Eclipse....

From days of symbian carbide, CDT and Android debugging I always used and loved Eclipse. I always loved its interface and gazillion plugins and tools built around it.


I have been learning flask for development. Can someone describe advantages of using Django over flask?

Wasn't this predicted from the times of Carl Sagan. I remember seeing an episode in Cosmos which predicted water vapors evaporating from ice cracks.


Everyone thought water would be more abundant in the solar system than it really is.


It's still pretty dang abundant, though, is it not? Ceres is literally a giant ball of water ice. So is Pluto for the most part (it's even hypothesized to have liquid water under its icy crust). So are most asteroids and comets and dwarf planet(oid)s and gas giant moons. There's massive amounts of it in both Uranus and Neptune.

Like sure, it ain't like 19th century fiction books where space is literally an ocean and the latter part of the word "astronaut" is far more literal than it is now, but water is by no means scarce in the solar system or in the universe as a whole as far as anyone can tell.

If anything, everyone thought water would be less abundant in the solar system than it really is.

Why doesn't kindle support epub out of the box. Is there a some reason for it?. It seem to support mobi out of the box though.

Epub seems to be present everywhere and I always need to convert it to mobi/azw3 while uploading...


> Why doesn't kindle support epub out of the box.

Almost definitely money. Amazon want you locked into their ecosystem as much as possible.


I put all my books on my Kindle through Calibre - couldn't care less about the format.


Rename it png and email it.


Seriously? I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

But you do bring up an interesting point - I'd forgotten about ingestion via email. Worst case I suppose one might construct a pipeline that does conversion from epub to mobi and emails the result.

Is there a limit to the size of the library I wonder?


You can send epub to your send to kindle email address with the word “convert” in the subject line and it’ll transform it into a mobi... as far as I know..

Edit: apparently you need to change the extension to .zip for it to work shrug


It works, you can also use the Send to Kindle app (which is barebones but gets the job done).


Thanks a lot for explanation. Do you suggest any blog/articles to gain such a deep understanding of security vulnerabilities.. thank you.


Obviously No.


This just reminds me of ... "Life always finds a way" and "Life is nothing but an electron looking for a place to rest".
