You are not making useful comment because you don't understanding the use case. Python 2 is very useful in handling binary data. This complain is not about unicode. This is about binary files manipulation. I'm thrill about the uni

In Java, String and Char are two separate types. In Python, there is no separate char type. It is simply a string of length of 1. I do not have great theory to show which design is better either. I can only say the Python design work great

What you are looking for is imap(). In Python 2 there are entire collection of iterator variants. You can choose to use either the list or the iterator variants. The problem with Python 3 is the list version is removed. You are forced to us

Thank you. This is good to know. I was rather frustrated to find binary data handling being changed with no easy translation in Python 3. Here is another annoyance: In [207]: 'abc'[0] + 'def' Out[207]: 'ad

Keyme, you and I are the few that have serious concern with the design of Python 3. I started to embrace it in a big way 6 months ago when most libraries I use are available in Python. I wish to say the wait is over and we should all move t

This is just a lot of nitpicking, parroting of common wisdom, plus uninformed opinions and misapplication of use cases. To complain about SimpleHTTPServer is not for use as production public web server is ridiculous. That was never its inte

And a lot of this is probably a rehash of those WTF moments the founders have with their girlfriend. Look at this statement: <i>(the second co-founder) suggesting we meet for coffee as he “would enjoy meeting” me. He made no inquiry

I have some idea on the discrepancy. Neither party are being deliberately disingenuous. It is more of a point of view issue. This mess take a long time to fix even in the best circumstance. So it is natural for EJ to still feel violated and

tptacek, in the scenario that I've construct, if you misconfigured an app that result in an astronomical bill, we you pay it without contest? Will you do it if you have to sell your house to pay off the phone company?

I say is telecom should not be allow to gouge consumers. They should not charge consumer an amount that is clearly not agreed upon. If you have misconfigured an app on your phone and it run up $10,000 network charge in month. Will you hand

I agree. This is robbery! Completely anti-consumer! No sensible consumer or business could have pay this kind of service charge. Telstra could have easily block access to any individual with excessive network activity. The judge should reje

Ask yourself honestly if you are unhappy. This alone is a big reason to move. For me being unhappy is even worst than being pay poorly. The tech job market is very hot lately. You should check out your option out there.
