In the OG RFC 2396, each _path segment_ can specify parameters similar to query parameters, but using a semicolon to separate them to the main segment value instead of question mar…

This happened just last year IIRC in Korea. Nothing was in serious danger (except maybe some travel schedules). A comment already described the mechanism and why that’s not really …

Because merging into main better exposes the proposal to a more diverse crowd and attracts needed feedback. Especially when you’re managing multiple proposed features, it’s not via…

Forwarding itself is trivial, just ~5 lines in __getattr__. The difficulty comes when you need to type check the thing. Fixing that would require some special treatment on the type…

They offer educational content. From limited consumption I would not rate it as high quality. More like acceptable I guess.

> The few people who do need it every day can probably work it out for themselves. People are much less sensitive to their own body odor than you may assume. Please default to taki…

I don’t know the exact history, but the rest of the metric system is designed with a base unit and decimal derivatives. Assuming we want to keep the day length consistent (I can’t …

I think the parent’s logic is the other way around: the rule of law isn’t overwhelmingly relevant in China, so it’s no surprise the VPN law isn’t enforced. You may want to contend …

I’m pretty sure they started put as the exact numbers and were just shortened eventually for convenience. This kind of compound word shortening happens all the time in all language…

I have this done to me a lot and honestly don’t feel a thing. People don’t really care about other people’s coding styles anyway (except they all suck); the thing got done, everyon…

Side note, but do you mean it reeks of a witch hunt? (Just making sure.)

I’m really unsure about the Chinese milk scandal analogy. While the Vioxx incident is definitely terrible on its own and may indicate the US government and merchants do not take en…

I believe it’s more like half of the Japanese gairaigo (Chinese excluded) come from English, not half of the entirety of Japanese.

Welcome to the Python community, where type highlighting is a first class syntax feature, but actually checking it is optional (unlike the TypeScript compiler), and you get people …

I’m glad he decided to invent an English Literature correspondent to pick on, and also the 1990s was a better society than one that votes to poison a disliked person.

Technically the string return type is just a shorthand, IIRC render_template returns a Response object that sets Content-Type and other things appropriately. But yeah it’s pretty t…

I used to mainly develop in C++ and implicit this was so frustrating. Nowadays it’s mostly Python and the explicit self is simply not an issue. (I also worked on Objective-C code a…

There are multiple factors and I’m not sure what the exact cause is either. The relative difficulty to build a playable bot is one. A Go game being relatively long and taxing may b…

> ERNIE’s opinions are surprising, to say the least. It believes the best American president is Richard Nixon To an American. Nixon was the first ever president to visit the Commun…

The practice used to be prevalent throughout the Sinosphere but felt out of favour a bit in recent years.

I’m not objecting to what you say. The latter part of my comment is simply considering cases where you only want to replace a part of the function (the author have some examples on…

There are examples of decorators having no runtime effects, such as typing.overload. Bit comments are probably more flexible here since it allows arbitrary blocks, not just functio…

With modern caching don’t you also only download the web app once as well? I feel the reason web is worse is more because the download happens right before you want to use it, not …

Python also has the DBAPI specification, which defines what interface a library must support to be considered a database driver. The author claiming Go’s sql package encourages wri…
