Code zh-tw means the Chinese variant used in Taiwan. The technically correct code for Traditional Chinese is zh-hant. It’s an entirely separate issue from the flag, but the developer technically should label the languages “Chinese (China)”

I run some events and hear opinions from both sides often. My take on this is there are basically two types of conferences. A more remote location helps people have more fun hanging out with each other, but a big city venue enable more peop

Videos are good as long as you also provide copyable content. Gifs not so much since I can’t pause.

To be pedantic, Python wheels refer to cheese wheels, not as literal as you’d think.

I feel it’s less about instrumentation but more about Python developers understanding C code.

Reds are also still paying Ken Griffey Jr. Orioles are paying Chris Davis. Nationals are on hook for both Scherzer and Strasburg. I can keep going for quite a while. But everyone will only talk about Bobby Bonilla because New York media mad

I rooted so much for Vala when it first came out. Such good idea to bring the same good ideas to GLib. Alas it was not to be, the (irrational IMO) negativity around this approach killed it before it had a chance.

OT, I just realised now we are in year 2023 a “century” house interpreted literally can apply to something built post-WWI. I wonder how the term would work going forward.

Citation needed. Poetry itself said Composer and Cargo were the main inspirations[1]. Both of them work differently from NPM; Poetry has mostly the same differences that its claim checks out. You would be in quite some surprises down the ro

You totally can, tools such as fontforge even make this pretty straightforward.

I think parent knows. A more accurate description would be everyone of the intended audience was writing assembly. Yes there are other languages of higher levels, but C was not invented to help their users. And since they are also not rea

It is the _Zen_ of Python. Words are naturally elusive, contradiction is harmony.

The geometry is called mini velo and popular in some parts of the world because of the smaller wheels (tighter turns) and overall volume. Most of them are foldable these days but the two don’t technically equate (there are full-size foldabl

I mean, there’s been outcries how the US is overly car-dependent and driving should be a choice not a requirement etc. The parent is onto something if you go with this analogy.

Template language being translated to code is nothing new and certainly not unique to JSX even only when you consider frontend JavaScript frameworks. Vue has been doing that ever since single-file component was a thing. You need to look u

JavaScript is a better, but JSX is not JavaScript. It reuses many features from JavaScript, but you still need some sort of translation (compilation) step to make it useful. In this sense it is not really fundamentally different from any of

Maybe no reasonable developer would (depending on how you define reasonable), but any software project with a non-trivial user base would have unreasonable users. That’s why xkcd 1172 is popular and Hyrum coined it as a Law.

Itano Circus is about the entire choreography of the entire fighting sequence, more than the missiles but combined with unrealistically agile robot actions and dynamic camera placing/movement.

Most of those workflow tools support at least two execution contexts, one for development and one for deployment (`cargo run` vs executing the compiled binary directly, `npm run` vs `node foo.js`, etc.). There are various reasons for the se

A lot of people said they want Cargo for Python but immediately backed out when you require them to `cargo run` their program. They want `python myscript.py` to still magically work, but that’s exactly where a lot of the magic comes from. R

WSGI (same for ASGI) is a level above FastCGI (or CGI or whatever) in the stack; it exists so each Python web framework does not need implement ways to talk to CGI, FastCGI or whatever. Instead the framework implements a Python function, an

It’s how a typical Japanese croquette (koro-kke) looks like, under the crust it has minced beef and mashed potato, not a cutlet.
