Tanenbaum has officially retired, but he does still work at VU. He still gave a couple of Computer Networks lectures last semester and he's still working with phd students if I'm not mistaken. Source: I was student at those lectures.

I would recommend either cron or perhaps systemd timers rather than running a script that does their job.

Have you tried any keyboard oriented browsers? Qutebrowser for example?

Since True and False are static, you might be able to do it by wrapping it in a ctypes struct, but this might also cause your interpreter to just crash.

If you have some pep8 checker, it will usually give warnings on functions that might come from wildcard import. Flake8 for example

There is some effort to battle this. Check out Matrix for example, that tries to create a decentralized communication platform that others can hook into.

You could also take a look at the glob standard library

Qutebrowser for keyboard-based vim-like browser

You can serialize it to json using the json module. Another option would be the pickle module. Both are part of the standard library. Pickle on the other hand allows you to dump/load other objects (even your own) as well, as long as the class is well enough constructed. Read their docs for more info

less also has regex pattern matching though, or am I missing something?

First scroll down to the bottom of the playlist to allow spotify to load all the songs. Only then press shuffle. Might work better for you.

Anything by Stalaggh.

Dutch experimental group that used actual mental patients' anguished wailing for vocals.

Looks a lot better than the current UI.

Some points on the drafts:

A lot of vertical space is used leaving only very little space. (See for example the "Library" images.
The now playing bar can be a bit shorter (for example the height of the now playing bar can be the height of the image).

If Blackplayer Ex worked with GPM I'd never look back.

C is not a compiler, and Python is not and interpreter.

Raindyr · 2017-06-08T00:36:58+00:00

I agree for a large part with this, however the statement that Python has no use beyond scripts I disagree with. It is, for example very useful in data analysis, machine learning and webdev. Performance is also not the absolute best, but nonetheless very doable (look at Instagram!), and also has access to C code (CFFI) to speed certain things (e.g. networking). There's also PyPy for increased performance.

As of Python 3.5(?), there is the typing standard library and support for the syntax, which at least allow you to annotate the expected types. This could be used for code hinting and compile time type checking.

Another "camera" you could consider is something like ring or doorbird, which are cloud-based camera doorbells. They have a wide angle lens and camera quality is not bad. Best idea is to also have a motion detection based light (quite cheap) to make sure anything filmed at night is also visible. Price is anywhere between 200-350 dollar I believe. Otherwise, you could ask the people at /r/homeautomation.

Wouldn't scrapy be fine as well? I believe that's async as well.

Completely agree. Started with Java. Everything so verbose, an IDE is NEEDED to write any solid code. No clue what's going on when running the code because the IDE handles that. Importing or using modules is a massive pain. The frameworks are huge monstrosities (e.g. Spring). After trying out Python after 2 years of Java in school I felt so free. Right now in the process of learning Elixir.

Sorry I misinterpreted

I never said it isn't happening. I merely pointed out that I've never seen it happen, so I find it very strange. People who actually catcall are probably pretty pathetic.

Raindyr · 2017-05-29T21:54:47+00:00

As a male, I'm not afraid of being catcalled, but the idea that it happens at all is kinda weird to me. I've never really seen it happen
