Perhaps in a few years we can have another PEP, to require "except BaseException" to be replaced with bare "except:". Then we can all change our code back again.
In the same boat, and agree that the first one was the worst because of the unknowns and associated pain.
That does not mean the later ones were less painful, but knowing what to expect, recognizing the symptoms early, and getting mentally ready go a long way. A well stocked medical cabinet with potent pain killers is a must, and I don't take long trips without them either.
Unfortunately, not all will pass naturally, depending on size and shape, so I'm looking forward to having this option available when needed.
If you've not had it, I cannot more highly recommend ESWL. In my case, it just felt like some light bruising for a day or two, and otherwise an 8mm stone in my kidney was obliterated with no effects.
Had it a couple times. I usually try to let the stones pass naturally, unless of course they get stuck. Success rate for the targeted stone has been 100%. Recovery has been quick with minimal bruising, first day getting up was a bit painful without painkillers. I do have a bit of concern about the impact of ESWL on the long term health of my kidneys.
In ye olden days, Apple didn’t have its own mapping application, and Google Maps was the default map application for iOS. That changed in iOS 6 when Apple launched Apple Maps, users were defaulted to the inferior app. Google Maps wouldn’t launch its own standalone app on iOS for months (years?).
Mostly right... since iOS came out there has been an app called maps, which was using google apis until iOS6, which is the point people started differentiating "Apple Maps" and "Google maps".
IIRC, one of the big reasons it was an upsetting change is there wasn't an option to change default apps and google didn't even have a maps app when iOS6 dropped, so if someone sent you an address, or you clicked on an address link, it always would open in the apple version. Which at the time was dogshit terrible, it was like stepping back in time 5 years.
