Speaking for myself - I find hitting the normal escape key location natural and easy. Especially when I'm typing fast, I can hit it without accidentally hitting another key (e.g. tab). This might be in part because I'm a tall man,

Wow, this is epic! Nearly 2,000 pages, that's amazing. Weird as it sounds, some of the happiest moments of my life come from deeply studying mathematics like this. When I finally cash out of the entrepreneur game, I'm looking forw

> few libraries actually have a good excuse to do I/O (though logging might be thorny). Yeah, logging would be tricky... Maybe a "logging" capability could be created. Separated from other I/O. Such a capability would

Years ago, I was part of a a guided tour at the San Francisco modern art museum. And they had this wooden sculpture of Popeye (old cartoon character, you can look him up - kind of a tough/strong but lovable sailor guy). It looked old,

Thanks for commenting, good information. It's a useful distinction: perhaps Finland isn't protesting SA's involvement per se. Rather, one can be neutral about that, or even support it... but not support the incompetence of ho

The situation in Yemen is complex. As I understand it, the civil war essentially started in 2014, when a group called the Houthis attempted a military coup, to seize control of the government over the democratic election process. These are

1) Hardware upgrades catapult productivity. Ever gone through the sheer hell of developing on a sluggish, over-taxed computer? For a project like this, the faster build times alone will make HW upgrades worth it. 2) This team has proven the

Don't know why you're being downvoted. As a Pythonista and author of a Python book, I'm really curious. Would you mind suggesting a few aspects of Javascript's ecosystem to look at? Thanks in advance.

Clark, thanks so much for YAML. I love it and use it a lot. It actually increases the day-to-day joy of the work I do as a developer. (While constructive criticism is fine, those rare people who trash it are... nonsensical to me. I'd l

No hostility ever, no, because (a) I freely acknowledge I don't know everything, and (b) I'll not hesitate to say if I don't know something or I'm not sure (or become unsure). People are of course really understanding an

I mean this in the kindest possible way: You're taking what I wrote too literally, and thus missing the point. What I wrote means: if the only Python you know is 2.x, it might close off opportunities for you in the near future.
