> It's easy to write Python 2 code that seems to work fine but immediately crashes when it has to process Unicode. But if your Python 3 code works at all it'll probably handle Unicode fine, or at least handle it better than nai

You don't have to it's not like PSF made Python 2.7 stop working on January 1st 2020.

What you're talking about Have you tried to run VB6 code in latest VB? Things are getting broken all the time, the major mistake IMO what PSF did is giving 10 years to migrate code. Everyone waited to middle of 2019 when they actually

Well, if you compile python 2 code using Cython you also can run it in Python 3. But seriously: - C never did such change, it doesn't make as much sense for it to do it since it is low level - C has a type static typing, so if they did

Ruby is a comical example, because they did breaking changes in minor version (I think it was 1.8 to 1.9?). The thing I think they did better though, is they didn't give people 10 years to fix their sh*t. You either moved on or you sta

Actually I did some small tests, and you could mix python2 and python3 code together through use of Cython. You can use Cython to compile your python 2 code into .so objects and then include them in Python 3. Then you can progressively migr

Speaking of wasted time, this reminded me. I was interviewing during the time covid started and everyone started working from home. I was interviewing with a company. I had a call with recruiter then with a hiring manager. I also got a proj

It is still worse than it was. Yesterday I got local mail that was mailed a week ago and most of the time my mailbox is empty. Their Informed Delivery service (where I can see what mail is being delivered to me) now says my address is not c

Maybe as a joke, I doubt anyone would think that DeJoy is responsible for delaying mail for 100 years. Meanwhile I have significant less mail, and on mail that had a stamp I see it took them a week to deliver it (this is local mail, not int

Yep, when implementing a simple OS for a class, it is clear that the 640KB limitation was imposed by the hardware at the time, not the DOS. So it wouldn't even make sense for him to say it, unless it was more akin to "it's en

A lot of people are forgetting that those companies have full control over what the wake word is or how the wake word mechanism works and can change it remotely.

There was an article recently about Google service notifying owner that the batteries in smoke detector need to be replaced (based on the chirp sound noises the smoke detector does). This shows that at very least the "wake word" c

The 1976 swine flu vaccine was similarly rushed and look how it turned out. I trust scientist to provide something that is safe, but if their decisions are overridden by a politician (doesn't matter whether Republican or Democrat) that

And not working that's actually the better outcome of a bad vaccine. It could also have side effects that are worse than COVID-19.

That's why they want to absolutely make sure it won't cause a damage. The vaccine in 1976 was rushed for political reasons and that didn't end up well besides hurting many people it is also still used as an argument why you s

especially right now, a failure when so many are paying attention (and large part of population is now anti-vaxers) could actually ruin the company.

I heard somewhere that we should be prepared for middle of next year. They don't want politics to influence the safety of it. Releasing a vaccine that would cause damage would be devastating for the company. I'm wondering how do t

I did not have any service on my unit yet. That's the point. There's a reason why cell phone batteries die after year or two, while batteries in hybrids or EVs can last 10 years.

That's strange way to put it, when the European countries typically fight to join NATO. In that region no one trusts Russia, and they want to be part of NATO to increase their chances of not being invaded. In fact Ukraine was on track

Will they though? US would normally provide support for them which would help a lot, but current WH won't do anything that goes against Russian interests.
