Isn’t it a better use of our time figuring out why these poor souls keep accidentally opening vi/vim at the first place? Maybe defaults are not what they ought to be. (But if it’s intentional then RTFQ — sincerely your local curmudgeo

I personally use notion for task management. It’s straightforward to create a view that’s grouped by “status” (or anything) to mimic the kanban swim-lanes. Afterwards it’s a matter of good kanban hygiene (eg <= N active tasks at any give

My beef with TDD is most every resource merely parrots the steps (red,green,..). No one teaches it well from what I have found. Nor am I convinced it’s easy to teach. I have picked up what I can by watching (what I believe) good TDD practit

Well said! I know we dont get paid by LOC but this recent obsession with compressing everything into a single line is off-putting.

If you are lucky (working with a mature codebase), tests are my number one go to when getting started. I need to know input/output of things. I work in ml space so ymmv. This allows me to make small changes and check my assumptions as

How do we turn these anecdata/tweets to bona fide dataset? Some sorta crowdsourcing? Eg I have been extensively comparing (personal) experience across Google, DDG, You.com, kagi etc. Thus far, I keep coming back to good old google.

Death is the ultimate equalizer. We take solace in the fact that no matter how rich, brutal, tyrannical, comically-villainous one is, death will surely come for us all. The day old-gizzards figure out how to sip on young-people juice and li

I tried you.com[1]. The first few results seem quite relevant. Best part is that you can actually personalize the weights to assign to your search (your very own bubble) https://you.com/search?q=code%20that%20protects%20user

Thanks. You do make a lot of good points. Attrs just has the features I need for now. It certainly feel a touch verbose but I’m happy to pay the price.

dataclasses also have the slots kwargs since 3.10. Should help with faster access and memory

by ahurmazda 5y ago
Do you have concern with speed or memory footprint of pydantic compared to the rest (attrs, dataclasses etc)? Pydantic seems insistent on parsing/validating the types at runtime (which makes good sense for something like FastAPI).

I’ve been using it for the past quarter. In addition to the speed, I’m very pleased with the pyspark-esque api. This means migrating code from research to production is that much easier.

Ah! Great to know. ANN searches are becoming table stakes at this point. Hopefully, we will see more and more platforms adding it to their repertoire.

More or less but as always the devil is in the detail. Here is a paper[1] that summarizes issues with naive approaches. Incidentally. the proposed solution (Hierarchical NSW) in this paper performed fairly well in the industry benchmarks [1
