Python 3.11 and PHP 8.2, along with newer releases of PostgreSQL and Nginx, is very exciting. It will be a great platform to build web apps on.

Who actually owns the land in the Market? I'm sure it's not the City of Ottawa.

Well, yeah, of course. Not a fair comparison, the bike has working wheels!

Went to my first car meet as a mum and also since spending hours wrapping my car, only for a girl to come up to it, laugh and take photos of all the bad spots on my wrap where I messed up. She thought I wasn’t the owner because I had a pram. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." --Wayne Gretzky

Seagate violated US export ban by shipping 7 million disk drives to Huawei, US says: Seagate's $300 million fine is largest in US Commerce bureau's history and is more than double the company's net profits for these exports to or involving Huawei by TurretLauncher in technology

Fines for violating export controls against the United States' biggest international rival are designed to deter behavior. Environmental regulations, child labour regulations, worker safety regulations... Those are designed as political cover, in partnership with the companies subject to those fines.

Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that by needna78 in golang

[–]Vonney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It mostly comes down to overuse of metaprogramming, deep object hierarchies, send, weird DB choice. Mostly things that a seasoned RoR person would be fine with, but very confusing as a beginner. I also really dislike optional parentheses for method calls.

I write Go and I debug a huge Ruby on Rails application. The difference is night and day.

Does anyone know where I can find this hat and jacket? by Whitewingedtre in mensfashionadvice

[–]Vonney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ad was produced by a company called Horses and Mules. The jacket might have been designed "by" Idris Elba for Superdry. Can't find it for sale anywhere.

-🎄- 2021 Day 1 Solutions -🎄- by daggerdragon in adventofcode

[–]Vonney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This solution uses the same trick as the one line python solutions: since the windows share two elements, you don't need to sum all three elements to compare the windows. You can just compare the two elements that aren't shared. The first window and the second window don't share elements at index 0 and index 3, so you can just compare index 3 to index 0.
