Hunger is caused by not enough glucagen-like peptides (GLP-1, etc) being distributed to the brain from the gut. Obesity is not so much a food "addiction" as it is the body's failure to properly regulate it's own fullnes

To me it's a simple argument. PTO has to be negotiated upon job start. If you say you're going to take 5 weeks of PTO every year, and that was negotiated during the offer phase, well they can't then say you can't take i

Then startups need to be honest about their needs up front, and stop using misleading terms like "unlimited" -- particularly early stage startups.

Yeah it's not good. Once the matching contribution is vested, the money is yours to do with as you please -- including potentially loaning the money out to yourself.

I feel culture is emotional manipulation (e.g. the Cameo "Fameo" [1] or family). This works until layoffs need to happen, and then any justification for removing those same family members are justified. So as an employee (not nec

Or worse. Some library developer decided that "panic()" was the way to go rather than: return nil, err I'm fine with error values or Pythonesque exceptions, just not both combined. So much of my code is typically:

Well RuntimeErrors (NullPointerExceptions's and the like) weren't never explicitly required to be on the method signature. I was trying to remember who it was, but one author I thought had recommended subclassing every exception a

I do too. Error handling is fine-ish mostly. The issue I have is there are three forms of error handling. Errors : Fine. Panics : Weird because golang already had errors. Segfaults: Gah! (though this is a cgo issue apparen

That's why organizations like Consumer Reports are important. E.g. if Tesla batteries only last X years and you plan on keeping your Tesla for Y years, then knowing that leads to better decision making.

Yeah, balanced fertilizer and water. The goal is to get the grass to generate roots and then this will turn into a nice lush carpet. The thicker the carpet the more competition for resources. I mow at 6" to keep germinating weeds from

I had kinda the same feeling before I got my first 3d printer too. The first real thing I printed was a case for holding camera batteries to prevent them from just rolling around in my luggage. It was in PETG and it felt super high quality

Usually after a sports event is over, it's worth a lot less than when it's being played live, too. E.g. The Super Bowl's value is only worth something when people don't know what's going to happen. After the game

You must be confused about how health insurance works in the US, as well as the effectiveness of a bad analogy. Also people who disagree with your must certainly be ignorant -- particularly on HN. > If for some reason your auto insuranc

But also, the patient paid for health insurance for the explicit reason that insurance provides protection against surprise costs, often paying thousands of dollars per year for it. So fuck the patient? That's the current regime.

We in the US enjoy a feature of capitalism known as income inequality. If you take that into perspective, and understand the total personal income in 2022 was $21.8T, then $33T of debt is not such a big number. It's only 50% more tha

No. Some languages don't require you to play cat and mouse games to get around artificial limitations put there by the language designers. There was a talk at PyCon a while back about that patterns commonly used in Java were non-exist

Why do I care about any of that while writing python? Those seem like artifacts of a Java based DI system.

by bb88 3y ago
Yeah I agree on that here. The user doesn't write DI code for Django Class Based views. E.g. the view doesn't accept a Database upon instantiation.

by bb88 3y ago
That DI library is not pythonic at all. There's nothing wrong with this at all, say: class MyClass: def __init__(self, my_dep1=None): if my_dep1 is None: self.my_dep1 = get_my_dep1() # Or p

I'm curious to understand what dependency injection is in Django that you're referring to? I know pytest does DI with fixtures, and trying to figure out what you're pulling into a test can be difficult.

There is some truth to this. Every language I used had severe drawbacks. At this point, it's choosing the lesser of the evils.
