This is weak typing not dynamic typing.

1 + f in modern Python results in a ValueError.

>Same as the design phase. It is guaranteed that engineers would have foreseen and been able to calculate the heat intensity.

Not the case. For the walkie talkie it was evaluated and the design (including location and it's orientation) were passed by a consultancy for a bunch of environmental items.

Seemingly that wasn't the case and they spent £13m retrofitting shutters. AFAIK the main contractor went after the consultancy for the money but I can't for the life of me find any references right now.

Never knew about the claims around the SVR, at the time it seemed way to convenient to be what the investigation claimed.

And SIS/GCHQ wonder why they have such a hard time recruiting staff.

Yet still no generics.

Python even has limited generics now through mypy and pep 484.

>Wool is a good compromise.

I find merino wool to be far the best base layer. It's fantastic at wicking and doesn't smell at all.

Christ, any sympathy I had for them vanished when I saw they were using keys... The documentation is very clear about query complexity so this should have been an obvious one.

With 72% turnout. I'm highlighting how stupid the idea that this is the will of the people is in reality.

Look into the Crown estate if you're interested, that's how they make a lot of their money, with any profits going back to the treasury AFAIK.

>They even pay mad bucks on their royals for basically nothing.

Royal family costs the UK £307m (highest number) with a revenue from them of £500m [1]. Seems like good business to keep paying for them.

> You seem to be forgetting the part where the British people voted to leave the EU.

A minority voted to leave the EU.

>UK comes from three main sources – gas, coal-fired power stations and nuclear. A small but growing proportion of electricity is supplied by renewables.

That's not really true anymore. Wind power supplies double that of coal in the UK. It's gas, nuclear and wind with coal coming in 4th. Check out http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ for live figures.

You also have to think about when they will be consuming electricity, which will primarily be at night (taking a reasonable guess here) where the balance of wind and nuclear is even higher.

>you should agree that the unmaintained

Agreed, but wasn't this also an issue with steel windows in the 60s? uPVC put in in the early 90s already looks crap (IMO).

>New wooden sash with double glazing are better IMO than plastic windows

Hugely, I think it's a testament to the design that they still look great today. Double glazed wooden sash windows are however much pricier than a uPVC alternative which puts them out of reach of many.

On a similar note, for anyone that hasn't seen it you can get live grid metrics from http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/.

>crappy wooden

I'm not sure where you got the gripe against wood from. It lasts longer than uPVC given maintenance every 5 years, looks better, is more environmentally friendly and has similar thermal properties. Oh and it doesn't go yellow.

Still play it. Still love it.

This is the same for GCP. Unless you pay for gold support it's essentially useless.

You still have to account for a cyclist moving due to obstructions in the road or even the wind. I know I've had some close calls in gusty winds with people passing too close.

Oh hey, I love the lfgss site design. It just gets shit done and looks decent on everything I own.

GCP gold support is great as you actually get through to an SRE, silver (what I use)... Not so great, often you'll submit a ticket with a ton of technical detail only to have them come back with something asinine rather than escalating it if it's past their understanding. The difference in price is pretty striking though, so it's no surprise the different in quality of service is different.

Honestly though I can't say I've ever really needed support on GCP, most of the times I've raised tickets its been due to funny behaviour (slow spinning disks in us-central1 was the last one).

Care to comment on GP?

>Google seems to have officially closed the book on ever supporting postgresql.

Er, that's a bet I'd strongly suggest you didn't make.

I encountered this a while ago, I've ended up bechmarking in relation to a past change and ensuring the percentage difference it's within a margin.

Not ideal but it's better than pure X vs Y.

500px is what I moved to a few years ago. No regrets.

>Pypy still has a GIL.

Not strictly true, http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/stm.html. In general for the main project however, this is true.

>- Amusingly, it runs Python 2.7, even though this project started long after Python 3.x came out.

Python 2.7 is what's running at Google. Not really surprising they're looking at this considering the fast approaching end of (core dev) support for Python 2.7.

Write an interpreter in another language and programatically port modules to Go. Seems pretty sensible to me.

>It shouldn't be a problem though, since you probably will use a virtualenv anyway.

virtualenvs don't create a new interpreter, they just fudge the python path?

Definitely not recommended on interpreted languages (although we use it all the time on our go apps).
