The first time I tried `pylint` it produced gobs of messages that all seemed to relate to style more than potential problems. That was the last time I tried pylint. There are probably settings/flags/options that make the output more useful but at the time I didn't have the patience to research that at the time. My usage of Python is best described as 'light scripting.' I don't know if it warrants the effort to use some of these tools.
I just tried it again on a 64 line script. Either I'm really bad with white space or `pylint` authors are obsessed with white space. But it looks like the output has been reformatted and it might be useful. (15 comments about white space and style for constants before the first real warning.)
Falling ice is a common issue in the Chicago loop when weather starts to warm and ice on buildings starts to melt and fall off. Just google "chicago killed falling ice" to get an idea of how often this happens.
It is very frustrating to see how ignorant most people are about this. The big telcos have apparently done an excellent job confusing you.
I'm sure it wasn't hard. The most recent 'man on the street' joke posited the question "Should Hillary be impeached?" I don't know how many citizens pointed out that Hillary wasn't president but there was no shortage of people who insisted that her actions warranted impeachment. (Among those who actually knew what impeachment was.)
The dirty little secret of many cloud services is they are sticky... deliberately so.
You could port the custom _____ system your company made targeting AWS to Azure or something else... however unless the system was architected deliberately from the beginning with the idea of portability (which most cloud services are not).
Even if the platform is easy to re-target, the underlying data may not be.
I've been involved in projects where it was known up front that once customers have a few petabytes in one particular cloud, they were less incentivized to move.
It sounds like you speak from experience. I have no experience with web development or cloud computing but would have thought that it would be wise to craft these web apps to avoid lock in. The underlying technology - Linux - is (or could be) common among providers. In addition to ensuring competition, I understand that some big projects are hosted on multiple cloud providers to provide resilience should one provider have an outage. That implies that the data is available to different providers more or less in real time.
I suppose there are costs in time and money to do this and that keeps more projects from employing a multi-provider strategy. But with similar underpinnings I would think that the costs would be less than the cost of porting from one OS to another and that would minimize Amazon's ability to leverage their dominance.
Yes. But "decimate" has been so misused that most people don't understand it means "eliminate 1 in 10."
They're not cutting total production. They're reallocating resources for a different model. "Slashing" is a totally inappropriate description of that, but if you want click bait, it works.
I've seen mayfly hatches show up on weather radar along the upper Mississippi river. I've also seen them pile up to about 4" (100mm) deep under street lights.
My understanding is that superfish was not installed on the Thinkpad line. I did get it with my Lenovo Y50 but it was a non-issue for me since I usually run Linux. My last Thinkpad was a T500 which IIRC was produced after Lenovo bought IBM's laptop business. It was returned twice for a loose charging connection and the fix never lasted more than a month or two. I purchased a Lenovo Y50 after that and it has fared worse than my Thinkpads. That's good to hear your Thinkpad is still working well. I don't see myself buying another.
My first Thinkpad was a 750Cs. I've owned a bunch along the way, upgrading every three years or so. My most recent Thinkpad is a T500. All of them still run. The T500 has an annoyingly loose charging cable socket and for which I returned it twice and which went bad again shortly after return. That was my first inkling that quality and support had slipped. My most recent Lenovo is a Y50 which I'm using to type this. The screen was crap (and which I replaced with an IPS panel.) The case is cracked near the hinges. The touchpad is horrible under Linux and surprisingly, even worse under Windows. (Maybe I need to install Lenovo drivers, but after the Superfish debacle I'm reluctant to install anything from the Lenovo site.) I have a small portable speaker plugged into the audio jack because something has gone bad with built in audio. It continues to go down hill. As almost an aside, I had to replace my wife's Lenovo laptop because the plastic around the hinges busted to the point where it is nearly impossible to open/close the lid w/out the case springing open.
I hope people buying Thinkpads today are getting better build quality and service from them. Based on my other Lenovo experiences I won't buy another.
... strings in pascal/delphi have length incorporated into 'em) unlike C/C++ deal with.
You can't lump C and C++ together in this regard. C does not have strings. It has character arrays and C arrays do not have an associated length. C++ on the other hand has a proper string type which does have a length associated with it. C++ also has various collection classes that can be used in place of arrays which also have count (or som other notion of bounds) associated with them.
Assembly language is also a language. Toggle in the bits directly via the front panel switches, like a real man:)
You are confusing machine code and assembly. An assembler is a program that reads a text file with instruction mnemonics, constants etc. and converts it to machine code. You can enter machine code via a front panel and (if done correctly) expect the results to execute. Not so with assembly./pedantic
I have a 50 inch plasma that pretends to be 1080 but I'm pretty sure it's only 720. And yet cable looks at best OK most of the time. Some content is spectacular, but very little makes that grade. Lots of it is so highly compressed that anything that is not static has a lot of blocky artifacts. (It's Comcastic!) Blu-Ray looks better.
I'm sure if I were to buy a TV today I'd probably get a 4K model. My son bought a new TV a couple years ago and went with 4K because FHD models were feature poor.
I haven't looked at the picture quality lately. I hope something has come along that looks better than plasma.
I think it is instructive that Bing is being used behind the scenes where users are not actually choosing it. Beyond that, they mentioned AOL and Yahoo. Their users are the most unsophisticated users on the Internet and may not even be aware of other search options.
This gedit nonsense is just a small part of the GNOME project destroying itself through the disastrous GNOME 3 released. GNOME 3 is a complete regression compared to the GNOME 2 user experience,...
I won't argue that the developers have made some bade decisions WRT Gnome3. (Personally I'm not happy that I can't configure the system to power off when I hit the power button or easily run a script on startup.)
You're conflating user experience with developer interest. I don't know that developer interest is waning because users are not entirely happy with Gnome3.
I also think that the situation WRT Firefox is entirely different. It came to the fore when the only other choice was IE and IE was languishing. Firefox lost to Chrome when all Google properties suggested to users that they "upgrade to Chrome" for a better experience. Firefox does not have many (any?) properties from which to shill Firefox.
I have a map/navigation app that does that. I only need it when I'm in a place with no data and with no data I am unable to log in. Copilot is the name of the app and it cost me $15. It has let me down more times than I care to remember.

Not true. They have Mothra to defend themselves from Godzilla.

Who tolerated an environment where there was no concern for the security of the data they collected on all of us.
That's the one person who is responsible. Not the scapegoat he is pointing at.

There is only one Office suite that works on all three, and is compatible between all three. And that is AO.
What is "AO?" Microsoft Office? (MO) Open Office? (OO) Libre Office? (LO) Some Other Office Suite? (SOOS)

Hopefully they will do better than commercial devices: The 'S in IoT stands for 'security.'
