Usually a derived exception is a special case of the base exception e.g., OSError -> FileNotFoundError. Sometimes you want to handle specific error differently and sometimes you don't care. btw, it may be the reason to create a new

I would prefer peace but the empire makes it impossible. Only because one can do evil things with impunity doesn't make it right. People are people and the murder is murder.

It is false that chats are "unencrypted" (I know, it is repeated on every submission about Telegram here but it does not make it true whatever Goebbels said). Here's a quote from the FAQ: "The relevant decryption keys a

Chats are encrypted. The question who can decrypt them by default. It is a trade-off between security and usability. By default, you get usability (e.g., you can chat across devices easily). But you think it is worth the cost, you can mak

Talking with peoples who believe they live in a democracy reminds me of talking with religious people: they think if you don't believe in their god, than it means you are evil immoral person. Rational arguments (facts, evidence) do not

There are many naive people. Try to look at relative military spending around the world and think about trust, about where all these weapons will be applied eventually.

The economy is global. If you like independence look at Cuba--it is "independent" for decades now. Thanks to sanctions, Russia is becoming independent (less/no ties to outside economies)--do not recommend.

There are many concepts useful that are decades old e.g., you could learn shell pipelines in 7x and use them to this day. Once learned, you can reuse indefinitely the notions "tight cohesion", "loose coupling" (just an e

Even If we ignore the actual achievements of different societies claiming they implement "ism" of one kind or another, any "ism" from XIX century regarding human behavior at scale is naive. If the theory of phlogiston we

My rule of thumb is: document informally (loosely following ADR) those decisions that had to be discussed more than once (encourage alignment) and that lead to a nonobvious change in process (to look up the choice(reference)/its contex

It looks like a distinction without a difference. We can consider `None and f()` pattern as explicit syntax that unwraps objects as necessary without infecting other code. Background: an object that either None or true in a boolean context

All these lambdas seem excessive. "Maybe"-like pattern in Python can look like (None is falsy and custom objects are true): # note: `None and f()` returns None without calling f balance = user and user.get_balance() credit

Yes. Scopes are complicated e.g., class Foo: a = [1,2,3] b = [4,5,6] c = [x * y for x in a for y in b] that leads to NameError: name 'b' is not defined https://bugs.pyt

You don't need multiple threads to perform IO asynchronously. And in reverse, using threads won't prevent lock-ups: the opposite is likely. [Pre-emptive] threads compared to external processes require much more careful coordinatio

If truth is on your side, you should not be afraid if someone is pointing out potentially illuminating facts. You just put them in proper context. Or your point that the statements are actually false?

Fabric can be a replacement for adhoc shell scripts for chore/CI tasks in a project e.g., it can be `make docs` replacement. It is the best of both worlds: shell one-liners glued together using Python. It doesn't replace ansible-
