Going to have to disagree with the criticism of gevent. The monkey-patching is very robust, despite the fact that monkey-patching is a sin in general. I've never had any problems with it, with the exception of third party native module

They don't affect performance, but I have to agree they really don't look nice to read or write, which is unfortunately the antithesis of Python's philosophy.

I don't know about "very", but it's pretty verbose and very imperative. You have to do a lot of repetition, often straight up code copy+pasting, in some cases.

Raph Koster is now one of the founders of a company developing a new MMO, Crowfall. The devs claim it will take a lot of inspiration from UO. http://crowfall.com

I'll agree with you on the grinding (both in UO and in general), but UO's PvP was some of the best ever done.

I take it you're probably not a huge fan of Golang? :)

You're right, my statement makes no sense given the way I wrote it. Sorry. I clarified in my other reply that I meant "out-of-the-box" debugging and error messages, like what Elm is providing here at compile time.

Debugging a C application which has already crashed without debugging/logging is what I meant. Assuming you don't add any specific debugging or exception handling code, in dynamic languages you're guaranteed to get at least a

They are a different layer, but they're the only effective way of debugging most C programs.

Very impressive work. I feel like these kind of helpful error messages will become the norm within 10 years, and people will look back at coredumps, C++ exceptions, and even Ruby/Python exceptions as confusing and archaic.

I know there are good reasons why it's not included, but a pet peeve of mine is when sites like these do not allow you to sort by viewer count. I think sorting options would be useful for this, especially once more people start streami

France's intelligence agencies are known to engage in this same kind of economic espionage, including against the US. Not that that necessarily makes it right for us to do it, but any outrage from France's government is feigned.

This is also now in Python 3, both for single and double splats.

That is an excellent analogy. (Not being sarcastic.)

Seconding this. Peewee is a breeze to set up and use compared to SQLAlchemy.

I would not call this underused. Every Python tutorial I've ever read teaches this as the proper way to handle file IO, and explains what context managers are.

Very well-written. The suspense was absolutely killing me as well.

The UK is actually much less progressive than the US when it comes to censorship and filtering. There is no Internet filtering of any kind by any ISP in the US; it's illegal for a common carrier to filter traffic in that way. Some lobb

That's pretty interesting. "Horse" is a generic insult for an ugly person, often a woman, in US slang, but "mare" has no significance.

You make a valid point, but many years of work have gone into the monkeypatching at this point. If you use the latest version, it's very rare to find a place where it fails. It's usually only an issue if you're dealing with a

He doesn't seem like a sociopath. More like a power-hungry narcissist. He expressed regret and hesitation multiple times over (what he thought were) the murders, but simply insisted "it had to be done". Not to detract from yo

A woman referring to a company as "he" or "him" is just as weird, in my opinion. This isn't a gender issue, it's an anthropomorphizing issue.

The thing that really baffles me is that Go/Google have invested so much into tooling for the language, yet didn't bother to implement official tools for the most important feature of any language: package and dependency managemen

A more conservative approach to macros would also just be... generics.

by rudolf0 11y ago
Isn't comment-driven code generation kind of the definition of a "feature request implemented in a half-hearted manner"? People asked for generics and got this. It seems like the kind of suggestion most language designers wou

The amount of l-theanine in green tea is quite small compared to what you get from pills. From my own personal experience and from what I've read on nootropic discussion boards, to really feel significant effects you need more l-theani

I also wonder if it's something intrinsic to coffee, or just a result of the caffeine. Stimulants like caffeine can improve blood flow and potentially stave off arterial plaque build-up.

I think sticking with one product to start off with is a good idea, but I'm not sure a radio was the right choice.

QUIC, Google's experimental TCP replacement (at least for web traffic), does in fact prevent IP spoofing. It uses token authentication instead of a handshake like TCP does. Spoofing discussion is actually the very first paragraph in it
