"Luna" also means "moon" in most Slavic languages so it looks like it's intentional.

The distinction is that ‘function’ is a type which you can check as in isinstance(obj, types.FunctionType)

Just an fyi, the name of this library is the most common swear word in Russian.

I’m surprised at how the author fails to mention fmtlib [1] with near-printf-like performance and sane (Python .format-like) formatting syntax, which also happens to generate much smaller binaries than Boost.Format. [1] https://g

Well. That depends :) I don't develop in Emacs and use it solely for hosting Magit, in a separate window. So it's kind of a GUI I guess; more so than a CLI anyway. > It's Achilles' heel is speed, though -- too damn sl

Second that; I'm using Spacemacs just for Magit and nothing else, although it's mainly vim or clion for development. Haven't seen a single git client that would be close to Magit; too sad it needs Emacs, could have potentiall

There are GUIs that are very close to CLI that don't try to reinvent a wheel and instead just map directly to what git does. The best one, I think, being Magit for Emacs (if you can call that a 'GUI' given you can run it in t

One side advice - if you happen to be using a Windows computer, ditch it; get any Linux one, or a Mac if you can afford it. Get used to the shell; learn the basic tools like grep, learn some coreutils; get generally familiar with all things

An example - as a 1st year grad student, I had to review a number of articles in 'top-ranked' journals, just because my supervisor preferred to dump it on me rather than bother to do it himself...

Hovering over half a hundred tabs just to be able to find their name is not fun. Also, the 'column' tabs should be hidden, so there's no mirroring.

Marshmallow doesn't suppport some trivial constructs like nested dicts, and isn't likely to: https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow/issues/483 To me, that's a complete showstopper.

I use Razer mice exclusively for a good while now; find them a lot more ergonomic than whatever else I tried as a person with relatively large hands. Quality-wise, they're just fine, don't remember a single one actually breaking.

Yep. We have 1TB RAM on our production boxes today where I work; but 150 GHz is pretty far from being true...

clang-tidy has a few 'modernize' type lints; it's far from comprehensive but it's something.

It’s really not fair to compare CPython with LuaJIT. If you compare LuaJIT with PyPy or Numba, the “much faster” argument will simply not be true. What’s different is that both of the above only cover a part of the language, but for specia
