Well, you're also missing things like the onerous process that some of the processors would have you go through to sign up. While I haven't been the person to actually setup a Stripe account, my impression is that it's pret

There's a pretty wide spectrum between "do whatever you want" and "let's implement thought-crime." I don't understand how me saying that something is a bad idea for anyone to do somehow becomes "polic

It's a question of "do you charge 3% more for credit card payments to cover the charges from the credit card companies, but leave off that fee for non-credit card payments?" Most credit card companies _don't_ want you to

The positive sentiment is because they are a credit card processor that has a good API and supporting libraries. For some payment processors you are stuck with "here is our Java Middleware and this is the only thing you are allowed to

Pillow is a fork of PIL -- the Python Imaging Library -- which had become unmaintained ('PIL' is in 'pillow'). It's the go-to image manipulation library on Python.

But making that shit turn up everywhere just normalizes it. People start seeing those things and agreeing with them, no matter how "ironically" he intending them to be taken. Ideas like "let's get Donald Trump elected fo

As much as you say that, repeating something over and over eventually normalizes it no matter how much you try to remain conscious of this process.

I misread your post then. For some reason, I thought that you were arguing that only refugees were affected by the EO.

I recall people with valid green cards having issues getting back into the country under the original EO. Even people with (e.g.) Canadian citizenship that were born in said countries were having issues... or people born in Canada whose

I'm just stating that the real question about how good this will be or not will be what happens in practice. If not enough employees are volunteering for this, then entire program could end in failure. Will there be pressure to make t

Well, where the rubber meets the road here is in whether or not there is an unspoken expectation that you need to do this, compensation or not. "Official" policy doesn't always reflect what gets implemented, and is sometimes

That's not a requirement of anonymous callbacks. That's just a symptom of poor coding standards. It can happen in Python too.

You're declaring the function within that scope. You can do this in other languages too. In Javascript, I can declare a function within a scope too: function myFunc () { var myFunc2 = function () {}; return myFunc3().then(m

The one thing that I miss in Python is true anonymous functions. Perl has them. JavaScript has them. Ruby has them. Python just has lambda functions which can only evaluate an expression.

I'm taking about using the 'Authentication: ' headers, not relying on the browser's handling of auth (other than making the requests).

Maybe I'm missing something, but is the general consensus on HTTP Auth that it's poor security? I've seen is suggested a lot of (e.g.) authentication in webapp <=> api scenarios. Specifically to use it to pass the initi
