Huh? What do you mean? That multi-line lambda is not standard Python is it?
It probably sounds insane because you have interpreted my post to mean the exact opposite of what I intended.
If your everyday life is working with Python, there really isn't a part of it that's not going to be repeated over and over.

For example, I slowly go insane dealing with the dumpster full of clownshoes that is python iteration. It's so dumb. I know it's a relatively small thing and only a few small tweaks would fix it, but after about 100 lines or so where I have to deal with it I'm ready to rage-eat my office chair.
It is bad, because the managers take the bulk of the credit and reward, rather than those that actually do stuff.
This issue has long been solved programmatically
and it is a waste of mindspace to deal with it
any other way.

I beg to differ. Aligning code is an art form. And different people like different styles. Your "whatever" approach is one. And there are many others.
I would never allow a new dev to come in and ask us to completely move away from a tech stack in a project that we're already underway in.

It's one thing to try something different in a new project if it can legitimately solve problems we've been having in old projects.

But this idea that you can do that and most "reasonable people" are going to get behind you on it is balderdash. Most reasonable people are going to tell you no because there's not a strong reason to.

Much better to just move on if you don't like the tech they're working in.

And this is coming from someone who dislikes CoffeeScript, and always has. I would never suggest an active project rewrite their CS in something else.

Most billing cycles are by month (rent, water, internet, spotify, ect) so budgets tend to be by month. Obviously I don't know /exactly/ what I make per month, but I have a general idea. I expect this would be fairly similar throughout the US (though I have no evidence backing up that assertion).

No, seriously. Having a feature working somewhere on the internet, is totally different from having it working on Facebook, Google, or Amazon. Usage goes through the roof, because people already know and trust those behemoths.
>I AM a Python beginner, and I was amazed recently to discover that there was no way for me to assemble an executable for an OS I'm not on that didn't involve buying a computer running said OS.

Are you a beginner in general maybe? Because that's either arcane, damn difficult to setup or nigh impossible in tons of other languages too -- even ones that actually do produce executables to work (which Python by default does not).

(And of course you can always just create the executable on a vm -- no need to buy a computer running the other OS).
The real advice in this comment is to not finish your work too early, as the only reward you'll get is more work.
> Not yet - but this feature is already on my todo list ;)

Another interesting feature would be to do some sort of statistical analysis of Chinese text being OCRed and then combining that with possible characters suggested by the OCR. This would almost certainly prevent the mistake in the last two characters of the Chinese movie screenshot.
Yes, everything looks like it works, but occasionally it's completely wrong. I don't think just chugging along is desirable in all circumstances. But even if I accept your premise, that just says to me that Python is a good choice for people who don't really know how to program and don't care to learn too much.

Isn't that being "nationalistic"? Can't you be universal? Come on, Google!
I know exactly what you mean. Only a few feet from me as I type this, I have a bookcase staring me in the face, loaded with books on COM, DCOM, ActiveX, OLE, MFC, ATL, Win32 API, etc. I know I'll never need this stuff again, either because it's obsolete or because I have developed an ideological aversion to any of this proprietary crap. I only have this stuff because it dates back to the beginnings of my career when having some knowledge of the Microsoft way of things seemed like a prudent, pragmatic approach.

Anyway... this stuff sits there, taking up space and maybe bringing back memories, but adding no value otherwise. But I can't bring myself to just pitch them all in the bin. I guess I'm a bit of a book hoarder and I have a hard time getting rid of books.

Hopefully if you get some good answers, it will help motivate me to try and get rid of some of the cruft I have here.

All of that said, I can see how some of this stuff could have value to somebody. Even the Inside Appletalk book could be useful. Maybe somebody who's way into retrocomputing and actually wants to implement an AppleTalk network. Maybe a historian writing a history of computer networking technologies. Or a hobbyist looking for an older, simpler networking standard to reverse engineer and build something off of. Who knows?

One option might be to see if you have a hackerspace/makerspace in your area, and offer to donate some or all of you superfluous books to them, or their members. I think that's the kind of crowd where you might find somebody who actually wants a copy of Undocumented DOS or Inside AppleTalk.

Another option might be to try selling them on Amazon.com.
To me, Reddits new image handling is a pain in the ass. I liked that I could either look at the image/video or read the commments. Now I have no choice but to receive them both at the same time. Videos even start to autoplay.

Also: Is it new that Reddit allows animated ads? I always had the feeling Reddit was a place where I could peacfully interact with others. Lately I am afraid it turns into a page full of animated, colorful distractions that make me feel uneasy.
>so where is that money going to come from?

Please don't use emoji in passwords until UTF-128 comes out.

Half of its code points (2 ^ 64) will be characters whose glyphs are every possible combination of 8x8 bit images. That way you can make monochrome graphics simply with rows and rows of adjacent characters in the enormous sized UTF-128 font.

And imagine how many emojis there will be? There would more than one emoji for every human who has ever lived.

In short, we'll have really safe passwords using characters from UTF-128. So be patient. ;-)
A "great deal" means that in some places these people and those feelings will represented :/

I can't endorse those feelings so you can't ask much more out of me playing devil advocate.
I also follow this approach. I also use these other rules:

var something =
[tab]someReallyLongCallThatWouldExceedMargin()

someObject
[tab].call()
[tab].otherCall(param)
[tab].yetAnother(
[tab][tab]withLong,
[tab][tab]parameters);

I use four literal spaces, but I think this approach would work well with literal tabs. The only problem is most IDEs do not have an expressive enough configuration to do this, nor do I think I could make it easily happen out of the box with tools like indent or gofmt.
Yes I noticed that too; it's most likely an image recognition algorithm paired with a AI tag parsing program generating a related image.
Same in Sweden, regardless of how your wages are structured (monthly salary, hourly wages, performance based) everybody responds with what they make per month when asked how much they make.
My favorite approach is, at the office where I work, you can pile books up on top of the recycle bins, and people often do just that. They'll linger there for a few days, maybe a week, before they get collected to be recycled. Sometimes someone else will walk up and grab one. (I parted with my 3rd edition of Stroustrup this way, with a shiny new 4th edition on my shelf today.)

