I'd love an invite, if any remain. Email address should be in my "about".

Making a library that can be linked into a C program is interesting because it can also be linked into a program written in pretty much any language. OpenSSL is awful, but it has bindings to pretty much any language that you want, so it&#x2

So, MySQL, as of 5.7, no longer accepts dates with year 0, and it also stopped converting unrecognized date strings into the date 00-00-0000? That would be a very positive change.

Absolutely wrong. You don't need a ton of math to wire up a house, so should electrical engineers stop taking math clases? Of course not, you'd be an idiot to hire an electrical engineer for that job. Likewise, if you're just

You can sort of do this with type (and this probably makes python purists really angry, but I've done similar once or twice): def make_window(x1, x2): lo, hi = sorted( (x1, x2) ) window = type('Window', (obj

We explicitly ask people to include their needs in this. They are people, they have needs - ignoring that is stupid, in my opinion. If we have someone on staff who is contributing greatly to the company but has high mortgage payments, and

Yeah, Xen supports live migration as well (at least, libvirt supports live migration of xen backends: http://libvirt.org/migration.html ). I would be interested in hearing why the big providers aren't apparently using i

Were the issues you hit being addressed by neovim ( https://github.com/neovim/neovim )? They seem to be pretty interested in making a more extensible vim.

Is there a document on how GitHub uses MySQL? Does it actually store git objects (either as binaries or in a logical equivalent with foreign keys, etc), or is the database just used for higher-level things, like users, organizations, etc?

MySQL is already owned by Oracle though, right? How much worse can it get?

Ah, very interesting. Thanks for the info!

No worries, it won't be long before a helpful mod comes along to change the title to "Issue 62938: Barometer driver hangs and kills accellerometer on its way." Enjoy the context we have until that happens.

No, not in the same way at all. GPLv2 was strictly a distribution agreement. If you want to distribute a GPLv2-derived work, you must offer its source to anybody who gets the binary. That's using copyright law; you would normally have

You are definitely correct; it's really the combination of py3 using generators more frequently (which is a definite good thing) with the py3 repl not evaluating them that keeps me going back to py2 for my repl needs. A more fair compa

by tsuraan 13y ago
Yeah, it's definitely something that can be worked around, but it's something I don't have to get around in python2, so I keep using python2. Nothing truly major, just a sticky point.

by tsuraan 13y ago
The biggest thing that drives me nuts about py3 is just that its repl doesn't evaluate generators. I'm sure they had their reasons, but I use python as my go-to calculator, and when simple operations with maps/ranges give me

T-Mobile's network coverage isn't exactly stunning, but if you have a phone that supports wifi dialing (which I think currently means android and winphone?), then you're on the t-mobile network whenever you have wifi access.

If there were a 100% effective vaccine against lyme's, I'd still check myself for ticks at the end of the day, and remove (and incinerate) any that I found. Ticks are nasty, whether or not they can give you diseases.

I'm confused on what information the HEAD request gives after a chunk has failed. Suppose a client concurrently uploads chunks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; chunks 2 and 4 fail, and the rest work. What information does the HEAD give to tell the client

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be expedient for Intel to call it amd64, but of all the nicknames for that arch, I do hate x64 the most. Do people think x86 was a line of 86-bit processors that got slimmed down to make the x64 line?
