wanted to add something to the end of a for-loop, but had too little indentation

To address this, I prefer reducing length & depth of nested code, so the for/while is rarely ever not visible along with everything inside it. Others have success with editors that draw indentation lines.

opening up new/anonymous scopes

I occasionally use Python nested functions for this purpose

I find it’s possible to operate Python as a statically typed language if you wanted, though it takes some setup with external tooling. It wasn’t hard, but had to set up pyright, editor integration, configuration to type check strictly and along with tests, and CI.

I even find the type system to be far more powerful than how I remembered Java’s to be (though I’m not familiar with the newest Java versions).

I prefer that, though (it’s in my calendar, but I don’t have to accept). I really can’t stand Outlook’s email-based calendar workflow.

That’s only because the former already implies much of the latter, so they don’t need to repeat it

In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.

So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.

It refers to a male cousin that is NOT in the same paternal line, so maybe not too uncommon?

Must be proprietary, bc TOTP shouldn’t be blocked by age of the device

What are the numbers for?

speed up certain types of applications as long as application providers don’t have to pay for special treatment

Maybe they mean by doing things like giving slight priority to real-time application traffic like VOIP over streaming over websites vs file transfers, like how home routers can?

Don’t think that should be something to charge people more for, though. They’re not even able to deliver on their own advertised speeds.

If talking about a closed source app, their whole goal is to move off of hosting closed source systems.

Article says the decision follows a successful pilot project, so they’re willing to absorb the short term costs. Optimistically in the long run, the symbiotic benefits of having a government entity using and supporting a full FOSS system will be huge.

What do you do for a living/what are you into that isn’t super deep in some way? What field did you rabbit hole into in the past that makes you go, “never again”, now?

I think people are being lazy, in a selfish, tragedy of the commons sort of way.

When standing in line, they all watch the customer stand there doing nothing as the cashier checks out items. If only they’d bag their own things, we’d all be able to get on with our lives that much sooner. Instead, they continue standing there doing nothing, as the cashier now bags their items.

Then the next person in line moves up and also just stands there, also unwilling to do anything to help speed things along.

Oh, interesting

Hell of a frame budget to work by, but I don’t know much about game programming

You can, once you find a game that runs at 1k fps

Not surprising that PDF comments were being used as a task list/tracker. In the same manner, Google Docs supports “@-mentions”, “assign to”, and “resolved” functionality for comments.

All you can do is send feedback to Adobe somehow and hope they add that feature back in. In the meantime, best to find an alternative workflow.

Even better, learn how to avoid conflicts from happening in the first place!

Thank goodness for the Hippocratic origins of healthcare. Wish I could throw his words back at him so he could hear how insane it sounds in the context of healthcare. Just imagine:

You think a doctor sits back and says, ‘Gosh, how can we get the price of saving this patient’s life down?’ No, it’s like, ‘How high a price can I get and maximize the profit for my shareholder?’"

What kind of quick one off scripts have large complex scopes where variable renames are difficult to track?

Besides, these days Python has great LSPs and typing features that can even surpass the traditional typed langs

I’ve created a Google spreadsheet to accomplish this sort of thing: Split Payment Calculator

It’s got formatting and locked areas to help layman usage, but it’s ofc still a spreadsheet UI and not a dedicated app. A bit of math proficiency and spreadsheet formula knowledge helps.

Could be replicated on other spreadsheet software like Excel or Calc, although Sheets solves a lot of problems at once, like accessibility, sync, versioning, sharing, etc

Technically, anything can be “hacked”, but that’s the same kind of technically as “any car can be broken into”.

Just like there are ways to mitigate getting your car broken into, there are ways to mitigate getting your system compromised.
