A few reasons, not least of which is consistency with function/method signature declarations. Also, that style is only more familiar if you're coming from C, C++, Java, &c. However, the style in the PEP is pretty common in lan

Not an IDE, but you should really check out Termux.

LSP came out of Liskov's work on CLU (amongst other things). CLU didn't have inheritance, though it did have have 'interface specifications'. LSP is most properly thought of as pertaining to interfaces rather than inheri

LSP doesn't specifically deal with inheritance; it's equally applicable to interface implementation.
635.
by talideon 10y ago
That's a very narrow reading of LSP. If you're dealing purely with interfaces, LSP is still just as useful. In that case, if two types share the same interface, it should be possible to substitute objects of one type for those o

Good and useful work has come out of the LHC, enough to make it more than worthwhile. It's just that some of the big hopes don't seem to have panned out.

...and significantly easier than the old GNATS-based system that preceded it. There have been active efforts within the project to make this sort of thing much easier for newcomers than it used to be.

Not really: people can point at the stability of the Fifth Republic and compare it against the previous regimes, which were quite the opposite. That creates a lot of inertia against scrapping a system of Republican government that currently

Very, very little direct effect. While the EU might part-fund the ESA, it's not an EU body. The effect will be indirect, mainly due to reduced funding to UK science and less collaboration between scientists in the UK and those in the E

There's no venting or contours, and just two materials: meta and carbon fibre. Personally, I find the carbon fibre much more pleasant to rest my wrists on than metal and it looks quite nice in person. The thing that looks like venting

That's rather interesting. A little bit of anecdote: I'm Irish and come in at about 170cm. When I was younger and in college (around 2000), I was definitely just (and we're talking 1/2cm here) ever so slightly slightly a

I think practically everywhere in Europe did that in the '80s and '90s. We'd get milk and yoghurt in primary school in Ireland back then. Don't know if the practice continued past '95, though.

Don't know Scala, but I'd assume that `+:` is prepend to list and `:+` is append to list.

Well, prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Ireland (which, for the gallery, was essentially an Anglo-Norman puppet state of the Kingdom of England and Wales), Ireland was essentially a independent state, except without any kind of s

Given the EU is a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement (EEA membership would preserve freedom of movement, which is essential to the GFA), if the UK government wanted EEA membership and the Germans vetoed it, they could likely throw that

The political fallout from that was manageable during WW2, but now, not so much. Unionists and Loyalists would have a fit at even the suggestion of border controls between NI and GB.

The problem isn't Schengen: the problem is freedom of movement. These are two different things, even if people confuse them all the time. If there's no freedom of movement between the UK and the EU, then the Common Travel Area is

I don't mind pkg-config that much: if anything, it's one of the more sensible portability mechanisms out there.

A better, more neutral term would be 'topolect'. It's a better translation of the term 'fāngyán' (which is typically translated as 'dialect'), and blurs the line between the English terms 'dialect&#x2

It's important to note that Ars was intended to be satirical. However, when it was rediscovered, a lot of the context surrounding it was lost, so people too it seriously... and it became the basis of courtly love and thus modern romanc

All very true. Part of the reason why the effort flagged was that suddenly there were these high-quality machines with a BSD userland around. Un/fortunately (depending on your perspective), Apple haven't put a tonne of effort into

That's a consequence of that software being written with only Linux in mind, not a problem with the BSDs as such. Also, somebody needs to write a port, and the only person who'll do that is somebody with skin in the game. Obviousl
