I remember something like this around the 2000's or maybe early 90s. I think it was a browser bar. Of course it was centralized, but the idea was there.

I remember doing this. In Python I wanted to know if a float -> str -> float would result in the same number... it does.

But it wasn't really documented or guaranteed that it would, so I wrote some bit-bashing code to generate all 232 bit patterns.

I've been using it here and there in place of named tuples and data-only classes. It is very convenient.

I had a project where I had to connect to a data source and serialize some data. When I needed to add an attribute all I had to do was add it to two places: the class itself, and the @classmethod constructor. So in this case I got the serialization for free, but that's all I was using. In reality I also got __repr__, __cmp__, etc, etc for free too, I just wasn't using it. Serialization was free because attr.asdict() knows which attributes are attr.ib() attributes.

  @attr.s()
  class Foo:
      bar = attr.ib()
      spam = attr.ib()
      eggs = attr.ib()  # added this line
  
      @classmethod
      def from_something_else(cls, x):
          return cls(
              bar=x.bar.name,
              spam=x.spam,
              eggs=x.get_eggs().blah(),  # and this line
          )
  
  with open('blah.json', 'w') as fout:
      json.dump(fout, attr.asdict(o))  # got serialization for free

"There was inexplicably a lot of extra room in the lower left hand corner, right where I wanted to put the headphone jack."

Funny... I thought they removed it to save space. Apparently they needed space for that void?

I have GigaBit internet from AT&T. Speeds have been terrible and pings were like 130ms. I disabled IPv6 on my laptop and things improved. I disabled IPv6 on my router and it improved even more.

Do we really need IPv10?

Does it have coroutines? Python has had them since 2.5 (2005) and Golang has obviously had them since the beginning.

When will C++ finally catch up?

Did you just say awesome software with a straight face?

Have you ever used iTunes or Safari?

It's funny. Go on #python on freenode and ask a question about named tuple. Consensus there is that they should be avoided in favor of real classes or attrs decorated classes.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I have probably forwarded the article to 20 or so people since it first came out. Didn't know about this video.

At the age of 34 I decided to buy an electric skateboard (Evolve Bamboo GT).

After 1 week... speed wobble in my neighborhood, black eye, concussion (I was wearing a helmet), horrible road rash (I was wearing a winter hoodie but it rolled up on me).

They're fun, they're cool, but they're so simple to use you forget about your abilities.

Ctrl+Shift+I on Chrome opens developer tools. There is an "offline" checkbox you can click.

When your only tool is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

This looks like a hardware guy looking for a hardware solution. Think me may have given up too easily on a software solution?

For fun I ported the C++ to Python and Cython without any kind of mathematical or programmatic optimizations. C++ was 0.5 seconds, then Python was 5.0 seconds. Cython, which was the same exact code as Python except sprinkled with "cdef long" to declare C types, was just 0.7 seconds.

Slashdot was running this story:

ccache is your friend ;-)

Wonder if the already-installed app is still usable or if it relied on some Google services. If it was still usable I hope Google did a remote removal of it.

Great... now put the camera in Mario's head and let me play some FPS mario

When will this end?

This only happens because of proprietary software shipped in binary format. I'm not against proprietary software, but at some point vendors need to ship in a different format like LLVM bitcode or something that the customer can re-target.

Language interop in 2017 is still pretty dismal.

C is still the common denominator, you'd think it'd be easy, but it's hard. Years ago when LLVM was showing promise and Google was going to get Python running on top of it I was hopeful.

I guess nowadays it's a better design to run separate processes and have your languages communicate out of process (pipes, http, etc) rather than in-process.

The GIL is a legit pain when dealing with GUIs.

When you're jumping between C/C++ code and Python code you don't care much about the GIL... until you have a GUI which needs to be kept responsive and needs the GIL to do so.

Perhaps a little unrelated, I used the rpyc package to get Jython and CPython working together. In the end I was able to use Java libraries from CPython pretty much seamlessly.

I like that it's Debian/Ubuntu based so I can follow instructions for almost anything on the internet. For example, the other day I was looking into VPN solutions and ended up going with IPVanish (I may try out a different one next month)... good luck finding OpenSuse instructions. It's just Ubuntu and if you're lucky, there's an RPM for Fedora/CentOS.

I like Cinnamon. Going forward with GTK3 but not with Gnome3. Nice easy to use interface.

Thanks for getting off-topic. These seem useful... until WSL becomes more mainstream.

Part of my workflow involves using ncat.exe to use git over a socks/ssh proxy. A real pain. I noticed scoop has nc but not ncat.

Someone desperately needs to come up with an open source replacement for GitHub that is completely decentralized. Sure GitLab exists and the repo is decentralized since it's Git, but issues, merge requests, comments, etc aren't Git based (though they could be)

ipfs?

They all need to figure out how to interoperate. It's not just all the services it's all the devices that can only connect to 3 out of the 5 services

... for loose interpretations of the word summary ;-)
