Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don’t remember). That’s why it’s called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone

HTML is not even a tree (XHTML is. XML is a type 2 grammar). SGML languages like HTML are more similar to Tree-adjoining grammars.

For example <b>This<i>is perfectly</b>valid</i> html.

Under this definition, using mspaint is programming

If it’s a verb it should be a button, not a toggle

Ctrl+break doesn’t do anything on my machine. Ctrl+c stops a process.

Probably not starting a lot of new projects in them, but there’s loads of valuable software literally being the main income for companies in all of them.

Next, Angular, Django, RoR?

So, safari in ipadOS (that’s the only place I use safari) works the same way, and it’s as annoying as it sounds.

No, just fat fingered a bunch of words and didn’t check.

Why are you arguing against yourself? In the comment I replied to you asked if we didn’t have a word for South American, and we do, it just doesn’t mean the same (edit: because those aren’t continents in the Continental model used back when the Americas were being colonized). I’m not sure what you’re arguing anymore other than trolling.

Huh? That article backs me up?

Most English-speaking countries recognize seven regions as continents.

Different variations with fewer continents merge some of these regions

The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.

It varies from country to country. Can be either.

It would be like telling French people they’re not allowed to call their arm a bras because it refers to an article of clothing in English.

And yet I’ve seen so many Americans chastising Spanish speaking people for saying the color black in their own language.

No soy mexicano, pero hablando en español, si (en los mismos contextos que un francés diría que es europeo, por ejemplo). América es el nombre tradicional del Continente completo.

In southern European tradition (which ends up in Latin America), those are not continents but regions. America is the Continent.

Wtf is an ounce? Scientist

So looking at it it has no resemblance to python syntax, but it does use typical python library semantics.
