Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don’t remember). That’s why it’s called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar

tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone

HTML is not even a tree (XHTML is. XML is a type 2 grammar). SGML languages like HTML are more similar to Tree-adjoining grammars.

For example <b>This<i>is perfectly</b>valid</i> html.

Under this definition, using mspaint is programming

If it’s a verb it should be a button, not a toggle

Ctrl+break doesn’t do anything on my machine. Ctrl+c stops a process.

That doesn’t even mention the changes to webrequest. Here’s an intro: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/blocking-web-requests/

until June 24 also the adblocker devs have updated their products for sure.

If you understood the differences between manifest v2 and v3 you’d understand that it’s pretty much impossible to make an ad blocker with the same effectiveness in V3 as in V2.

So they will exist, just be worse.

The V3 version of ublock should really use a different name to make it clear it doesn’t have the same capabilities as in V2/Firefox. Maybe something like UBlock use-firefox-instead.

What? The early Internet underseas cables were laid down for phones, mostly by private companies.

Probably not starting a lot of new projects in them, but there’s loads of valuable software literally being the main income for companies in all of them.

Next, Angular, Django, RoR?

I’d need to look up the dates, but he might’ve started creating the languages even earlier than that

What? No. First was the story of Arda in a prototype version of the Silmarillon and Unfinished Tales.

Actually for most people, the browser sends enough information in the headers, ignoring cookies, to identify them as unique. You can check out an experiment about this at https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint. Combining that with an ip gets you pretty close.

I know what you mean and I also find western support of Israel appalling, but the meme is literally about the lack of support to Hamas, which makes sense given how they also like to randomly kill civilians.

So looking at it it has no resemblance to python syntax, but it does use typical python library semantics.
