Because most places you’d use it already has free WiFi (home, office, train, coffee shop, etc), and everywhere else you can just tether from the phone, so there’s no point paying a separate bill just for the laptop.

But you can still get a laptop with lte, it’s an option if you need it. My x1 yoga has a sim slot. Or you can get a usb dongle.

Makes perfect sense. If you’re checking if a collection is empty you don’t need to know its exact size. Getting the size can be very inefficient in collections like linked lists or trees, if you have to follow all nodes. To check if it’s empty, all you need fo know if at least one item exists. If one does, there’s no point counting the rest.

People who don’t understand the difference will probably not understand the difference between passing a list and passing an literator/generator to any() .

It’s just how pythonic code is written. All python developers know that not and bool can indicate that variable is either empty or null. They will also use the in operator and other python specific syntax.

It was ACDC so pretty huge. I couldn’t get a ticket in my city, had to fly to Warsaw.

Never. Fuck concerts. The last time the security took the cap off my water bottle. The tickets are difficult to get, and the music is too loud. Not to mention the sea of smartphone screens blocking the view!

Docstrings are important and their role is different than comments. They give an overview how the function works, explain parameters and sometimes give examples how to use them. You can generate documentation using sphinx from Docstrings, and as others said IDEs use docstrings to show you information about function you’re using.

Comments are just text that gets ignored by interpreter. You can add explanation to code if it’s not self explanatory, but they’re not useful outside of the immediate area being commented on.

Other languages also have documentation options that is separate from comments, e.g. JavaDoc. The syntax is usually similar to coment, but slightly different to differentiate it from comments (extra * in multiline comment).

I think his conclusion was the same as yours. He learned the engineering lesson and added the human skills.

If you answer in the language you know best, it’ll be easier to others to understand or translate, especially if it’s English.

You could translate your message to match the language of the comment, but if you don’t know the language, how can you know if it conveys your message correctly?

Overall, I’d say it depends on the specific community. If you try to inject yourself into a conversation in a Japanese language community, it may indeed come off as rude or ignorant.

The best solution may be to post in both languages?

Most people just use the web interface

The thing about email is that the software is proprietary. Each of these providers has their own implementation of the interface, features, and integration with their tools (Google drive, photos, etc).

As long as lemmy servers run lemmy software, this won’t happen, or at least won’t be an issue as you can move to another server and not have to change your usage habits.

However if some server owners decide to fork Lemmy and develop their proprietary server, overhaul the UI, add features and attract users, it will start to become a problem.

I think the issue is that the teabag has to be shocked with boiling water at 100C, not dampened in increasingly hot water. It may not taste as good.

I don’t know if you can boil water in a microwave, but it’s not a kettle, it’s a closed container and you can expect loads of vapour from boiling.

Finally, microwave doesn’t heat stuff evenly, so you may end up with parts of the water superheated, and explode in your face when you take out the cup from the microwave. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18822#%3A~%3Atext=Microwaved+water+and+other+liquids%2Cit%2C+which+can+cause+injury

Static set argument?

Because recreating entire object just to make a single change is dumb.

God help you if you’ve already passed the object by reference and have to chase up all the references to point at the new version!

I thought it was intentional AI slop

The example you have given actually highlights the need for notification. If you think the notification would be annoying, imagine your time changing automatically without you knowing!

Obvious it’s blow dart

So, Bluetooth?

In Ireland it’s common to say “not too bad”

So? They can just steal it back 🤷‍♂️
