Anyone struggling with slow mypy should really update to latest version. This years releases has focused on performance and it has payed off. Add the boost from latest Python versions to that and you can see 50% type checking improvements.

Tangential question. Why does every app still need its own auto-update framework? Shouldn’t we all rely on app-stores and package managers for this?

Look at the how timers are adjusted in the Clock app on iPhone. Three rotary tumblers that can all be set independently.

This article doesn't even mention the worst part of the update. Frame rate has dropped remarkably. iOS used to have flawless smooth animations, with 0 dropped frames, setting the industry standard. Now every interaction with the phone

You write the ffi once and let hundreds or thousands of other developers use it. For one off executables it rarely make sense. Mixing the use with other libraries provided by the Python ecosystem is a another scenario. Do you really want to

In true Microsoft spirit, they completely tanked the name. This was launched just shortly after GitHub Copilot was the hottest trend. Everyone associates Copilot with GitHub and think it's a developer-product, not an office-product. Ch

This is a great compromise given how much would break if this was the default. Making this the default would be better in the long-run, require taming the abuse of side-effects in imports too, win-win. If one could dream, modules should hav

If your local hairdresser gives you a cheaper price when paying cash, wouldn't you assume tax evasion? (criminal). Someone selling a used bike, or other items of similar value, on second hand market and not accepting Swish would maybe

Serving users is one thing. Then you want to run some interactive analytics or cronjobs for cleanup etc on the db. Even if the load can manage it, how would the admin jobs connect to the database. I’ve never seen a db with only one client.

Their claim that every request goes through the hot path of a central auth db is stretching the truth quite a bit. With Oauth2 you get a signed access token once from the Id Provider, then you reuse this token several times until it’s given

Good advice. Though I’d say you can count the cloud storage as 2 copies. They typically replicate the data to three drives, that covers all the typical failure modes you’d normally get when running a drive yourself. Then with a simple click

Too bad Mojo gave up on Python compatibility on code level. Now it’s just one of a dozen “Python inspired” languages, with the only benefit that they aim for easily calling into other Python code.

Java on the other hand had the most verbose syntax known to man, especially those early versions of it. Nowadays it’s getting more tolerable.

This is trivial to solve by simply not having circular imports. Place the types in one file and the usage of it in others. This has many benefits, like forcing you to think about the dependencies and layers of your architecture. Here is a g

Why do we need these special languages just to get adequate typesetting and kerning? In the end it’s just a paragraph of text constrained to a column. Because let’s be honest, this is why most people use LaTeX, not because they enjoy how to

I thought the same until I read the page and realized that ssh is quite broken if you think about it. With ssh everybody does TOFU or copies host fingerprints around, vs https where setting up letsencrypt is a no-brainer and you’re a weirdo

Why are they supporting Android 5? It’s over 10 years old, the devices running it after updates even older. Mobile devices from that era must have a real tough time to browse the modern bloated web. It shouldn’t even be possible to publish

Yeah. While this narrative style tries to explain what things are done, it instead often leaves the question: Why are we doing this at all? Commit #1 adds a helper function for whatever, looks innocent enough, implementation is correct. Bel

Hard to see if this is /s or not. Nobody is forcing you to run images straight from dockerhub lol. Every host keeps the images already on it. Running a in-house registry is also a good idea.

Like rock paper scissors, there are multiple dimensions to power and the state doesn’t always possess all of them. Media being the most obvious one (fourth estate). Federal bank another. As the split of government and parliament.

Many performance problems on YouTube are because they now force everyone to use the latest heavy codecs, even when your hardware does not have acceleration for it. I have a laptop that is plenty powerful for everything else and plays 4K h26

Kubernetes? Yes, it has a higher learning-curve than incrementally extending your constantly growing deploy.sh-script and there are many moments when it's complex and overkill. When you really need it though, no amount of in-house sysa
