Re:Taco Bell voted best Mexican restaurant in the country on Wednesday September 12, 2018 @01:14AM (#17965719)
As Mexican I refuse to recognize Taco Bell as a Mexican Restaurant.

It has nothing to do with the Mexican gastronomy and most mexicans living in Mexico would refuse to eat there.

Basically the problem here is that the author didn't care even a little to understand why accounting is done with a double entry system.

Basically what he was trying to do here was a expense and income administrator with tags. That it's just a part of what bookkeeping and accounting is.

Nice try. But you can't replace what works and what has been done for reliability and confidence since 1400 at least by the masters of trade.

They aren't try to have a currency. They are trying to build a network and sell shares of that network backed on the term "currency".

The conflict in Colombia isn't ended yet, the ELN hasn't signed the cease-fire.
Re:Colombia’s Milestone in World Peace on Friday August 26, 2016 @07:59PM (#12370138)
No. The EZLN (Zapatista Army) surrendered in 1994 and in 1996 there was signed a Peace Accord with them.

The conflict in Colombia isn't ended yet though, the ELN hasn't signed the cease-fire.

Re:Python idioms I wish I'd learned earlier on Thursday November 27, 2014 @01:52AM (#8666286)
Besides you can write code like this

   s = {'square': lambda x: x **2, 'simple': lambda x: x, 'cube': lambda x: x ** 3}

   s.get('square', lambda x: 0)(10)
   s.get('nonexistent', lambda x: 0)(10)
Substitute lambdas for real functions and you have a powerful switch case.

They should hire some usability engineers and shot the ones who did design RetailLink user interface.
Are they rebuilding RetailLink? It is the most horrible piece of software ever.
