Please see Raymond Hettinger's keynote on efficiently handling bugs[0]. He makes the case that static type checking is a boon for Python except for in specific programs that make extensive use of covariant and/or contravariant typ

I'm aware that I'm abusing the tool, but I wrote a htmx extension that overrides the mimetype and JSON encodes all the parameters. The JSON is decoded into a data bag on the back end. Basically I can do "fuck it over HTTP&quo

We wouldn't think of doing it. This is the kind of thing your auditors would see from outer space. If you're doing this and you don't have auditors, you're lying on your self-assessment questionnaire. Either way your mer

I'm intrigued about ice cream of a specific density. What do you have in mind with that?

It seems to me that the average person around me remembers more than the ancients had the ability to even know. To your point of "pointless essays teach children how to write to an audience", there are entire populations of people

All my friends who think neoliberalism = "placing one's head in one's ass" call themselves "socialists". You are correct that they're ridiculed, though.

Not once have I seen a "Musk to acquire free speech platform Twitter" headline. I wonder why Parler gets that distinction, but other platforms don't.

Is it an option to tokenize the recurring payments across both providers, but only charge on one provider at a time?

This is a funny thing for me to read. The reason I enjoy programming is because the act of programming feels to me much like playing a puzzle game.

Last year Tesla sold about one million vehicles while Toyota sold about ten million. Are you sure people don't want Toyotas?

This only convinces me dealerships should be gotten rid of. That's a lot of money sucked out of the car buying process. I'd rather pay less to a manufacturer than pay for a dealer to own a town in PA.

People really seem to miss that complaining about the kind of content on one of the biggest social media platforms on the planet that algorithmically shows you more of what you watch is a huge self-report.

Automated checking of potential bugs in f-strings is hard. There are lots of false positives. You can see some discussion around this kind of rule in pylint [0]. At the end of the day, the choice to run automated linting tools on a repo is

Thank you for the clarification. I definitely agree with you. Unfortunately for me, I still dislike using the declarative frameworks that happen to be in JS.

I'm not sure I understand your point here. I would say I "hate writing javascript", but I think the point you're making is I "hate DOM manipulation". These days I use htmx[0] wherever possible. Notably htmx is

I'm switching from using docker-compose + docker-sync[0] to using mutagen-compose and am recommending my coworkers across Windows, Intel Mac, and Apple Silicon Mac all do the same. For me mutagen-compose is solving the same performance

Things like automating manual workflows, building small infrastructure debugging tools, or providing infrastructure consultation to an engineer trying to decouple two parts of a legacy code base.

Very similar experience here. I work on a two person "DevOps" team. Without AWS ECS we would have to have a much higher headcount. I get to spend most of my time solving real problems for the engineers on the product team rather t

My point was that you can have a conversation with a candidate instead of using arbitrary trivia that is irrelevant to the job and potentially irrelevant to the human you’re interviewing. If you want to find out about someone’s diversity of

If you want to know how curious I am, ask me. If you want to know how disparate my knowledge is, ask me. If you want to know how good I am at guessing from context, ask me. If you're asking about meta-tag trivia, all you're going

Surely you agree that the situation today is quite different than it has been in the last 8 years?

The only language (other than English) taught in my local school district is Spanish. How do you expect US students to learn a language to emigrate somewhere else?

Targeted ads are spam because they try to sell me items I already bought. It's like the crap on the front of a shopping receipt.

I also read it as "baked into PinePhone". As to why, well the headline didn't include the fact that the PinePhone ships with no software. So that's not information I had at the time.
