Is there a way to apply without going through the angel.co website?

You obviously have reasons to be angry, but vitriolic comments don't produce constructive discourse.

I can see why you might think that, being built into the language, using 'with' in Python in a broken way would be easier to spot. However, having used both languages extensively, I can tell you that, at least for me, there's

If you are consuming an API that provides an object with a destructor, you are correct, you can determine when destructors will be called. The issue is when you produce an API that contains objects with destructors. Since you are handing th

Python's "with" construct is analogous to the bracket pattern in Haskell that the article is talking about. It also works in the nested case in the presence of exceptions. Furthermore, the issue that Michael has with the brac

> The thing is that, in Haskell, even when you attach a function to run during destruction, the runtime doesn't guarantee that the function will be called promptly, or even at all. However, this is different than the bracket pattern

Sad to see you being downvoted when you are correct, see [1] > forget is not marked as unsafe, because Rust's safety guarantees do not include a guarantee that destructors will always run. This was a problem in Rust when scoped thre

You're right to complain that conquistadog's comment was irrelevant to your main point. It's frustrating when people miss what you are saying and get so hooked on trivialities. Incidentally, your nitpicking about my use of th

I agree with you for the most part here. For the things that I typically use computers for, I would prefer to have both hardware and software protected sandboxes. There's a reason that browsers are switching to using multiple processes

The rule of thumb for restaurants is the poorer the website, the better the food. Restaurants with Flash-only pages that haven't been updated for 15 years are the best. Also, the cleaner the bathrooms, the cleaner the kitchen.

There's a good reason that the pictures look similar. Both architectures produce somewhat blurry images. The problem, in BEGAN's case, is that when your idea of similarity is based of mean squared error, high frequency details are

I think a better way to handle this would be to use subresource integrity [1]. Then, if the browser's cached version matches the hash, it can be sure that it doesn't need to do any requests. [1] https://developer.mozill

What happens is: treatments are evaluated and declared either cost effective or not. They don't refuse people treatment because they've used more than their 'fair share' of some allowance.
