Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

I don’t know if it’s that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it’ll exclusively deal with the kernel.

Are reading what you write? It’s linux so it isn’t?

Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.

After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly

tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone

I mean Blade Runner did do it first, as well as Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep. (But Johny Mnemonic was at it before Blade Runner)

The sprawl trilogy does have a good enough and unique plot besides all of the groundbreaking cyberspace stuff

Under this definition, using mspaint is programming

Ctrl+break doesn’t do anything on my machine. Ctrl+c stops a process.

Removing the console limitation, I’d go for Half-life on a Nvidia TNT 2 and CRT monitor.

Now, if it has to be console, then Persona 3 FES on the ps2.

It’s not about the App Store, it’s mostly about the 30% commission both companies take on app sales [in the app store] AND in app purchases [through the app store].

How is it not about the app store?

I know what you mean and I also find western support of Israel appalling, but the meme is literally about the lack of support to Hamas, which makes sense given how they also like to randomly kill civilians.

NFTs or blockchains are not needed for this. You could just implement selling or transfers in the content platform.

I do think using contacts for escrow and having the sale being independent from the vendor are cool features, bit not at all essential ones.

If you wait enough websites will start requiring WEI and changing to a browser without it will just click you out of them

Firefox in the Phoenix/Firebird days was amazing compared to ie6, Opera, and SeaMonkey/Mozilla suite

Not on browsers, probably. It’s one of the areas where antitrust still has some echoes. They’ll probably pay you to stay afloat.

I’m not sure, but didn’t Konqueror switch to qtwebkit at some point? Or was that a different qt-based browser?

I don’t understand this comment. Are you saying it’s only fine to dodge the draft when rock people do it?
