10 license that invalidat

Yes. It is infuriating to hear the phrase "PC or linux"

"I like your music. Would you like to compose something for our movie/game?" Is this too far fetched?

In Finland, Diesel is noticeably cheaper than gas (currently below €1.20 per liter vs gas ~€1.45) and there's an offset in the yearly "diesel powered vehicle" tax that is around €350-€400 a year, depending on weight. That off

At first glance, yes. Needs a moment to think this through. But not a wat because this works exactly as the logic says. If we denote x = [] then bool(x) == False # empty list is falsy bool([x]) == True # nonempty list is t

Besides the mentioned debunks of wat, the all([[[]]]) == True makes perfect sense, because the all all does is check the truthiness of the argument's elements. An empty list is false, non-empty is true, no matter the contents.

You know, nobody actually enforces that project version is being increased responsibly, with regards to semver.

I'm surprised to read about this direction, however little practiced it may be. JIT never was for the fastest of applications but in-time optimization should (and has, in some occasions) reach and even exceed the speeds of precompiled

The rhetoric that I have read on the opinions is that the workers should still be paid for 40 hours. It is debatable if the loss of productivity is that pronounced, but in overall this scheme would be more expensive to all parties. Let&#x27

Isn't this more about repeated iterations than recursive calls to itself?

This statement is easy to reason about: there will always be people who just won't learn lisp, forcing there to be at least two different languages! :-)

I do recall encountering a similar X-server--HTML-bridge in the early 2000's. It also was a remote server with store for working files type of service, but free as I recall.

I find myself in this group as well: I don't think I ever used more than 3 "serious" apps in my phone. The alarm clock is one of them.

Yes. And in any case -- I haven't signed any agreements to view ads in the sites I visit. They have the right to deny adblockers, but also if they don't block us, it doesn't pose an ethical question.

From the title I readily thought about the Windows kernel and how it can't be tweaked and recompiled and improved like Linux. Now I know better...

If the content is good, there's no need for fancy styles or images. In this case, though, the content is not super duber either. But I wouldn't call it a wall of text, especially with paragraphs so small.

by pvdebbe 11y ago
"A wall of text" used to mean a large body of text, unparagraphed and hard to follow. The author's prose may not conform to all points of Strunk & White, but it doesn't look a wall of text to me. (The youngsters t

Cool, but most web sites wouldn't allow to upload a 5-MB picture as a profile picture. Or do they, these days?

But couldn't you put that in /etc/fstab?
