you mean the front page? same thing for reddit (when i used to go on there...)

> Watching the ~11 years of Python 2 to 3 adoption has been somewhat painful

this portrayal of the python 2 to 3 migration does not represent the majority of the community! and yet we keep hearing it over and over because "large" codebases were not migrated on time.

this migration was a software engineering problem. i hope by now, people have learned to write dumb code and avoid clever tricks whenever they can. performance and clever tricks get tied to languages, OSes, & hardware versions. python is no exception!

not saying don't do them. just saying know what you are getting into.

again, the issue is not entirely due to breaking changes. but python made it too easy. c++ for example would have given people such a hard time that they wouldn't have even bothered. python's was too permissive.

i have seen the python 2.7 codebase that shipped with the original appengine. it always felt like traveling to a different world whenever the debugger gets into their code...

well, java isn't really complicated. it's just verbose. but my understanding is that d has many of the features of c and modern cpp. that alone makes it more complicated than java...

> Setting aside the issue of counterfeits on Amazon, this is really nice. Clear, simple, functional and allows you to explore the space not just comparison shop for a specific item.

yea and totally broken UI on mobile. not their fault though. is it time for browsers to adopt a sensible default CSS for mobile?

people are saying golang but some of us knew brad before go. remember livejournal? memcached? that's your guy. amazing and inspiring person. i wish him all the best!

funny, i said the same thing before but it came off wrong and people didn't get it or something. i only run windows defender too, not because it's efficient -- i don't know, i have never seen it catch anything -- but because it's the less sketchy of the bunch!

has anyone used duolingo for an extensive period of time and can confirm it helps with actually speaking a new language? my experience with tools like these is that they help build vocabulary but you can't actually hold a conversation for a long time...

no that the saying goes that management tools (oracle, mssql, etc...) for enterprise db are better

hehe, i wonder if people really believe in these words. i love coding but boy i do get so much frustration from it sometimes!

no need to be concerned really. i have used mysql a while ago before switching to postgres and the stories are the same on both sides :) i think you will hear that only the "enterprise" dbs users supposedly have it nice...

oh my god i do miss inbox! funny how time flies because i even almost forgot about it. what i miss most is the auto grouping (tagging? or whatever it was called) and the one column layout. i found it less distracting. never had the sidebar opened!

inbox was email that simply worked. never got in your way. not for the "pros", that's what gmail is for. it had its place. and yet...

wait, isn't english the international language of science as well? i thought it was...

> GWbasic to Qbasic

wait wuh? i thought these were just two of the dozen variants of the BASIC dialect... interesting!

that's correct. sentry itself is on python 2.7, not the python client.

not to pick on sentry here, but you know, my experience is that people are having a hard time migrating due to them using obscure tricks and features of python 2.7. so their code is breaking because the language evolved.

the saying goes write dumb code or something because debugging is twice as hard. if there is anything to learn from all this, it's to write dumb code because maintenance is twice as hard too.

that's all that is happening really!

really beautiful, simple blog layout! the background color should be a tad bit less saturated though, imo. also, that blurring effect is a little too much for my poor eyes. but i love the simplicity of it!

do not buy brand products off amazon! unless it's the official brand store. at this point, there's so little to gain doing so. the only thing that comes to mind is not having to sign up for another online account and entering details. nowadays, most brands match up the fast 2-days shipping and they have better discounts and deals, and you know the stuff you are getting is from them.

that's bad advice. bookmarking is very valuable in this day and age. websites and blogs you swear you have seen before won't appear in search result! searching is failing us but we can start to trust our bookmarks again.

well, talking only of medias, they have reasons to give importance to social medias. if i were constantly reporting risings, protests, riots, movements, etc. that started online, i would give importance to social media too.

i have not heard the word abandonware in like forever!
