Agreed. Calculators in general, yes. The Calculator app on my PC, not so much. I’d also assume people using calculators that much would buy a physical one, it’s much more convinient.

I share my apartment on Airbnb. Counter review is not a thing since (as you said) it’s not possible to see the customer’s review until you post your own (or after the 7-day review window expires, at which point you can’t review the guest an

It is not fair. The same cost in money does not translate to the same cost in efforts to earn trust. This is structural discrimination.

Unfortunately the Imperial Japanese history has been heavily used as a propaganda instrument. Students don’t have much chance to learn the “real” history. What little taught also subjects to double standards, e.g. the Japanese were evil to

I have a friend working at Canonical, and whenever he introduces himself he always includes a brief mention that Canonical makes Ubuntu. I felt it’s very strange (and certainly felt it a little offensive when I first knew him), but came to

One thing to keep in mind is that while huh has an approximate between languages, you might not be able to communicate the same intent across. One such example occurs here in Taiwan. Native Taiwanese use ha (different from Mandarin), but

It is true. Another common case I see is people using fork as a way to snapshot stuff they depend on “just in case” (since forks don’t go away if the original is deleted or overwritten). I don’t do it, but it’s quite common. (source: I aske

I can’t say about Kazakhstan, but anecdotally, a lot of Singaporeans I know (not terribly many) are quite satisfied with, even proud of their country, the government, and the Lee family. The activists are the minority, by a wide margin.

It’s バラン, not バラソ. Surely the New York Times is capable of finding someone who actually reads Japanese to proofread their work?

Hopefully my experience could be useful, having tried rust-qt just a while ago on a project. Bottom line: it is usable. It is pretty trivial if you want to build an almost purely QML app. As soon as you want to do some C++ stuff (e.g. regis

It probably is simply “just because”. Not the first time Linus feels it, IIRC 3.0 was basically bumped for the same non-reason.

I am responsible for maitaining a Python 3.4 asyncio app at work, and recently in charge of building a new (not replacing) system in 3.7. The difference is truly enormous in a very pleasant way.

That’s an interesting thought! I guess I just found a good project to play on during the holidays. I wonder if something like this would work: with matching(expr) as m: @m(pattern) def do_for_pattern(v): .

Another example would be how pip, and venv have some edge case failures on Debian or Ubuntu. Repackaging is a constant struggle, especially when the software adds new features that are not thoroughly tested by the packager. Another caveat t

In case someone is wondering why this only discusses curry being a naval tradition, although both the Army and Navy had the same beriberi problem—the Army solved it the same way as the Navy. Curry is as much a staple meal in the Army as Nav

I feel this is comparing apples to oranges. Computing platforms supporting a new runtime is less about porting existing code, but more like adding a new feature to the code base. You really don’t see much “we port our app from framework&#x2

Personally I feel it is perfectly in line with one of Python’s core mentality, “We’re all grown-ups here.” The bahaviour is like Python lacking real access control: If you don’t think about it, it does not matter[#]; if you need it, it’s in

While I have many issues with the new file systems as well, it is difficult to justify blaming it for Steam not running. Steam for Mac had never ran with case sensitive file systems since its inception, and Valve continuously refused to f

I only see the article mentioning CPU (and GIL) once, but in any case, the generalisation is correct for any pure Python code. You can only release the GIL in extension code (for CPython), and in that point you’re not really dealing with Py

You can't become a state-owned business. You either are (because you have government ties in the first place), or are not (and you are doomed, sorry for that). People have no chance to succeed unless born to the right parents. Even Chi
