Right, spending all your effort on the one true design gets you in architect astronaut territory. Similarly for existing systems, conjuring up the grand rewrite in the sky (as Robert Martin calls it, I think?) is equally poor. Instead, reco

In Python land, we use a library called marshmallow for mapping domain object attributes to JSON fields. In most cases, these mappings are a direct reflection of the associated domain objects, so the result is a bit verbose but still works

While it's not as well-known or popular at large as, say Infinite Jest, I think that the readership here might enjoy "Everything and more" by David Foster Wallace. It's a history of mathematics around late 1800s and earl

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there would a substantial amount of luck involved in getting schedules and offers to line up just right like this.

As someone raised in the north US, living the last ~8 years between Florida and Texas has helped break the “you guys” habit. However, I admit that I still feel like an imposter whenever I use “y’all”.

I dunno. For me, a variety is more important than strictly using light or dark. I tend to switch things up every so often similar to how I might rearrange furniture or bring a new meal into weeknight rotation. Sometimes I just need a change

> I always felt weird after drinking a cup of licorice tea. Same. It's a shame because it's often added to some blends that I would otherwise enjoy and would not expect licorice root to be added.

Having lived in Florida, I would wager that the author is suffering for fashion in jeans and a black shirt moreso than he would be in "gaudy" bicycling attire. Or maybe that's your point -- that we should all prefer looking h

I don't think most people suggest vim as a replacement for an IDE. In fact, personally I use vim bindings in my IDE because I think I think it's an efficient way to edit text, whereas the IDE provides things vim is not good at (e.

Right! A couple more interesting (IMO) example of this: 1. The geometric mean is the minimizer of: L(x) = Σ [ log(x_i) - log(x) ]² 2. The so-called Jaccard median is the minimizer of: L(x) = Σ [ 1-J(x_i, x) ] where J is the Jaccard overlap

I think you may be confusing deconvolution as the term is used in neural network literature with deconvolution as defined in mathematics/signal processing.

I suggest to the author that they rephrase the title to something like "...Theory in Python Part 3..." to make it clear that this is the third installment in a series, not specific to Python version 3.

It often occurs that technical jargon is swiped to be used as business speak by business leaders with technical backgrounds. For example I often hear “orthogonal” when “independent” is usually more appropriate.
