That's not too bad if it would be a syntax error to either set or shadow an existing variable with the match statement. Apparently it isn't, which is concerning. Personally I think I may have preferred something like: match

Seems fairly different. My tool does not restart the process, it hot patches functions and methods whenever they are modified in the source, like the OP.

For what it's worth, I'm working on my own reloader which does not require decorating anything: https://github.com/breuleux/jurigged (still a WIP, but it works well enough).

by breuleux 6y ago
That's a bit awkward, I'm currently working on a package[1] that does more or less the same thing in more or less the same way (I think), except you don't need to decorate anything. Just run `python -m jurigged script.py` or

There's one for PyTorch, I tested it about a year ago. You have to compile it from scratch and IIRC it translates/compile CUDA to ROCm at runtime which causes noticeable pauses on the first run. There may be other tweaks you have

It could still address bubbles in a small way, by making them more accessible: if you can switch the overlay easily, you can get a peek at what other people see and understand their point of view a little better. You can also see what your

Captures cannot be undone either, but yes, that might be a problem. Go solves it with the ko/superko rule that states it is illegal to move in such a way to reproduce a previous configuration of the board, and I think the same rule wou

Sounds interesting! It could be played easily on a physical board by putting poker chips under the pieces. Without a way to replenish counts there is a risk of deadlock, though. Maybe an option to pass to recover one move on a piece of your

I had an idea for a chess variant recently that I haven't had time to test yet (but maybe it already exists?): it's exactly the same as normal chess, except on your turn you can move any piece, black or white, even your opponent

For what it's worth, I made a Python package that lets you combine both approaches: https://github.com/breuleux/breakword . You run your program once to print out what's going on, but it also displays a unique

Probably because reality is complicated, confusing and boring. What drives up engagement are clear, coherent stories and narratives with twists and turns that leave us shocked or awed. If you want educational content to be engaging, you hav

Ohh, okay, I see. You're right, you can't define aliases/functions using direnv. That's a shame, that does seem useful.

by breuleux 6y ago
direnv does allow more than just environment variables, you can run arbitrary commands. Personally I wouldn't run potentially expensive commands like building the project, but if that's really what's best for your workflow, i

by breuleux 6y ago
direnv is super useful if you're working in Python and have multiple projects: you can add an .envrc file that activates the right virtualenv whenever you enter a directory. It's one less thing to worry about. I figure you can als

It's a different trade-off for everyone, but I think you're underestimating the QOL improvement of "no wires". 1. No wire randomly snagging on door handles and other objects. 2. No forgetting your phone is on the table w

Eh, there's a logic to it, I think. If you intend people to only nominate the people they know personally (because otherwise they are relaying their impression of a curated media image, or the opinion of someone else) then it's li
