I love requests+lxml, use it fairly regularly, just a few quick notes:

1. lxml is way faster than BeautifulSoup - this may not matter if all you're waiting for is the network. But if you're parsing something on disk, this may be significant.

2. Don't forget to check the status code of r (r.status_code or less generally r.ok)

3. Those with a background in coding might prefer the .cssselect method available in whatever object the parsed document results in. That's obviously a tad slower than find/findall/xpath, but it's oftentimes too convenient to pass upon.

4. Kind of automatic, but I'll say it anyway - scraping is a gray area, always make sure that what you're doing is legitimate.
We have such a hard time understanding and sensing our fellow human beings. So much that, and as a result, we start disputes and wage wars. Considering our intelligence spread is negligible, what makes one think we could perceive and much less communicate with a superbeing whose intelligence is magnitudes superior to ours?

Are we able to perceive whomever created the universe, life, and the likeliness of them upkeeping it?
Yeah, it's because advertisers are parasites; they exploit a medium, making it worse for consumers. Any trouble for them is a victory for us.
> This "guy" is a security professional; her

This might be something more colloquial to Australians than [wherever you "guys" are posting from], but to me when I see someone referring to 'guys' (as in, "hey guys!", or, "you know, those guys") it isn't always gender specific. You can go up to a group of women and say "hi guys!".

I'm going to gloss over the part where OP then referred to the author as "he", but I just feel that the word "guy" is more and more moving away from meaning "men" and instead just "people".

I'll leave that two cent coin on the table for you guys

Yes I would go with that and I hate Apple and have never tried airpods. I have tried normal Bluetooth headphones in Android world though and am prepared to believe that the Apple audio experience is better than what I am used to.

However, if you could go back in time by a short amount of years to show anyone the current iteration of music player and air pods then I think they would find the technology to be tantamount to magic and therefore a bonafide miracle.

At the other end of the scale you have the Apple fan and if they find these Airpods things to be miraculous then I think they are only being fair about what has been achieved here technologically to bring music to the consumer.
Its the end folks, Apple is officially dead.
Languages/compilers do not need machines that are very fast, because you only compile your code before you run it, you use a text editor to write the code most of the time.

However, it’s common to use an IDE such as JetBrains or VisualStudio, and these require a lot more speed to use effectively.

If you’re planning to use an IDE, I’d try to find a machine with 4GB of RAM at least, ideally 8GB, and a Core i5 generation processor if you can, although an i3 or a Core 2 generation processor might be ok.

If you don’t need windows, I’d suggest installing Linux (probably Ubuntu) on the computer, it will get a bit more speed out of it.
The human waste that contributed to the pollution of the river Ganga (or Ganges) was generated by a population that was supported by modern medicine and a whole lot of other modern inventions. It wasn't always this polluted, even though there have been cities on its banks for millennia. And of course industrial waste also added to the problem. You can't compare that population with the "mythical tribe" that is under discussion here.
It was fun though. I learned to use Dreamweaver MX because at the time I was in elementary school and my teacher just started a campus newsletter club.

If insurance plans don't cover hearing aids in general, they won't cover hearing aids in any specific situation either.
Is there any definitive evidence for this? Has anyone benchmarked devices before and after upgrades to prove it?

Edit: I don't mean CPU benchmarking which has been discussed elsewhere in this thread. More like usability testing, sequences of actions not invoking new OS features where possible, and also a second set of tests using new OS features because that's what most people's experience would be.

This is something I'm wondering about too. I recently made a piece of software [1] that users can self-host (released under MIT). I also want to offer the exact same thing as a service to users who can't self-host and simply just want a pluggable snippet for their static websites.

Obviously, if/when I offer the service, anybody who's tired of paying me money will simply spin up a VPS, install docker, pull my image, and run it themselves. It's fairly straightforward (and I'm happy that it's easy to self-host an instance of Commento). I'm just wondering if it is even worth it for me to offer this as a service. I'm not really looking for a huge profit - I'd be happy if it's simply self-sustainable (including development costs).

It's the usual way incentives work. You may or may not have realized this will keep happening, but it doesn't matter either way. At every stage of the process you're presented with a choice - do business with Facebook, or not. And every time, the deal is beneficial to you short-term. In a competitive environment, you usually cannot afford not to take that deal.

