I can't help but find type hints in python to be..goofy? I have a colleague who has a substantial C++ background and now working in python, the code is just littered with TypeAlias, Generic, cast, long Unions etc.. this can't be t

This, honestly. Seeing all those billionaires on inauguration day lined up to kiss the ring was utterly pathetic. Like what is the fucking point of having billions of dollars if you're just going to be someone else's bitch. And fo

This is not meant as a personal attack but this has got to be the most naive thing I've read.

I hate it when people obfuscate the fact that organizations are not individual entities. Someone , or a group of people, decided to do this, not some faceless org. Some had to greenlight this.

I thought it was hilarious, a tongue in cheek

Semi tangent but I am curious. for those with more experience in python, do you just pass around generic Pandas Dataframes or do you parse each row into an object and write logic that manipulates those instead?

What? Their economy is highly dependent on fossil fuel exports. Just because the oil is being burned somewhere else does not absolve them from having dug it up in the first place. Everyone is living on the same planet

My point is that whatever is working for them is not even remotely applicable to 90% of the other countries. They are better than Saudi Arabia and other rich countries, but that's about it.

I find it hilarious that people applaud Norway, whose economy is heavily driven by exporting petroleum gas and crude oil, for leading the world in clean energy adoption.

People are blaming vibe coding but the real culprit was hiring leetcoders in the first place. I genuinely believe the stark decrease in quality of most products across the industry has been driven by that.

There's definitely room for new math but , at least for banks, the process of getting your fancy model validated by internal model validation teams and regulators is so time and energy consuming that most people don't want to both

I wasn't surprised by that, I studied in one of the best schools in France and that attitude was prevalent amongst students.

Okay, literature aside, I've often discussed this with my SO. I feel like Americans are obsessed with heroes/villains. Every single issue that arises and is discussed online, is always viewed from the angle of "who do we supp

It's honestly hilarious how fragile all those checks and balances you keep hearing about are. Americans are the first people to criticise other regimes for being authoritarian but I guess the turns have tabled!

It's almost comical how bad this Labour government is...

I'm sorry but that video is literally unwatchable! What in the world is happening with the audio/subtitles?

Ah yes, competing with the U.S. makes them thugs. Right.

Most of the Eurostar ExCo members are French/ worked extensively at SNCF.

This is simply a symptom of French corporate culture.

Well python is also compiled technically.

I honestly don't know what code bases you guys are working with, for me I tried it with a large quant library (C++ 97) in an effort to modernize it and so far it's been nothing hit a waste of time. Similarly for a medium sized pyt

Highly recommend watching The Thick of It to get a glimpse of how such UK policies come to be.

I personally think this is a symptom of tech companies hiring leetcoders.

If a user has an IG tag in their description, clicking on it leads to https://anon-viewer.com/?url= . Is this site just a warpper around that website? Hmm

If I had to pick between a Chinese model and an American model based on the country's politics it would be China every time.
