Well, there are a bunch of reasons of maintaining the "charade". Firstly, faster languages don't have the ergonomics. Secondly, there's a tonne of Python code out there already that isn't going away any time soon, a

Upstart predates systemd by four years. It solved real problems at the time and they kept it going until Debian transitioned to systemd. Unlike systemd, upstart supported sysvinit scripts, so it made sense to transition when Debian did. Bri

No it doesn't. Just about everything jQuery does is now a browser API these days, so you no longer save time using jQuery vs vanilla JS. The only argument for continuing to use it is that you're used to it and not used to the mode

Consider this: you're doing server side rendering whether it's JSON or HTML fragments you're sending across. They're just different serialisations of the same data. The problem that SPAs were meant to fix was that each u

That's exactly why HTMX was a good fit for this: it covers exactly the kind of Interaction patterns you'd find yourself writing in vanilla JS where React is overkill, except without having to write all that JS. Though I don't

Plenty! If you have largish binary assets of any kind that need to be distributed across multiple nodes, it's fantastic. For instance, if you're in the infrastructure group in a company, and you need to distribute VM images around

Essentially, yes. It's basically looking up the PTR records. If you look at the UI, you'll see them listed in the peer list.

Only if you assume that reducing wages has no secondary effects. But that's never the case. You might get a momentary bump in your balance sheet, but then you have to deal with employee morale issue, deadline slippages, &c., which

Please explain to me what code has FreeBSD "lifted [...] from Linux"? Implementing a useful interface isn't "lifting code".

You're going to have to define what you mean by that first, given there Python packaging landscape has changed quite a bit in the past few years.

They never died out in Europe, and they were paricularly popular in Germany. Interactive fiction had an underground renaissance, and some of the beat work in the genre were produced when it was technically a dead one. I agree that people sh

No, the LoZ series aren't adventure games in the original sense, which encompassed text adventures (now termed "interactive fiction") and point-and-click adventures. You also have the extra hint that this is Ron Gilbert'

Uh, DARPA had nothing to do with the founding of Google. Brin and Page had NSF funding though Brin's graduate fellowship and the Digital Library Initiative, and that was before the official founding of the company. Reference: https:

Yes, I buy physical books. It's for purely practical reasons: the interface is better. With physical books, you can flip back and forth more easily and insert more useful notes. Even things like footnotes and endnotes still work better

No, you left the club. Once you leave the club, you're not entitled to the benefits. You're expecting the UK to be treated specially.

The EU was not being spiteful in the slightest. .EU domains are intended for entities within the EEA. When the UK left, UK-based entities no long had that entitlement, unless you believe you that the UK as a third country deserves to be tre

They have to follow ICANN rules for registry operators, just like everyone else. Google can't simply shut down their registry operations: management would be moved to another registry operator.

Not just that, but the version control system is an actual system of record, while your chat system isn't. But people get lazy because Slack is there and it's "easier" (really, more immediate) than looking at the PR.

I'm not a fan of DMs. While they have their place, they have some massive problems: they create silos and oracles, and reduce visibility. I know this because I'm an unwilling oracle on my team. Part of this can be solved with docu

I don't think it's looking at that: it's looking purely at the type hints themselves. It's the _solver_ (which doesn't run any Python code as such) for the type checker that's Turing complete. I'd recommen

by talideon 4y ago
I'm not at all surprised by this. Accidental Turing-completeness is easy to fall into. Python's type hints take a lot of influence from the likes of, say, Scala, which has a Turing-complete type system, as is Haskell's.

Let's be fair to jQuery: it has served its actual purpose well, and was a huge influence on modern browser APIs, thus making itself redundant. React and jQuery were never competitors.

The Pope is the monarch of a tiny city state, not of all Catholics. The idea that the Pope has any temporal authority whatsoever is the stuff of anti-Catholic fever dreams.
