I'm confused by this: String operations in Python are fast as well. f-strings are the fastest formatting style, while even the slowest style is still measured in just nano-seconds. Concatenation (+) 39.1 ns (25.6M ops/s

In the case of multiple base classes wouldn't it be more sensible for the derived class to forego the lexical convenience of super() and simply call each base explicitly? i.e. BaseEstimator.__init__(self, **kwargs) Se

Interesting. I loved Flow and I'm glad the stars aligned for it on this particular occasion. This article [1] lists a bunch of other Oscar-related firsts: * Gints Zilbalodis, who is 30 years old, is the youngest director to win the Osc

Yes, exactly that. Search for "function applyDecay" here: https://www.zapspace.net/defender_sound/defender.js (It right-shifts by 4 instead of 2.)

This inspires me as a programmer and delights me as a player. Surprising variety in the stages and lovely precise feel to the car handling. 3 or 4 goes before I started to beat it, first with keyboard then with a pad. Fired up some smooth t

Lovely. Unexpectedly I feel more immersed with the sound off. When it's on it's like I'm watching just another video on the Internet, and the wind blusters through the mic in a way that sounds different to actually being ther

Intriguing and fun. I haven't played it enough to confidently suggest changes to the game mechanics, but I think they're strong enough on their own that any/all added UI comfort would be welcome - like others have been saying

This video is a couple of years old but it seems to get more into the steps of how he might go about things (disclaimer - I haven't watched the whole thing yet, just scrubbed through). https://portal.gitnation.org/conte

CSS is 'logical' in the same way that a pseudorandom number generator is 'predictable'.

Is it one Gil Trythall piece in particular? I'm browsing the album and can only find quite casual resemblances. (Album sounds fabulous btw.)

Try this 'one weird trick' if you haven't already. It sounds unlikely but it's worked for me with Thinkpads once or twice: http://www.masnick.com/2007/09/07/the-secret-thinkpad-powerb...

In conjunction with the power of Magit this is going to make cranking out those pesky commit messages so much easier.

Here are a few long exposures of sprite-based games I just happened to have lying around: https://imgur.com/a/zmWL1bX (Not sure why Imgur is gating that with an adult content warning, but I assure you all it contains n

In the dev tools settings there is a checkbox "Disable HTTP Cache (when toolbox is open)" which name seems to imply that this only applies to the resources that make up the page, not to DNS lookups (about:config name is devtools.c

Good reason to avoid Firefox for development imo. Nothing is more annoying than mysterious cache interventions when you're trying to get a handle on an unrelated problem.

It might be good if keyboards were more symmetrical in general. Perhaps the Enter key could be in the middle, below the space bar, instead of on the right which might come from a vestigial bias towards left-to-right languages. This is the c

Yes me too, and it confused me. Does that mean I got all the possible words? I got around sixteen IIRC, but feel like there might be more? I don't know, but that screen is a dead end which doesn't either make that clear or let me

This looks very like a problem I encountered some time ago running the closed source 3DO emulator "Phoenix Project", and similarly the open source "FreeDO" project that it was forked from. I narrowed it down (also using

It's desperately out of fashion now, but remember having one's toolbar in the mode of "icons and text"? Giving you both the buttons, and a little label under each like "New", "Open", "Save",
