Swing or Jazz for analysis and painting diagrams

Heavy Metal for actual development

Bossa Nova for deploying at 1 am

No, but it should be open enough to be reasonably independent of specific services and devices.

I think they should start to think about having a pilot.

Classic big. You just have to set the MANIPULATE env var to false in the container. It's true by default.

Lottery is needed, as it finances time travel.

I'm not sure if this is real or ironic

As a Python enthusiast for 20 years, just ignore and enjoy.

Diskette or disquete was a popular term in Spain for floppies, both 3 and 5 inches. In fact everyone called the disk drive "disquetera".

But a properly built image is a nice part of a product release.

Building a quality production ready image is not trivial, and it's always welcomed from the vendor.

Astronomy usually has that kind of "Lovecraftian" sense of cosmic insignificance when you put things to sacale. Also, being alone at 3am in the middle of nowhere, cold and kind of sleepy, looking at a gas cloud lightyears away, adds to it. But it is also fascinating.

New comment by jmorenoamor in "Python developers are embracing type hints"

jmorenoamor — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 08:33:18 +0000

Coming from Java extreme verbosity, I just loved the freedom of python 20 years ago. Working with complex structures with mixed types was a breeze.

Yes, it was your responsibility to keep track of correctness, but that also taught me to write better code, and better tests.

With a substantial amount of creators relying on paid promotions tu survive, I doubt ad-free is the correct term to be used.

jmorenoamor — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 19:37:04 +0000

Because, as a senior, you usually already know intuitively what a good solution looks like, and you can quickly discard model responses or suggestions that do not align with it.

Unsolicited advertising is a form of violence, the sooner we agree on that, the better.

jmorenoamor — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 20:16:28 +0000

This is not our democratic will. This is the result of the league and the ISPs lobbying very agressively in favour of the blocks.

Everyone is welcome to speak against them :)

This is not an age issue, despite looking like one. This is a matter of agressive lobbying, and putting tons of cash on the case. Major ISPs also offer sports (football) subscriptions, so they are also interested in applying the block.

New comment by jmorenoamor in "We regret but have to temporary suspend the shipments to USA"

jmorenoamor — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 06:19:59 +0000

Everything is paid by the customer. As a manufacturer I can temporaly absorb some costs to keep prices steady, but at some point, I have to adjust prices to maintain a reasonable margin.

So yes, I will pay for my country's tariffs and you will pay for yours.

It's a bad scenario where things are more expensive and both manufacturers and customers get harmed. The only ones winning are, as always, intermediaries.
