Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don’t remember). That’s why it’s called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.

Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar

I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn’t take that much to validate these things

The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn’t force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.

Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.

No, because they don’t behave like lasers (like, they don’t move at the speed of light). They’re more like massive, short lived light sabers, which are plasma within a forcefield.

Not saying it makes sense (but shooting at moving targets that can change direction after you shoot, from a gun mounted on a platform with movement out of your control is not just math)

Apparently droids are not good enough to shoot guns. Most guns are fired by people, even the ones on star destroyers.

tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone

HTML is not even a tree (XHTML is. XML is a type 2 grammar). SGML languages like HTML are more similar to Tree-adjoining grammars.

For example <b>This<i>is perfectly</b>valid</i> html.

But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough

Yeah, and ide only supported 4 drives at a time in most systems

What? Using uuids is the solution to having to change the file (that, or stable name rules). You can also use labels if you want to.

Under this definition, using mspaint is programming

If it’s a verb it should be a button, not a toggle

The acting was generally good from pretty much every one

I mean, sure, but was the Palpatine Anakin killed a clone (therefore reducing his impact)? Is the new palps a clone? Does he have palps consciousness or just a copy of his memories? If he’s a clone, who made him and raised him? He seems pretty old, is it because of accelerated clone aging or because he’s the original?

You know, interesting sci-fi/force things to explore in a sci-fi/force trilogy.

Ctrl+break doesn’t do anything on my machine. Ctrl+c stops a process.
