It's hard to take seriously someone who doesn't hold the same speculations about the future as yours?

It comes [this paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/616.pdf) which made the HN front page at its time. The battery API exposes information about the current charge of the battery and its full charge capacity that is apparently a non-negligible fingerprinting vector for short-term tracking.

Those are laptops with SSD. Laptops with HDD come in with 1TB+

I think this analogy is misleading as we tend to visualize animals by size and not by weight.

The point being when you decriminalize it becomes accessible both to those who "really want" it and those who just would be curious to try it.

Atom will die with Electron in a not so distant future.

I didn't put much toughs about it regarding life goals and aspirations, but regarding little creative projects, I've found that it's really hard to focus just on one thing because passion for the project progressively drops while ideas for new projects flourish.

I've tried sticking to doing one and only one project, but all what happened is that my passion dropped to the point of zero productivity and I was doing nothing. Can't start a new project because this one isn't finished. Can't finish this project because new ones are more interesting.

I imagine that it's about the same for life, and that the solution is so much more complex.

Could you elaborate on what are the complaints you've heard about "variable assigning, mutable variables, lambdas"? Just curious.

Your beauty criteria incurs a 1/65 loss. This is why.

Might be true for people who know what they're doing. However I've seen a decrease in the number of toolbars installed in my mom's computer since I've installed an antivirus.

Well they're not gonna wait the whole world to be ready to start introducing self-driving cars in areas where they're ready, so it really depends on where live those people who "jump up enthusiastically"

For me having to read even the ugliest code is better than having to horizontally scroll. Anyone who thinks there is a single one line of code for which it's legit to go beyond 80 characters is either masochist or using a view with more than 80 characters in available width.

It has always seemed to me that Python 3 was mainly a fix on the philosophy of handling strings, but that it didn't offered a clear practical advantage for programmers already handling strings with care. I don't think there is a practical reason to upgrade to Python 3 in terms of language design. The reason will be in term of survival as the community seems to be willing to follow the Python 3 movement and official support for Python 2 ends in 2020.

Time to introduce Python 4.

I've seen multiple amateur projects handle the Reddit hug like champs because they were static front-ends hosted on GitHub Pages with cautious AJAX calls to backend APIs. With a limit on 100,000 requests per month (which could be consumed in a few hours in such case) I guess this era is over.
