It's loading untrusted python different from loading untrusted dll/so? Unless your use some dedicated sandbox, I think they're equally insecure. I guess a bigger problem with native plugins is that they're not (usually)

I don't understand the question about empty values. A row with there empty values is just: ,, And yeah, dealing with separators is annoying, but pretty much every reader supports quoted values and escapes (not every writer cares up add

Also, in general, people are quick to insult others online. Somehow it's easier to degrade someone online than I'm person, and there's less incentive to look for the common ground. That also can't be healthy.

Just like in 1939, ...wait. Maybe blaming social media for fascism is a step too far. But I'm interested to hear what you have to say about that. Why did social media enable fascism now, and why did fascism exist before it?

I think you're confused about the difference between [x]*4 and [x for _ in range (4)]. It's not, at any point, a difference between something being a value or reference. The first code is equivalent to: list_multiply([x], 4) (the

>That's the complaint, that [[]]*4 is not shorthand for list comprehensions and that it's something entirely different. Well, of course. It's a shorthand for duplicating the list elements four times. In this case, the list

It's syntax sugar. I use it all the time, but of course it could always be respected by, i don't know, a for loop. It also makes writing duck typed code easier, as X 3 will work for strings, bytes and lists. Overall it's a ve

I like how it looks, and I appreciate the effort that went into it, but other than using it to export a table in just a right format that you will then embed into your assembler directly, I'm not sure how to use it. And I use opcode re

Musicians put their music on Spotify out of their own will. If they don't like it they can withdraw. Unless they sold the rights to a music label, but that's also their decision.

Can you explain your idea? Your algorithm is correct by definition, but doing this naively would be very slow (even for 32bit number). At this point it would be much faster to just binsearch it.

The common joke/fact in the nix community is the nix "triad": nix the language, nix the operating system, and nix the package manager. Sometimes it gets confusing, but usually context is enough.

Agreed. I've tried to write a json-nix converter (because I wanted to try configuring my system in jsonnet) and it's absolutely not easy, or obvious how to do this.

As a NixOs lover and user, nix-the-language is my least loved feature of the ecosystem. But at a user is not a big problem because I only write configurations for myself, and it's not like my OS configuration is a proper program, it&#x

I never got the hate for Makefiles. Granted I mostly use them for simple projects, but compiling C project takes just a few lines of code (compile .c to .o, .o to executable, optionally provide some PHONY convenience utils) and is very read

Honest question, what's wrong with Thunderbird? I never used Outlook, and I use Thunderbird daily so I wonder what I miss [1]. It also picked up development a bit and got some nice improvements, maybe check it out of you didn't re

As a non-native speaker I appreciate comments like GP, because they let me improve my English and speak better. It's not pedantic if the "shamer" is obviously right (I've consulted internet and it looks like he is). I th

I think you give too much agency to 4chan. It's just a imageboard - an internet forum - that happened to have some subforums related to alt-right. Maybe it had (has) a bad influence on people, but it's hundred times smaller than F

Not the OP, but I program professionally in Python for the past 5 years and i have never set a breakpoint. Assuming they don't work in lambdas (sounds like a tooling issue), is this really such a big problem?

I think Reddit used to be a niche site for hackers [1], hobbyists and enthusiasts. Now it's a mainstream site where regular people browse news and memes. Maybe Reddit alienated it former audience, but it doesn't mean it's dyi

I don't think I would call that bored. It's say this project let them grow enough that they realized that what they really want is something different than what they're working on. But to me "bored" sounds like a ba

That sounds noble but... What do you propose? Free drugs for everyone? If nobody is allowed to profit on researching drugs, nobody has a reason to sponsor drug development - which is very expensive. Of course I agree this market should be r
