I don't think it's clever, it's quite unintuitive and ugly. To me anyway. If the author really wanted to cram everything into a list comprehension, the logical way to think about it is:

    (
        (int(tsc, 16), int(pc, 16))
        for tsc, _, pc, *_ in (line.strip().split(",") for line in fp)
    ),
Which is, of course, almost as ugly. Just use a for loop and yield

Yeah, that's true, that day will come. Just like there will come a day you will go outside for the last time, have your favorite meal a last time, listen to a song for the last time or breathe for the last time. It's a sobering thought. But until that day you have plenty of opportunities to do all those things, and that includes loving new people!

I never used this feature personally. Do you think it’s better than a separate profile which you can launch with -p flag or a profile switcher extension?

Hi, I'm a Data Scientist with experience building and maintaining all kinds of Data and AI products for e-commerce (recommender systems, search, ranking, computer vision). I consider myself a generalist, so I'm interested and have experience in multiple different aspects of a modern AI/ML solution, including data gathering and analysis, data pipelining, large scale processing, model building and tuning, model serving, distributed systems, etc. In summary, I love building software for AI/ML :)

This reminds of a story that ran in the news last year.

It is not ok for a retail company to profile your underage daughter, find out that she is probably pregnant (before you do!) and then do targeted advertisement. That is wrong and more than a little creepy.

I think the point is that those jihadists in Yemen are the direct result of this sort of thing happening in their home towns. It's very easy to recruit someone when they just saw a whole bus of their friends and family being blown off by reasons they can't understand, from a robot in the sky, being controlled by someone miles away.

It's a whole chicken and the egg thing.

Thanks for the clarification. Glad to see it's not so bad afterall.

This is interesting. It has been almost a year since the deadline for the implementation. I have no indication that anything changed at all. Take the following google search experiment

  site:gov.pt filetype:doc (90k results)
  site:gov.pt filetype:docx (451 results)
  site:gov.pt filetype:odf (0 results)
Maybe that's not fair, as the final deadline is actually in July of next year. I guess, as a portuguese, I should know better than to expect things to get done before the very last moment.