OpenAPI / Swagger is just JSON which describes the input and output data from an API's endpoints. If you want to know, prior to runtime (of your code), what kind of data an API will accept and return, and if you don't have access to the API's source code, in what would format would you prefer to have the information documented? I don't have in mind a right or wrong answer, just curious.
For NGINX and Apache it's a shell script away. The dehyrated shell client is Let's Encrypt/ACME compatible. It can read from a domains.txt file listing individual certificates per line. There's a hook.sh that you can modify to get dehydrated to deploy the script.
All you'd have to do is get whatever script you currently use to provision the custom domains, to add the domains.txt and run dehyrated --cron.

There's plenty of pre-written deployment scripts for it, check the wiki and Google. https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated

Failing that... If you're using Apache, it's on its way to natively supporting Let's Encrypt certificates for fully auto HTTPS https://letsencrypt.org/2017/10/17/acme-support-in-apache-ht...

The only thing iOS had for me was reliability

Android and Android apps are more reliable than iOS and iOS apps [1]. Depending on who you believe this has been the case for a long time [2][3] or is a recent trend [4]. As Android vs iOS is the mobile equivalent of vi vs emacs it is not easy to find objective reporting on the subject.

With people, I'd say it works like this: you tolerate ever increasing temperature, because escaping it would require you to jump out of the pot and traverse the sea of flames surrounding it, to reach a safe spot. You look around, see the hellscape of roaring fire, and decide that maybe the pot is relatively better place for you.
> Will building more units / appartments/ houses bring the price down?

Ballooning housing prices are a prime example of demand exceeding supply leading to increased prices. Increasing supply will decrease prices or at least limit further price increase.
> Also, I think the true benefit of an optimized text editor isn't in raw time savings but in increased flow and just the joy of having a tool that feels like the extension of your mind, rather than something your mind works around.

My thoughts exactly (although mine might not have been worded that well :) ).

Vim-bindings are like a REPL, but on a different level. If you compare a REPL to a loop of "save, compile, run, enter passwords, wait for a specific event to trigger", you might get a grasp of what a Vim-enthusiast gets out of the editor. They've fixed the thing to fix and moved on while you're still trying to find out where your mouse movement went.

That might sound a bit exaggerated, but for the skeptics, I propose an experiment: Switch your keyboard to a different language (say Turkish, if you're very brave) and try to code for a couple of minutes. I do that regularly (my colleagues don't use the same layout as me), and I'd wager it's about the same level of annoyance as not being able to use Vim-bindings if you're used to them.

I'm not saying that there aren't other effective ways of editing text, I'm merely finding that the defaults aren't very good.
There was — and I think it's still present — a similar bug in OS X's WM. ^→ and ^← switch spaces; the active (keyboard focused) window is not switched until the end of the animation, and subsequent keyboard input isn't withheld in the meantime. Meaning that if you type:

123 ^→ abc

Which window gets "abc" is entirely dependent on how fast you type it. (If you wait long enough, the top window in the destination workspace gets it. If you don't, the top window in the source workspace.)

This gets doubly fun when both windows are terminals with ssh to production machines open…
What about $145 cabled headphones?

Complexity has its price — it’s hard to get right and corner cases continue creeping in with wider use.

If there’s a popular example of over engineering, the replacement of a dirt cheap 3 foot cable that works perfectly 100% of the time, with zero lag and zero signal loss, with an expensive, battery powered wireless signal solution which lags, cuts out, creates security issues and dies after a few hours of use must be it.

No disagreement that the developer is unnecessarily hostile.

That said, your reading is not very charitable. Mine was:

* Developer reflectively responds to the question as stated

* Developer then thinks "wait a minute, why 3 characters?"

* Developer assumes questioner knows that extensions are called extensions, because "everyone" (certainly "everyone in a tech IRC channel") knows. Speaking from personal experience, this is an easy trap to fall into

* The response of the questioner ("yes", rather than "maybe, what's an extension?") confirms that assumption in the developer's mind

Broadly, yes, for the same reasons that destroying housing (as happened in Santa Rosa) increases competition for existing apartments and increases rents. Here's a report from the state LAO about the effects of building more housing on displacement: http://www.lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3345

In 2016 SF built 5,000 units, a record, and rents and owner move-in evictions both fell for the first time in a while. (They are not going to repeat that production in 2017 or 2018, in large part due to Prop C).

