Apple IIs were all over US schools for this reason.
Why would I be digging through Red Hat's blog to find this, and not find it on the site of the actual thing itself?
I wouldn't read too much into changes of version numbers. vim was being updated continuously.
All they wanted was to fork the project to "clean up" the code in ways they wanted, manage the community themselves, etc. It wasn't like all their patches were flawless and Bram just wouldn't accept them. Just dumping…
I can already use the mouse normally in vim... is it that the configuration is too hard?
Devil's advocate - how is it really better to have a bunch of autogenerated Django migration files?
What does PG need to improve, then? I see a lot of discussion of how Oracle is better at this or that but not much discussion on how PG will come to parity and how we'll know when it's finally good enough to use.
It's worse than that. You're not just choosing a reliable solution, or even a solution with a conservative reputation so that your butt is covered. You're choosing a solution which may actually be worse because when you…
You can absolutely do string handling in a common subset of Python 2 and Python 3. It won't work for legacy string handling code if you relied on implicit coercion, but then the same apps are unlikely to support unicode…
FORTRAN 77 is just as likely to be abandoned in 2020 as well. And?
We've already had tools like 2to3, but they weren't all that popular, and this won't be either. Most things are ported to Python 3 now and most new projects just use Python 3. Never fear.
Pigs fly - he already has a draft of LPTHW for Python 3
Google produced more relevant results than Altavista. That's about it. They didn't build or save the internet. Without them, search engines would have improved anyway and we'd be just fine. Google was never a charity…
Ironic since Ansible's lack of Python 3 support was due to vociferous insistence by key Ansible developers that it would be wrong even to allow the use of Ansible with Python 3 as long as popular CentOS versions did not…
What product needed to be built that harnessed HTTP, when it was first created? It wasn't Google, Facebook and pets.com right away. It took a lot of time to figure that out. There is a place for foundational work, it's…
Let's say you developed a Python-like language called Python 2.6, can you call on the Python-2.5 community to convert all old code? Come on, nobody was forced at gunpoint to port to Python 3, that's why there are still…
This is simply not true. For example, Python 2.6 deprecated string exceptions. If you expect in any language to write code and have it run forever, you expect that language never to change.
Low-content jokes never did particularly well on HN. Like it or loathe it, it's been a cultural feature here for years.
Sure, if the wealthy voluntarily decide to do this, or if they can be convinced to do so in civil conversation. Given the heat of pushback on small tax increases, I wouldn't bet on this happening without chaos. I…
The corollary is that entire languages and libraries dedicated to doing things cleverly, even if they are technically usable, are often bad choices. But unless you can point at benchmarks, nobody will listen to you, and…
You may be excited about your project, but this really isn't doing the same thing as SOLID at all. "within a few months I'll release an open source ML powered browser that speeds up their web browsing experience by…
> It would be entirely wrong, however, to use these inputs to infer anything whatsoever about the respective propensity of Blue and Green people to become doctors in an environment in which such a rule or idea of a rule…
Nobody would run a Hackintosh unless they were enthusiastic about Apple's software and Apple in general. Otherwise, why put up with the trouble? I think that most of these people have a long history of buying things…
Can you imagine what humanity would achieve if we stopped developing pointless or redundant new database engines?
What if people want to develop game engines? What if people want to play games? What if personal passions are an important part of life? What if it isn't your time to allocate, but theirs? What if throwing a bunch of…
