It is, insofar as any PyPy is ever "fully ready."

The latest PyPy3 release targets 3.5.3.

Kind of. Basically no academics care what the literal name or publisher of the journal are. What matters is that Journal X and Y are at the top of the field, so they attract the best papers and the best editorial staff and can pull the best reviewers.

In theory, if everyone decided that starting January 1, 2021 all the previous academic effort devoted to Journal X could be instead turned to Open Science Journal Not-X, the impact on scientific endeavor would be essentially zero.

But getting everyone on board for that is a difficult task. Most faculty have no direct involvement in the allocation of subscription fees, so they don't really experience much cost (only that of emailing the occasional paywalled PDF to a less-well-placed colleague). It's easier to just keep on doing what we've been doing.

Once upon a time, reaching out to contact editors and reviewers, getting together reviews, shepherding the editors, managing publishing decisions, formatting manuscripts into articles, and printing physical journals, and mailing them to customers cost significant amounts of money. So it was more-or-less in everyone's interest to support publishers, as a key actor in disseminating and consuming scientific knowledge.

So what is the reasoning?

Pure institutional inertia.

This applies to new licenses purchased starting in October. It's not "in the middle."

Perhaps, but that's not happening here. The Windows license change doesn't retroactively apply to existing licenses.

For the same reason that so many writers do not know bookbinding.

I don't quite understand the aim, or why it overlaps with OpenBSD. This is to provide a different, simplified CLI to git?

Give me a lever, a place to stand, and a mask.

Concerns about vote selling and coercion are already gone. It's practically impossible to actually prevent people from filming their votes as they are cast, and livestreaming my vote to you is just as good as having you sit in my doorway for it.

The best innovations come without profit-driven motives. The thing about defense research is that it's more popular with the public than, let's call it, nerd research.

It's having money without trying to optimize solely on future money.

Ah, well, you just described the relative value of math in much the way I'd describe the relative value of... well, just about any intellectual pursuit. Same in philosophy. Or in law. Or in physics.

A lot of people with particular interest in one area -- say, mathematics -- don't realize that much of what is important is much more generally applicable.

It's not that these things are distinctly important for math. It's that they are important for thinking.

> It makes me wonder how they avoided running afoul of the law just collecting/viewing it for the purpose of scrubbing it, but IANAL. It'd keep me from being involved on any project like that, though!

CIRCL is the Computer Emergency Response Team of Luxembourg. They ̶a̶r̶e̶ work very closely with the law.

> We also manually removed pictures which were identified as containing harmful content, such as violent, offensive, obscene or equivalent undesirable pictures which may shock anyone.

There's a lot of just... stuff hosted on .onion.

Several of the images tagged with only 'religious' are literally just hosting mirrors of the King James Bible from htmlbible.com.

This dataset does not include any such images.

Latency.

What? Who is "asking for the head of" Philip DeFranco?

Huh?

If that sentence makes absolutely no sense to you, it's because this article assumes a very basic understanding of cryptography.

There's a reason that essentially zero websites default to a dark theme.

I may be in the extreme end, but in the rare occasion that I find a dark website, if I can't run it through a browser extension to make it light and readable: I leave and never return.

No longer vague. They're ending support for Ubuntu. https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/22/steam-will-stop-supporti...

Situation: "many different tools, possibly even written in different languages."

Many different languages?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal system "for any kind of metaprogramming task: to construct parsers for programming languages, to analyze and transform source code, or to define new DSLs with full IDE support. "

Soon:

Situation: many+1 different tools, definitely written in different languages.

Ooh no one tell them about the terrifying hybrid feline/invertebrate that lurks on a different git hosting platform. O, the unprofessionalism!

If you haven't checked back lately, type annotations in Python are getting better and better. Built-in support via the typing module and a strong community package in mypy.

Kohn goes a long way further. Don't praise your children just for "working" hard either -- that's just encouraging them to seek your external validation.

Instead, help nurture your children's own curiosity, interest, and experience in the things that they do.

Stop treating them like lab rats to be conditioned with praise, because we know exactly what happens when that praise inevitably ceases.

Yeah, I made the same switch a few months ago and thought I'd need time to get used to it...

Nope, they're perfectly functional systems. Just browse and search.

Netscape -> Opera -> Firefox (in beta) -> Chrome (early beta) -> Firefox

No, it's the equivalent of walking into a store wearing a baseball cap when that store has plastered its ceiling with paid advertisements.

I, too, find that the simple new-tab ads that I can easily disable with one option are the worst of all possible ads.

Despite the title, this article does a real disservice to Python.

For the purpose of constructing a generator, the author wrote:

Yikes. itertools was introduced in, let's see... 2003?
