Your tool is _much_ more powerful than what I've been doing. I've been looking at things like 'what proportion of functions have docstrings, and what format are they in?' or 'how much of our codebase is using typing

That's a clever way of leveraging existing tooling! I hadn't heard of astroid before, I've always used the built in ast module

This is great! I think I've seen a similar thing used for picking up issues like deprecated usages and things like that. I've found myself manually writing code for finding things in python's AST but a tool like this would be

It doesn't seem like you're asking in good faith. Perhaps the previous poster could have said something like 'in my opinion the NYT editorial line despises...'. A list of articles is a pretty good basis for that sort of

It's compiled with a C++ compiler ('_Z2f2i' in the disassembly) and the function name is 'f.cpp', so I suppose it's in the 'C is a subset of C++' part of C.

How I wish I had this a couple of weeks ago! I was doing a sliding image gallery and this would have been so much nicer than the terrible mess I put together.

It's hard for me to understand how such a small amount could have such a meaningful impact on someone's life. I suppose that says more about me though. Edit: Dolly _personally handed them the cheque_! I could see that being more o

You're right I completely overlooked pipelining. I guess I'm out of my depth here

> "communication usually fails, except by accident" I feel like I don't understand this. Is the idea that you need to try very hard to communicate well?

My understanding (from undergrad a while back) is that they already jimmy the numbers. It used to be that X nm meant that the gate width was X nm. Now it (usually) means that the smallest feature you can find is maybe X nm. Closer to a mark

It begs a question though: How many instructions in <insert ISA here> are equivalent? I assume that a compiler writer has a list of equivalents and will typically choose the shorter one?

Yeah this is far more slick that what I was building. It's such a nice niche because I keep finding that there are easy fixes around me but it's hard for me to make it available for other people

Does anyone know where I could buy this? It would make a family member who speaks French and loves to draw very happy

This is really nice and I love the idea of giving non-technical users access to internal tooling. For python scripts I've had some success with Gooey that turns an ArgParser description into a usable (if ugly) UI running locally. At so

What's your opinion of detecting if output is a tty vs a pipe and adjusting accordingly? 'ls' does this I believe as does 'jq' (much to my irritation)

This is a niche that datasette (by simonw on here) could fill very nicely. If you can wrangle it in to a csv, then datasette can publish it as an api with an sql interface. I'm not sure how this could work with things like photos etc (

This is where I'm at. I don't know if I'll ever get useful software out of it, but I really enjoy the mental challenge. I actually find it a bit of an ugly language to look at (backticks, hanging single quotes etc) but I like

Ah thanks I had heard of and then forgotten about jepsen. I had considered what you described but I thought there might be a more targeted approach where you can specify your invariants (like "x can only be in one of two states" o

I've seen companies reduce top-performing sales people's commission because it was "costing too much money". So the good sales people left and the company didn't have that problem (of making lots of money) anymore.

I would like to recommend a podcast called 'According to Need' [0] (by some of the 99% Invisible crew) which talks about homelessness in the Bay Area. I don't quite understand some of the local context, but there's only

I really like vimdiff, but I belive it doesn't do folder diffs (whereas beyond compare does this well)
