This honestly sounds extremely limiting. I do get why you'd want to make functions short in general but I think there's a tipping point where making the functions shorter actually increases overall complexity and 4 lines seems to

Recently I've been involved in transitioning an academic software piece to an open source library. One of the most noticeable things is the different priorities and emphasis on what is driving value in these different environments. The

Honestly I think one of the best ways to find this out is to have people regularly take annual leave, you get a chance to see what they were doing from a different angle when they are not there. Making people take this leave is a really goo

If you want to learn how to make a CMS or just learn more about web development then definitely have a go at making your own website from scratch. If however your main aim is not to learn about technical aspects I'd strongly advise you

Thank you for your time and effort making this!

Would like to thank the people that made this, I found a few things that I can improve for my company site. It's also really good to get a resource that can be shared with other people via a link!

Infinity times something finite is still infinite. I think this distinction isn't as important as telling people how much data their maximum really is based on how much they could actually use through the system

There are times where TDD makes a lot of sense, I find it to be quite useful in situations where you have some sort of known interface you need to implement exactly. In that case writing the tests first tends to save a lot of time overall.

Limited bandwidth means limited data over a finite time frame. Something like "No overages on data; limited bandwidth" would be more accurate.

I think this is why a lot of people vendor dependencies and keep mirrors of anything particularly mission critical that they depend on. I've been involved in situations where this has been done for closed source code too via escrow ser

Consider something like PyPi and the way in which it will host Python packages. There's times with Python that you will not know what packages are dependencies until you actually download it (this you may notice is why Pipenv will take

I'd probably be best described as some combination of a technical manager and a businessman. I write some code but there's people I work with who are much better technologists than I am. A few years back I wrote a cross platform m

My initial impression of the product was that it was a way to see which packages you depend on are looking for support in terms of funding/support. On a non-technical level this would be really good information for us to know because i

Interesting project, would be great if this supported more than just JS projects, I'd be very interested to see some of the dependencies that my current business relies upon.

I highly recommend the type annotations along with mypy for helping code readability in Python

After working in the Python speed optimization space as a consultant for a while I have come to see Cython as not really being the right answer for a lot of situations. The main reason is that CPython is slow but Cython really is quite heav

I think when you really need performance it's a great example of a time to start looking at alternative Python implementations, CPython just isn't the best choice for a lot of tasks that actually have processing speed requirements

Distributing the weights seems to be the safest method, something I'll have to look into a bit more. It's a bit disturbing that training with the same data and same parameters could lead to different weights and therefore differen

Its good to see some discussion about this. I'm currently maintaining an open source automated speech transcription library ( https://github.com/persephone-tools/persephone ) that's being used in some research

Probably because a lot of people are in the situation I'm in where they can't use it on their projects because their clients don't want to have to buy licenses just to verify the results.

I'd love to hear more about this, any links I can look at?

Nice! Is this in a working state?

Reading this makes me realize I had a bias against making lower level integration tests in this situation, definitely something I'll have to look for in the future.

Interesting observations here about team sports have a bunch of extra opportunities for randomness. Do you know if there's anything equivalent to Fargo Rate for snooker (or other individual sports like tennis)?

I found it hilarious that someone else installed "snood" I'd completely forgotten about that game until just then.

What sort of work do you do? I find that the role I have will greatly impact how distractions and conversations will impact my overall productivity.

Lately I've been thinking about this and I feel that it's a prime example of a situation where it's better to measure than assume. I get the impression that there's a particularly compelling assumption to be made that ge