Across all 50 states, areas where population growth exceeded housing supply growth saw price increases: https://twitter.com/lenkiefer/status/871785655164182529

Austin, Houston, and Dallas don't have very restrictive zoning or rules around new home construction, and they lap California in home building and have seen rents hardly rise at all.
> Between Apple and Google, you think APPLE'S business model is the harmful one?!

Google provides services to everyone in the world. Apple provides services to the social elite, and only them. A person of moderate means living in Ghana? Apple doesn't care about you; you may as well be invisible.

> I'm actually not sure I can even name a tech company with a business model as simple and honest as Apple's.

Because sending in the swat team when you think a journalist has a preview model of your doohickey is "simple" and "honest"? Apple does the same sort of shady stuff as any other BigCorp, they're just better at making things look fashionable, so people tend to give them a pass on it. After all, this is the same corp that patented the black oblong with rounded corners. There is nothing 'simple' about Apple's business model.

I’m just defining a term, hence the “or whatever”.

But personally I find Photoshop to be more flexible and more capable than any of these film tools I’ve looked at, none of which seem to be capable of the kind of (very non-standard) workflow I use in Photoshop. Photoshop tools (layers, masks, adjustment layers [especially curves, and more recently full color lookup tables], blend modes) can be combined in very sophisticated ways which can be set up via a macro action, whereas most of these other tools are a bit more prescriptive. For example I can build my own “hue vs. hue” tool (from the Resolve marketing video) out of more basic Photoshop building blocks, and set up an action to pop one up with a keystroke. To be fair Photoshop also has piles of highly constrained single-purpose tools, most of which are outdated and relatively useless.

But none of these tools was ever designed with a user in mind who would think abstractly about building blocks and means of combination. More abstract and generic functional-boxes + arrows kind of interface could probably do better from a flexibility perspective, but can be a pain in the butt to use.

Someone with a color science, user interface design, and art background and a lot of time to experiment who was trying to make a tool for professionals could also certainly do a heck of a lot better. Most of the individual user interface components in these tools [including photoshop] are pretty uncreative and inflexible. Maybe this will be me in a few years when I have some more time, we’ll see.

Admittedly I deal with still images, not video.

My experience working on an OSS project has been that the biggest thing missing from the bug-reporter side isn't phrasing or planning, just dedication. If someone doesn't post a useful initial bug report, we can still probably work our way there if they keep pinging the thread or follow whatever instructions come out of the maintenance side of things. OTOH, if I can't see that an issue is actively causing someone pain, it's way easier for it to fall off my radar. Apathy slows down resolution far more often than antipathy.
In my understanding, some people have donated their academic login credentials, effectively giving Sci-hub access to their institution's subscriptions.

When somebody requests an article, Sci-hub will try and see if it already has it. If not, it will attempt to use some of the donated credentials to gain access, download it and store it for further download requests.

Epic added chromatic aberation to the new Unreal Tournament at some point and the mob started sharpening their pitchforks. The reason given afterwards was that they think it’s important to break the “sterile” cg look by roughening the image slightly. I can see their point, games are at the point where they look “photoreal”, but not like a photo. I find the almost-but-not-quite realism jarring, personally, I even prefer playing older games usually because of it. so I can understand why devs try all kinds of tricks to alleviate it.

CORBA's IDL was great; we're using a home grown variant for C++/C#/Java/JS interop, and it's much, much better than SWIG.

FWIW, I'm on a Nexus running the latest Android O and most of his criticisms mirror my experience. As someone who came from iOS, Android is simply not nearly as polished and I have a lot more frustrations than I used to have. I don't think you can blame it on a cheap Chinese phone.

As an example, in close to a decade of iOS use, I never once had a problem answering my phone or making calls. The phone app (though not the cell coverage) was 100% reliable. I'm currently having an issue where my Android phone can't answer calls. The phone rings, but there's no UI displayed that lets me pickup. It's been reported by many people in forums online and when I've posted here about it, I've had other people say they've experienced the same problem. The only known "solution" is to wipe the phone and start from scratch. It's ridiculous that they can't fix something so basic and essential to being a phone with an OS update, let alone that something like that made it past QA.
