You mean like the recent issue that affected over a hundred papers because they assumed Python's glob module returned files in a sorted fashion and they depended upon the order the files were processed?
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoWell, that's kinda what I was saying. How useful is your code really, if it depends on the order in a list of files in a fragile way that's hard to fix if the order changes?
- Dylan16807 7y agoProbably very useful. Any big codebase is going to have lots of implicit dependencies by accident. It requires active development to stay compatible, and it's okay to not be perfect.
