Honestly, who cares what the fuck the UN thinks at this point? They've lost all credibility. Hell, they just held a moment of silence for the Butcher of Tehran, an individual that, as a head of state, has repeatedly called for the des

And, what's been most alarming through COVID is the same people that would claim medical autonomy in the case of abortion are the exact same people that'll tell you to shut up and take your shot when it came/comes to COVID. P

Seriously, why would I go to the theater at the same cost to watch at home only to have to to step through sticky floors to sit in seats of questionable cleanliness to watch a movie with the glow of other people's phones around me, wat

The reality is, the Obama administration kept drawing red lines that kept getting stepped over with no consequences. Syria, Iran, ISIS...Russia saw that and that there'd be no real consequences. Same thing happening now with the Biden

Not the OP, but I see this pop up quite frequently in ETL, usually handling csv files.

To add to a sibling comment, the distinction is important, because observed mass of black holes falls largely into super massive (millions to billions solar masses) to stellar (dozens of solar masses). There is very, very, astonishingly few

So...what's the story with grid-scale battery disposal? Are we heading for another series of super-fund cleanups? That's a lot of toxic material that's going to have to be disposed at end of life.

Maybe GP is referring to using mutable instances as default arguments in Python? Because that is a known Bad Thing (TM).

I have a hellcat redeye, approximately one of your $100k cars. I've thoroughly enjoyed the car in the nearly 2 years I've owned it. But, I'm barely over 6,000 miles, and I've killed 2 batteries and just had the starter r

ALT+255 also made the directories inaccessible in Win9x. Couldn't open them in explorer, for instance, without renaming to remove the special character.

I got my drivers license in the golden age of the mid-90s when the US nation-wide 55 MPH limit was repealed. Limits immediately reverted back to whatever the states had on the books. For Montana (where I lived at the time), there was no pos

Been a while since I've looked at it, but pretty sure std::format validates and parses most (all?) format strings at compile time. There should be no runtime penalty.

That's kind of the point. It's feature detection code. If the code cleanly compiles, the feature is assumed supported, otherwise, it's assumed not present/functional. This pretty common with autotools. The gotcha here is

Doesn't Pyinstaller also require CPython to have been built with '--enable-shared'? I _think_ this is the default for most system-installed Pythons that I've seen, but it's not the default if you build Python from s

To add to this, with poetry, you basically do `poetry env use python3.12` to create a python virtualenv on python3.12 (you can use whatever python version pyenv supports, doesn't even have to be CPython). The generated virtual env name

I used ClearCase quite a bit (and other (ir)Rational tools) at a previous job. It sucked pretty hard. But, it didn't _require_ you to lock files. It _strongly encouraged_ you to, and made working with hijacked files a pain in the ass,
