Off-topic: When I open that page, my email address shows up in the text input for subscribing. How do they know my email? I don't remember ever going on that website.

Would investors really be interested in an acquihire play? Aren't they looking for a big multiplier on their investment?

Interesting, thank you. I think a big part of PyPy's problem is the long tail of esoteric tools and packages that different people use.

Hi Matti. I'm happy to see that you're doing community outreach. I haven't tried PyPy in a while. The general impression I have about PyPy is that as soon as you try to do anything a little bit complicated, things break in un

On many Israeli sites, like insurance providers and credit cards, 2FA texts are used for authentication without a password. i.e. instead of typing in a password, you type in your phone number and then type the 6-number code you got as an SM

VisiData is amazing. It's one of the coolest open source projects I've seen in years. I use it extensively in my research.

If you don't know VisiData, you should give it a look. It's basically a modern version of Lotus 1-2-3 for the terminal. https://www.visidata.org/

The part to sneer at is Meta's refusal to call it a cubicle, instead trying to brand it as an innovation. They could say "You know what, we were wrong, cubicles aren't so bad after all."

AHK has the distinction of being an absolutely indispensible tool and a horrendously terribly designed language. It's probably the worst-designed programming language I've ever seen. Whenever I'm frustarted with how slow and

There isn't even an enumerated list of all the features of the Google search engine (i.e. quotes for full expression, minus to rule out words etc.) And this might be the most popular web service in the world!

They don't. It would be a profoundly difficult problem to find the right links for each suggestion.

While the moral and legal discussions here are interesting and worth exploring, I find this text hyperbolic. Its premise is that the main way that people currently interact with open-source projects is by digging into their source code, cop

Better idea, just call it "software engineering". You don't see runners trying to find metaphors in order to organize how they work. (Sorry, I'm a bit grumpy.)

Not easy, but easier in my opinion than the multi-year project that OP is planning to undertake.

Lots of people are giving advice on how to fix the code piecemeal. First put it on Git, then add tests, then, carefully and gradually, start fixing the issues. Depending on the project, this could take a year or several years, which isn&#x2

I think that lots of the comments here are responding to the sensationalist title (that was probably written by DeepMind's marketing team) rather than the actual interview. It's pretty interesting to read the personal story of a r

Shameless plug: PySnooper is a debugging tool for Python that lets you debug in a way that's as easy as adding print statements, but gives you a lot more information automatically. https://github.com/cool-RR/PySnoo

I feel like many of the commenters here haven't experienced enough corporate environments. I love using a debugger for open-source projects I work on and web apps I used to do for clients, but when you're working for a big company

This is a very clever solution. To be clear, most users of Python don't care about startup time to that degree, but for some applications shaving off that 0.1 seconds would be meaningful. However, Python's dataclasses have great f
