  1. The $9 toll made it worth your money to Uber instead? Seems like your suburb isn't very far. Maybe a train could help you out.
  2. Guitar, make it sound more like someone else's hard work.
  3. This is a very rich man, he is not being forced to do anything. What he does is what he believes and you don't need to spend time coming up with a complex explanation past that. He needs no one's charity.
  4. It's not a python the language feature, it's for packaging. So no language version is relevant. It's just there for any tool that wants to use it. uv, an IDE, or anything else that manages virtual environments would be the ones who implement it independent of python versions.
  5. Lorelei and the Laser eyes was one of my favorite games that I played this past year. I think it might be good for a non-gamer, but they had better absolutely love puzzles. Also some of the puzzles require playing videogames within the main game and I can't remember exactly, but they may not make much sense or be very fun if you don't have experience with like PS1 era horror games.

    For The Witness, I would recommend tagging it as appropriately not accessible. There is a section that can't be completed at all without hearing, and large chunks of the game that I can't imagine are possible with color blindness. I don't have either of these issues, but running into those things really rubbed me the wrong way. It is a game that seems to value the creators vision above all else and isn't willing to make any sacrifices for the audience.

    Edit: I realize I misread and thought you were saying you were going to add The Witness to the non-gamer list, which was why I was saying that a disclaimer would be extra useful. Left it anyway.

  6. A lot of great stuff on there. Random game from last year that feels like it would fit well is Chants of Sennaar. Played though it with my non-gaming partner and we had a blast.
  7. The biggest thing that wouldn't be available in Python would be the DSLs. Often they are not my favorite and overused, but they can be very expressive for things like their charting example https://kotlinlang.org/docs/data-analysis-overview.html#kand...
  8. They clearly already had the features mostly done when they made the survey. I recall the questions being extremely leading to get people to say they would like to use a privacy first AI or whatever. After I took it I immediately told people it was clear they were about to announce some AI bloat.
  9. The database of licenses is public through the the ULS [0], and ae7q [1] has a bunch of archives and information about how to use that and provides tools itself that I used when finding a vanity.

  10. My first thought is a java package or mobile app id that you don't want to tie to some real web resource.
  11. The new thing is the specific CPU announcement. I'm pretty sure preorders have stayed open since the initial announcement a few weeks back.
  12. Not sure if any of the existing ones matches what you're looking for, but my understanding is that they offer just what you're looking for: https://frame.work/marketplace/keyboards
  13. Short answer: everything is encrypted. So they could forward it in theory, but it would be unusable downstream anyway. The way you'd have to do it is set up the decryption email bridge on a client and set up some manual forwarding after that on the client side.

    Happy proton user that doesn't need this feature, but gets why it would be frustrating for others who want a clean way to move off if they decide to.

  14. I believe this was docker's (the company) direction for a while, but it was spread across multiple tools. docker-machine does provisioning and docker-swarm runs the compose file on remote hosts.
  15. You would still store both future times with offset. When calculating an offset for a future time you take the future time and the zone together to determine the exact time with offset. DST is predictable.
  16. I was trying to step into the shoes of a less generous reader there, sorry if that wasn't clear. I think the post was clear and I agree. Mozilla is still a massive steward and this post was made to directly address that.
  17. I'd wait a bit and see if this sentiment is common before worrying about it. I found the message clear and believe most others will as well.
  18. While I don't share the sentiment of the OP, I would guess lines like this may be the key for them:

    >Mozilla and the Rust Core Team are happy to announce plans to create a Rust foundation. Our goal is to have the first iteration of the foundation up and running by the end of the year.

    I read this as "Mozilla is currently still largely in control. This is the moment where they will cede to the new, more independent, foundation." But the fact that it follows "Mozilla and the Rust Core Team" with "our" may taint the rest of the use of "our" throughout the post for others.

  19. probably just meant message queues in general.
  20. I think that it's unfortunate they stuck with that example instead of the classic point class example for positional args. In general the positional destructuring is not great, but there are some cases where it is nice and readable. Because of that I'm glad it's not the default that all record classes get it.

        var (f, l) = person;
    
    is gross and hard to understand.

        var (x, y) = point;
    
    is simple and readable.
