Pythonista is a full(-ish) offline Python IDE and has been on the App Store for years.

There’s no reason to believe they won’t have an online copy of the 2020 snapshot too. Isn’t that kind of the point? For future generations to be able to use it?

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing for most repos. Unfortunately.

Then why have the option to delete public repos at all? Public tweets? If we had the means, should the web as a whole be append-only?

There’s a big difference between “public” and “stored in a glacier forever”.

Is there a way to opt out of this? I’m not sure I want my code to be stored forever in a glacier with no way of deleting it.

All problems are small with perspective!

There’s only about 10 million people in Sweden and we’ve produced Saab, Ericsson, Volvo, IKEA, H&M, Spotify, Skype, MySQL to name a few.

I don’t think it’s that uncommon.

It’s pretty clear that the author isn’t using the technical definition of big O but rather is using it in a descriptive way. It’s not ambiguous in any way so what’s the harm?

I’m getting an Internal Server Error at the Tor site, I guess this means it’s more popular than they expected?

> ... Meetup is also adding a new $2 fee every time a person RSVPs for a meetup. Every. Single. Time.

I'm generally in favour of paid products but $2 per RSVP is just... insane.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried that before, without success, but someone else reading this might have better luck.

For what it’s worth this happens both with a 15” and a 13” MBP from different years.

I haven’t thought of it this way before but I think you’re right. External monitor support does break randomly and hardware support through dongles is extremely flakey.

A small excerpt from my personal list of woes:

- Using a USB-c <-> DVI cable gives the monitor a purple hue. An HDMI cable does not. Also, this isn’t an issue in bootcamp.

- Can’t use the serial debugger of a Particle Photon because it can’t use the dongle’s USB-A interface directly.

- Sometimes the Touch Bar goes completely unresponsive for ~10s. Sometimes, after a reboot or after waking from sleep, it just doesn’t start at all.

- At one point the speakers started blasting white noise at the loudest volume for no apparent reason. Closed the lid, opened it, same thing. Rebooted the machine and never encountered that problem again.

- If a certain kind of network error occurs when setting up Time Machine then System Preferences will hang completely for ~5 minutes.

In many ways the experience is what I would expect if I could run Linux on this machine: Hardware kind of works with lots of random bugs.

This might be true, however, I’m of the opinion that the prize should go to people that are making hard choices to de-escalate actual armed conflicts.

Sure but the military... works.

By that logic, you can’t program interrupts with C because “int” is a reserved word.
