I didn't see your original post. But I'm delighted to hear that things have improved. There's no doubt that stress in your career can lead to stress at home. Certainly, when I'm stressed about my work (or when my wife is

There are very, very few breaking changes within Python 3. If you're an individual user, then upgrading to the latest version is almost certainly a good idea. But there are lots of companies that release software using Python. To ensu

He did go with the AWS free credits. And then spent a long time getting angry with me and trying not to pay me, because I had supposedly cost him so much, and he wanted to dump the other server company. Sigh.

A good point; I'm not sure. But Moroccans are typically not that dark. I'm guessing (and this is truly a guess) that if vitamin D and/or exposure to sun has something to do with it, then skin tone is a factor but might well

Wow. I guess there is some good news in 2020, after all! I wrote a monthly column for LJ for 20 years (!), and loved it, both as an author and as a reader. (I also loved hearing from people around the world who read it. Many of the subsc
