Interesting indeed! Airpods stand out the least IMO. I guess some things are just subjective.

I thought they look funny (although not ugly) when they first came out. But other designs (e.g. round blob sticking out of earholes) are even worse, and convinience outweighs visibility.

That’s correct. Things only break if you pip install setuptools into the Debian-provided Python globally, not if you use both system-provided setuptools and pip, nor if you pip install setuptools into a venv. IMO neither party really did an

For context, the root cause to this is actually in Debian, not setuptools (or pip). Debian vendor-patches the stdlib distutils, which setuptools used to depend on, but lost in v50 since it does not depend on the stdlib distutils anymore. Th

Half of the argument-parsing libraries contain either “arg” or “opt” due to the initial widespread of getopt or argp. And since both tools parse the arguments into a struct, the choice isn’t that surprising.

It depends on what you intent to do by including a C library. It’s a good choice you want to use that library in your Python modules. If you expect users to link to that library directly, wheels would be a poor choice that leads to never en

The difference is how you consider money on the paper. The problem with China is that you are limited in how you can spend the money you put there; if one of the choices they give suits you, great; otherwise it would be a very bad idea sinc

It has been around for as long as I can remember, and I have been using Mac since 10.3. — Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, it might not be that long since I wasn’t into programming back then and hidden files meant little to me. The first

In this case I believe it’s up to the blog author. Orta is a Mac user (was involved in a package manager, Homebrew? I forgot). The VSCode goes as far as detecting the OS you’re on and shows the most relevent screenshot, so you get Windows o

I argue that China would still reach the current literacy rate had they continued to use Zhuyin. The switch from Zhuyin to Pinyin was entirely political, and the two are basically the same to L1 learners. The significance of Pinyin is that

Whataboutism aside, your analogy is still very off the mark. The government has every right to confiscate products trafficked into their country. The British opium trade was operating under legal contracts until China unilaterally revoked t

Palau has quietly done a lot, for example. The move is particularly intriguing since they rely a lot on tourism, and Taiwan literally can never offer enough to compensate their economic loss. Money is clearly not the goal in this case.

Anyone is free to not buy anything people sell. But you can’t just dump the goods into the sea and besiege the store when you refuse, FYI.

There are quite a handful of countries standing up against the CCP right now. Those with official diplomatic relationship with Taiwan, for example. I get your point though; many European leaders should feel bad (but they don’t, which is the

That’s basically how JIS works, which is the layout that dominates the market later on, and what you’d find on most PCs. The keys has hiragana on them, and a special key is used to switch input type.

They want to relocate not for the freedom and democracy, but for the advantages they can take out of it. If you actually get into the Chinese community, you can hear many of them happily bloat about how well they do in a free society, while

The article has good points, but all of them summed up times 10 is still child’s play compared to the Cultural Revolution proper. I’m sorry, but this kind of sensational labelling is exactly the one thing Americans don’t need right now, and

With several asterisks attached, but yes, the move would make dependency resolution faster.

requests is “clean enough” if you only use the highest level functionalities like making stateless requests and read out the response. I wouldn’t say it fits the description once you go past that. Zen of Python is an illusion. Complex thing

Asians don’t do it more bluntly. Chinese do. Sorry if I sound pedantic, but this is just insulting.

Asking as a non-native speaker, how would you write this sentence instead? I tried but cannot produce any syntactically correct alternative better than this.

The author likely just barely missed its introduction. While the article is written recently, the implementation it talks about was published first in early April 2019, right about when source_text was first introduced into nightly.

To be really pedantic, Conda is a package manager, and it doesn’t really make sense to say “Conda supports PyPy” because Conda does not even know how PyPy is different from any other package it installs.

Can’t speak for China and Singapore, but it’s most definitely not taboo to yalk about this in Taiwan. There is not much compiled information in English (for various reasons I’m not getting into, but ultimately most are just not interested),

“Has everything in one menu” already sounds significantly more complex than Windows and macOS. These days their users don’t meed to do much more than selecting a network (or manually enter hidden SSID) and type in a password. The only other

It’s difficult in practice to distinguish between general and lib-specific flags, becuase one developer thinks is general does not always be considered the same by another, and you either need to magically read developers’ minds, or make a

The news feel under-informed to me. Much of the backlash against Son is carried-over from his other comment to send free masks to medical personnel. People are “wondering loudly” where on earth does he get so many masks when almost literall

GitHub mentions are good—in the pull request thread you open on GitHub. In commit messages, not so much. The same rule applies for issue references; URLs should be preferred (or at least something like GH-XXXX) to simple hashtag numbers in
