   Js has no import system. Bundlers do, and they are terrible at it though.

   Yes but I do understand the problem. E.g learning packaging in python is a terrible experience, not because it's hard, it's really not, but because of the noise we accumulated.

   Namespaces are useful for library providers and os packagers to split sub features of one package and distribute the chunks separately. It will virtually merge dirs with the same name under some circonstances, and won't be importable i

   Is a simcard always supposed to have the same ip ? How would ip spoofing would affect the phone network ?

   What old way ? %, zfill, strftime, or some hack with len() ? Having a unified syntax with all formatting needs is a big deal.

   I'm training people in Python regularly and my classroom experience is: ALWAYS USE __INIT__.PY EVERYWHERE. Don't use this namespace feature. You think you understand how it works, but you don't. It will bite you.

   2 new syntaxes a years is not a not. I find it quite balanced for a 25 years old language. It's funny, because I always hear people complaining Python move too slowly to stay modern on one side, and then right after some other people s

   Python has taken many things away, hence the 2 to 3 transition. And people didn't like it. Not one bit. We even had to bring features back (u'', %, etc) after taking them away. Now I agree, if I could snap my gantlet I would

    This debate already took place. Go back to the python-idea mailing list posts about f-string for a complete back and forth on your point.

    Despite being so cool, it's also a very under utilized feature, as it inherits all the formatting capabilities of format(). With format(), and hence with f-string you can: # Replace datetime.stftime() >>> f"{datetime.now(

    Love it. It's missing a qrcode with a date, uuid, total, tax and unguessable url to the items list and prices (or gzipped json of it) so that we can finally scan import receipts with software. Qr codes should be mandatory on most paper

    Google is supposed to be nothing. They are here to make money, and they will follow whatever rules that let them do that as long as we let them. They are not a public service.

    I see Uber more like providing the network and the app, not like the service provider. The service is provided by an independant contracter on which Uber has little control over. In fact, a lot of drivers use several apps like Uber, and som

    Why complain to uber ? It's the driver's fault. What would be the corrective action anyway ? That none of their drivers ever make any mistake ?

    No, what Python suggests is just returning the value you sort on, or a tuple of the values to sort on. cmp() is deprecated because there is seldom reason to use it anymore. E.G: Sorting words according to their number of letter is just:

    Your comment is very arrogant in itself, also I'm mature enough to not type those kind of comments with my real identity, or police myself at work. HN is merely a fun forum, not a career.

    That's my point. They may be people like him for a new type of insuline pump. We can't, as citizen, hope to compete against pharmaceutical companies. That doesn't mean we can't do anything.

    And the local girl may not want you. And the local club may not have the culture you want. And the local market may be not hold your favorite products. And the local schools may not be the right for your children. There is always something.

    I get it personally. Remote requires better communication skill, and additional tooling and management to work around time differences. Besides, I know many people that are not as productive at home.

    Do you know what the Netflix culture is regarding remote work ? I've been looking for a job for the first time in 10 years of Python, and Netflix is one of the rare big companies that I still have respect for. https://jobs.n

    I read a lot of data analysis, prototyping, configuration, monitoring and deployment, for which Python is very, very well suited. So I don't follow how you got there.
