Does it though? All of spotlight's extra functionality seems to work even with wifi turned off. Even things like currency conversion rates seem to be stored locally. EDIT: I just noticed I have spotlight settings turned off. Unless I f

I may, but the Canadian political landscape right now is one where the ruling party has a majority so they can push through pretty much any bill they want. Also the party has pretty much discouraged MPs from expressing any opinions counter

Hey, that sounds like my MP (and anyone else with a conservative MP)

I wish it was possible to know how much of that 5–6% were actual users, and how much were people running tests.

It is all self-reporting based on the classifiers given to PyPI (NetworkX lists itself as supporting Python 3, Python3.2–Python3.4). It seems like both it and twisted would benefit from a Python3–partial classifier

It's too bad that the WoS isn't able to display things like partial-support ( https://twisted.readthedocs.org/en/latest/core/howto/python3... ).

Agreed. Half the reason I've kept my pre-order was as a reminder.

Even with key match, this is a fundamentally different product. With the original Lockitron, a renter could just install it wherever they were currently staying. With the Bolt, the renter has to get permission to install a new deadbolt and

I'm not going to lie, that does sound similar to my experience with iTunes on OS X (though I do remember it somehow being even worse on Windows).

You might enjoy reading up on the French Republican Calendar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_Calendar ) then, and see what could have been.

Seconded. I recently moved a work project from py2exe to pyInstaller and was very happy with the results.

It probably doesn't help that people spend more time inside in close quarters during cold weather.

Unfortunately, I think they are just based on the reality of the situation. According to the person who is responsible for PyPI, ~5X as many people use 2.6 than 3.X.

More likely, Alex does not want to spend the time to provide moderation for a comments section. His stance is that Twitter is bad because the kind of community it creates—it would be silly for him to create a comment section that similarly

It's possible they eventually plan adding write support using xlwt.

I purchased a developer Peak when they first came out. I used it as my primary phone for about a month on two different occasions when I was between phones. In theory it was nice to just have a basic, but in practice I had to tether it to m

I ran into some code a few days ago that wouldn't install because it was checking OS X version as a string and '10.10' < '10.5'. Bad code will always find a way

I can't read most of it, but it looks like his application letter to Atari. It's addressed to someone at Atari, and has his name and signature at the bottom.

I would say fn and mod are a lot better than cdr and car. At least fn and mod are just abbreviations of the words they represent. cdr and car requires me to know 60-year-old implementation details of Lisp.

As far as I could tell, Atom didn't have per-syntax settings. That made it a non-starter for me.

Python has a solution to this. There are decorators that allow you to access methods as if they are properties: class Foo(object): def __init__(self, bar): self._bar = bar @property def bar(self):

My JS knowledge isn't great. In python, I can do operator overloading such that `obj[item] = value` does something completely different than assignment. Is that possible with JavaScript?

I might go as far as saying that MS Paint for Windows Vista is the my favorite program period. It had every feature I could want (excluding transparency) and nothing else. The interface was quick and intuitive. I think it was pretty much pe