If you work in a large enough office, that could be a good way to give a decent number of other programmers the option to grab some free books, and anything nobody wants gets recycled.

Most of the things you're talking about are available in other languages. And quite frankly, if pure versatility and available open sourced code is your argument? Then why aren't you using Javascript and nodejs?

The problem generally isn't the SIM itself - it's the form factor. Granted I haven't traveled to China in two years now, but MicroSIM form factor was nonexistent there on my last trip. Many vendors used cheap, shitty handheld punches to get the excess plastic off of normal SIM cards to get them into SIM form factor. This worked about one time out of five - most of the time it just destroyed the SIM card.

Everyone here is taking offense to the word parasite, when it's nearly the perfect definition of the relationship from the first day. Imgur couldn't survive without Reddit, it grew and fed off of Reddit, and it was almost exclusively dependent on Reddit for its early users.

I think a lot of people in this thread don't know that one of the primary definitions of parasite can include not harming the host and generically mean: "an organism living in, with, or on another organism."

And if you question the dependency part of Imgur being a parasite, just wait until you see how things go for Imgur the next few years post Reddit handling its own images. One can thrive without the other, it's obvious which that is.

I think a statically typed language similar to Python might be the holy grail of languages. Maybe Nim, Scala, or even Kotlin could fulfill that role (I have no experience in any of these). Although, I am skeptical if JVM based languages could work well for that given their long start up times.
Unamused. If anything, ambiguous characters should have been excluded. It's a very small reduction of keyspace in exchange for not entering the wrong passwords because of glyph similarities.

Either you're expected to remember these 20-character monstrosities (which is going to be beyond the abilities of most people with 5+ accounts), or more likely you're going to be reading them from a password manager.

Being ISO-compliant is all well and good, but it's been shown many, many times that making password restrictions this extreme causes more problems than it solves.

What so you mean "found malware?" You checked the installer and found that some aspect was malicious or some software you are running said it found malware? As the installer seems likely to cause false positives.

> I often hear: "Ok, where did E come from then?" Well, by definition E was not made. E is not U.

Your logic boils down to the fallacy of special pleading and thus fails. You can't define God into existence by calling him eternal and avoiding the question of where he came from.

> One possibility is that (U=E). Another words, the universe itself must be eternal.

That is the only logical choice.

> In that case, we would expect an eternal cycle to be observed

No we would not, that an eternal cycle might exist does not imply it can be observed or detected.

> However, our best measurements indicate an expanding universe that will never collapse and bang again. There is no support for a Bang-Bang theory which would indicate an eternally cyclic universe.

Untrue, if it expands out to nothingness, nothingness itself is prime to create a big bang as nothing is not a quantum stable state. The real answer is we don't know.

> So the most logical explanation I see is (U,E): that the universe was created (by something that was not created i.e. The Eternal One - aka God).

There's nothing remotely logical about that, you've just invoked special pleading and presumed creation by something is necessary when we in fact know it is not. The universe just is, that's the only logical conclusion we can make from the available evidence.
You've dressed up a logical fallacy in set math to perhaps try and make it seem reasonable, but it isn't, it's just bad logic.

Alignment is what makes ASCII art possible. Without alignment, we might as well be using modern proportional fonts rather than old-fashioned type writer fixed-width fonts (ducks).
We roll out a public beta test with existing customers to ensure performance and reliability before doing a GA release. This allows customers to use the new product and provide feedback as well as help us to ensure a great level of service when the product goes full GA. So it's really a way for customers to test out new products early, but the specific details are specifically light so that if there are any major changes in the beta period we can roll them out.

This is dangerous though because then the reaction is always "oh well yeah they must have been redisposed" with no real evidence other than hear say. It was a side effect, a bad one, that requires more study. This thinking though will lead to "I am fine this won't happen to me" and it could and people should know that.

Arduino developers get extra support

Great! Care to elaborate how that translates into benefit for Arduino developers in general, or those using either of the IDEs in particular?

No? Oh, OK.

So what Techcrunch is saying is that they get zero actual support, but lay down an implication that they're going to get some fresh stuff in their IDEs that is not only better than anything any other IDE has, but also justifies the transition cost. And/or are implying that this won't cause more headache than benefit to existing users as the products get merged.

And what exactly is this claim based on? A nugget of news about an acquisition, the funding they were able to raise, existing userbase size, and an glowing quote from the CEO.

gg, Techcrunch.

The big variables are (rough order) entry airport, the mix of passengers on the exact aircraft you're on relative to your own citizenship/immigration status, the general business (or lack thereof) when the flight you're on gets in [+], and conditions at the airport on the day of your arrival.

If one very consistently flies exactly Delta 6 and is a US citizen, one will very rarely wait more than 15 minutes in Detroit.

It is, unfortunately, very, very easy to spend hours in line. (4th quartile for me is probably 2 hours; max was close to 5.) If one is selected for secondary screening, throw all estimates out window; you've transitioned from routine travel into an adversarial proceeding with the USFG.

[+] Since most airlines operate on schedules which do not change much on a week-to-week basis it is fairly predictable that e.g. 10 AM on a Tuesday, and hence $BAR Flight $BAZ's scheduled arrival window, will be busy, given that N flights from abroad arrive near that window.
