Babylon 5

Idiots removed the triangles at top & bottom that you could use to scroll without dragging. I think they did it because they are stupid and evil.

Fascinating stuff!

Why is this not obvious to everybody?

At least they aren't copper nanotubes ;)

OK I'll get my coat.

Good idea - any shit pilots want to volunteer? ;)

We all are.

The bigger the venv gets, the more likely you are to get version clashes - unless all your projects can use the same version of each dependency. Even then, it will tend to grow without bound.

Easy - virtualenvwrapper!

All the talk about anaconda etc is for mad data scientists, not us normal folk ;)

Real reason is buried in the text:

"While Sugar was an elegant operating system, some potential buyers were dubious of anything that wasn’t Microsoft Windows. They wanted students to learn an interface they’d be using for the rest of their lives, not just with the XO-1."

They bottled out of Linux, so no free OS . . . the rest is history.

Glanced through the paper quickly, couldn't find _any_ references to elasticity or strain, just the breaking stress. I would have thought that would be in the calculations somewhere, considering this thing would be a quarter of a million miles long! Maybe I'm just being a killjoy . . .

Think of the citizens!

Fake news is never paywalled.

Python is the simplest language I know of that does operator oveloading. If I had to write my pet maths project in c++ I would not even have got started. Sometimes abstract "drawbacks" are irrelevant!

Mutation testing can expose weaknesses like these in your automated tests.

Not only that, you should subject your automated tests to mutation testing. No link coz wikipedia seems to be down for me.

What do you think causes big noses?

it's in the man page

Hmm, I thought it was "run control" . . . ;)

"In the command line" is a horribly wishy-washy windows-ism ("short" for command line interpreter/interface).

Linux/Mac has a _shell_ working within a _terminal_.

A "command line" is actually input passed to a program by the OS.

Discuss ;)

Yawn.

(sob) he tricked us, that's why we didn't believe it was happening.

Isn't it a bit late at this point?

Couldn't enter a month of birth . . .

USA needs an NHS

Fabrice strikes again! FFMPEG, QEMU, TCC . . . .

Nasty article

For MP work in Python, gmpy2 - https://pypi.org/project/gmpy2/ comes with a much better selection of MP functions, backed by MPFR, MPC.

Also, the buit-in Decimal class is horribly slow by comparison to gmpy2.

Why do we need node?

I don't think many commenters got what I was trying to say. I'll have another go. Assuming you haven't done all the things you want to do in (say) 70 years, why would you say you need or deserve more time?
