Home claims this as well, and I for example have a log of audio clips and transcriptions of all of my google now searches.

I'd say that private methods are double underscored, and protected methods are single underscored, since the goal of the __ is to prevent child classes from being able to use the parent implementation via self.__meth.

What does this offer over and above inbox by gmail + google reminders?

by zardeh 10y ago
The setup for that sounds significantly nontrivial, although interesting.

by zardeh 10y ago
But now you have to manage that deployment which is also nontrivial.

just checking to be sure, your example is essentially original.filter(...).map(...).sort(), which in python would be `sorted([... for x in original if ...], ...)`. I'll agree that sometimes the functional/chainable approach is nic

You work(ed) at reddit, d(o|idi)n't you?

But that requires like entirely rearchitecting the reddit backend to be less efficient. A page has comments a comment has comments a comment has votes a vote has a user That is to say that a vote is a many to many join from user-comment. To

But this is not the only information that wikileaks is leaking, so they seem to ascribe to another definition.

What makes a leak "necessary"? For better or worse, this group believes that practically anything secret should be leaked.

No, my assumption is that there are perhaps 10% of people with high GPAs, and those with a top 1% sat score are no exception.

That costs money ;) Although the gameplay does look really cool.

1,700,000 SAT takers -> 17,000 people in the top 1%. Selecting the top 10% of those gets you 1700 students, which is quite close to the size of Harvard's acceptance statistic (of 2000)

Monkeypatching for debugging, mocking, etc. Most of those are rare, but feasible. Monkeypatching a global as a side effect even rarer, but I think I've done it at some point.

They're no longer optional at that point.

Among other things, someone sent 20 requests for removal of their fonts (each request contained numerous files), and jetbrains requested the removal of ~500 product keys from across GH.

But, (also by the same ideas), most encrypted texts will not be able to be compressed by more than a single bit.

by zardeh 10y ago
That's not true. You can criticize that which you respect, in order to improve it.

Yes and?

Well sure, you could do something like def apply_ctx(ctx, func, *func_args, **func_kwargs): with ctx as __ctx: func(*func_args, **func_kwargs, ctx=__ctx) but you can't do that itself as a lambda. And I con

That still doesn't get you statements. You can't get context managers or exception handling (although you can raise exceptions) into lambdas, I've tried.
