There is at least one CF customer who was doxxed by Kiwifarms after expressing displeasure with Cloudflare's initial decision. CF CEO (eastdakota) blocked this customer when he complained about it [1] So much for free speech + great cu

So you agree that Cloudflare should be criminally liable for hosting extremist content? (yes, providing CDN service counts as hosting, as the content is stored on Cloudflare's servers)

So, Cloudflare is basically saying they would host Daily Stormer, 8chan etc. from this point on. I bet this policy will go over like a lead brick in media coverage.

The fact that you can overwrite built-in functions is not a point in favor of the language. Imagine you do this in a library and everyone using print() in their project would use a modified print instead. You could've just modified sys

This. It's hilarious how the parser knows what you're trying to do when using print statement in ipython and such, but still raises an Exception instead of printing the damn thing. Am I in the REPL to work on something, or to be

For Python work I use a pretty much out-of-the-box Emacs, with "magit" being the only plugin of note installed. And I also used "web-mode" when I was doing webdev. magit is the best Git interface ever, and a built-in Ema

I'm using 2 Anki decks to learn Japanese: one was something named "COREplus" with keys in kana and the answers showing kanji and definition of the word. I figured it would be useful to pick out words from their pronounciation

If voting doesn't matter, why do authoritarian governments try so damn hard to suppress it? Riddle me this.

There are a lot of countries that don't currently engage in genocide against ethnic minorities. Some are even named "China" [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China

The funny thing is, if you type print with space it recognizes what you meant, and still wouldn't do it, raising an exception instead. It would've cost them literally nothing to support both ways to write print, since the parser

>This works because regular dicts have guaranteed ordering since Python 3.7 But the API is different! OrderedDict has more methods that have to do with order, and `reverse` works on its `.keys()` and `.values()`. Or did they fix this in

Why should France care about what they think? Germany could try not importing French carbon neutral nuclear energy if they hate it so much.

My point was that this law makes 12% of pedestrians illegal, which is too high, not that nobody does this.

Drunk driving had to be banned because it's just too dangerous. It had to be eradicated at all costs even despite many people violating this law. On the other hand there's no indication that texting while walking is more dangerous

If you're proposing a law, and a study says that 12% of people would violate this law, it's a major indication that this is a bad law.

If they allow installing software from outside of the store, that would be fair. If they forbid installing software entirely, that would be fair too, but would turn iPhone into a dumbphone.

It works just fine for me (though my repos are small), however it is extremely slow when ssh'ing through Tramp onto a Linux host. I still put up with it because the interface is so good.
