Python doesn't try especially hard to stop you from doing stupid things in general. It's kind of core to the language that it doesn't. Hence no access modifiers. I think it's usually phrased as "we're all conse

As the famous idiom goes, sticks and stones may break my bones but words can leave permanent psychological scars that may never heal. Physical violence is definitely going to leave lasting effects, but words can still do the same.

You can return data for multiple page elements with HTMX too using the "OOB" mechanism.

"legitimate interest" was supposed to be for things like remember-login cookies and the like. Not for advertisers going "my interest is legitimate because it's how I make money".

You can even get carbon fiber reinforced TPU for if you want shear strength but don't need the flexibility. From what I hear it's kind of bonkers how tough that stuff is.

You can still share pre-DRM copyrighted work without running afoul of any laws. Stuff like lending out or selling VHS tapes. Copyright is concerned about copying, not about moving. Digital media just makes the line between copying and movin

Work on your reading comprehension. I never said anything was illegal. Spying means the act of keeping a secret watch for intelligence purposes. This is what they are doing. And just because it's legal does not mean it isn't wrong

Increasing prices at busy times (i.e. surge pricing) is... to some degree defensible. Spying on people and charging different prices to different people for the same thing (i.e. surveillance pricing) is not. Can you imagine the mayhem if

Reduced test cases make it way easier to figure out what the actual bug is. E.g. a real world example is when I tested a "slugify" function with hypothesis. It almost immediately spat out this failing test case: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It's automatic. If you post and the title gets mangled you can go back and edit the title and it won't get re-mangled, but you kinda have to be paying attention and be aware of that.

It's also just sort of generally used as easily spotted value in a hex editor. similar to DEADBEEF, ABADBABE, CAFED00D, and probably a bunch more variations on the concept. CAFEBABE seems especially prolific, getting used for -- among

There's playing the game as intended and playing to the rules. People who insist on doing the latter even after being asked not to are infuriating. I've got one friend who got himself permanently uninvited from board game night fo

Except trams have, as far as I know without exception, specific traffic rules around them. A tram simply does not and cannot stop as quickly as a car (or indeed a bus) can. The reason that that's largely accepted is because the tradeof

I find this also heavily depends on which LLM you're using. I've found chatGPT is completely awful at getting corrected, it'll double down until the cows come home. Meanwhile claude will generally adjust its behavior withou

A linear ramp would work, but you can probably get to the end-point quicker if you're not going linearly. Something like needle_position = needle_position * 0.9 + desired_needle_position * 0.1 is very easy to implement, easier than lin

except if := was the default then accidentally typing ":=" instead of "==" would be the easy bug to make. := was bolted on after of course, and I think that was a mistake, but no one asked me, nor do I expect anyone to

Maybe not. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I have to err on the side of caution with these things because I don't know.

not really? I have a habit of using the wrongest solder for my projects. The stuff I use currently was formulated for wave soldering, no clue why it comes in spools but it was cheap. In general the formulation is more important than the bra

Splitting = and := in python is very intentional though, It makes writing bugs like this impossible: if is_logged_in=True: allow_access() I've got... opinions on the way python separates statements and expressions, but

A glass fiber pen is my go-to for cleaning groddy pads and pins and the like. Works a treat.

I can make no claims as to the brands mentioned in the parent post, but a 3 second heating time isn't all that fast for a real nice soldering iron. Previous job had an iron that'd heat between you picking it up and moving it over

Important to note that these days you really should use lead-free solder. You'll find all sorts of people going around claiming that leaded is better, but it's really not, and it's not worth the health risk. Your iron needs

For this example, perhaps not much, but a similar query also works. given this image[0] I queried qwen3.5-35b-a3b "where is waldo", and after thinking some got this back: --- Waldo is located in the *center* of the image. Here i

I'd recommend you'd give D a try. It manages to have a bunch of the cool features C++ has, while still largely feeling like working in C with some of the cruft fixed. D's equivalent to "constexpr" is "compile t

I'm not convinced "most played" is the relevant criteria here. That's easily skewed by games which are time-sinks, like PvP games with draconic anti-cheat and DRM. That doesn't make those games more important than g

oh for sure, but I still feel like telling people pypy is written in python is misleading. it's written in something significantly like python, but it's not python.
