The policies I mentioned (just as nepo-baby Mamdani's programs to abolish programs for gifted children) have, of course, precisely and deliberately the effect of cementing an exist…

And of course the reason that there is a lot VC capital in Europe has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you'd be crazy to do a startup in e.g. Denmark (because doing so w…

The problem with f-strings is that they make an extremely limited use case convenient (bashing unstructured text) and thus people people invariably use them for the less limited us…

My memory is that ES6's template strings preceded f-strings. If that is correct, do you happen to know why python was saddled with f-strings, which seem like an obviously inferior …

Unless there is a quoted comma or an empty column beforehand (nl “helpfully” skips empty lines for numbering purposes).

I don't doubt you, but maybe your usage was never much memory constrained on either macOS or linux? What sort of software are you running? For what it's worth, I've got an even low…

Of course -- thanks!

Apple's computers appear to have working memory management, whilst Linux doesn't. Anecdotally, an old 8GiB intel mac feels fine, an enormously more powerful 16 GiB linux laptop wit…
