Great example of Newspeak you have there. "the press, the proxy of the elite and wealthy" will have no problem signing this, so this is not an attack on them. You even acknowledge this by saying > by "The Press" we&#x

I don't think that's an accurate metaphor. Seatbelts are expressly a runtime solution to car crashes, whereas Python's type checking is a) only done during development (not even during build), and b) completely reliant on thi

According to the article, that's not what is happening. The update itself completes fine; it's the updated firmware that is buggy, and seems to cause/require a reset of the ECU while in operation. Not that that makes it any l

In DuckDuckGo you should be using !py rstrip, that's what the bangs are for. But yes, in general most of the good (third-party) python resources have been killed by SEO spam.

In terms of actually documenting something, examples are not documentation at all -- they are merely illustration. The annotations accompanying the examples (if any) are better documentation than the examples themselves.

The Dutch pronunciation of javascript differs from the English one only in the first syllable. Roughly zero dutchies would insert the Dutch schr- sound in a loanword, and even fewer would do that while leaving the foreign -ipt suffix intact

I thought amyloid-β buildup is usually determined at autopsy? That's not really the kind of diagnostic medicine I'm looking forward to. Can it also be determined via brain biopsy?

Putin is a typical strong man/tribal leader: his support depends on his machismo (it's something Trump tries very hard to emulate with his constant punching down). The problem is that strong men don't lose wars. Putin knows t

Why does it imply that? You only need one side to consistently antagonize the other and turn everything into us-vs-them rhetoric. The other side can either choose to ignore it, try to maintain higher-level discourse, or start playing the sa

In that light, it's odd that they specify a polling rate at all, since they use direct-attached key pins linked to an 48MHz clock. There is no grid/matrix sensing period, which is usually what is meant by polling rate. And the cla
