You might want: foo = mapping.pop("foo", "default") It removes "foo" key from mapping if any. `foo` is "default" if "foo" is missing and `mapping["foo"]` otherwise. Dictio

Actually, it is a step backwards: unless you control both sides (perfect version compatibility), passing text to extract only parts you care about is more resilient (think SOAP vs. REST).

I don't know about you but GUI is at most 1% among all the programs I write (if we are talking in terms of applications, not lines of code). Most are tiny one-purpose CLI programs instead e.g., read OTP secret as an input and print c

Python (and any other general purpose languages) shouldn't be considered a replacement for shell pipelines but rather an extension tool. Actually, the pipelines survived 50 years in big part due to how easy to extend them: just define

It is not a Python thing, it is a floating-point thing. You need it if you want hardware support (CPU/GPU) for non-integer arithmetic in any language. Otherwise, you have decimal, fractions, sympy, etc modules depending on your needs.

CPU binning assumes just one axis: from 100% working (perfect) then various degree of broken to 0% (completely broken) which leads to the wrong attitude of thinking in terms of "disorder" (from perfect human to completely broken

It is just a matter of time before sending money to Russia for any reason will be considered as supporting terrorists.

Sanctions are not likely to be lifted until "wrong" people profit from Russia's oil. Russia looks like a banana republic where the puppet government gone rogue.

Imagine your skin has a different from your neighbors color. Would it be sensible to consider it a disorder? Even if it may happen that it negatively affects your every day life, and it may be maladaptation in the region where you live but

Evolution reuses parts, a lot. For example, serotonin has some effect on crabs too--it doesn't mean the function is the same as in humans or that psychotherapy for crabs is a good idea.

Significant part of the work is massaging data and R sucks at that compared to Python. "if you want to do more than statistics, let’s say deployment and reproducibility, Python is a better choice." https://www.guru99.co

Could you link to an example HN thread of "meaningful political discourse" in your opinion.

There is no meaningful political discussion possible here. In tech, truth matters (a practitioners can share something meaningful). In politics, the truth is essentially irrelevant especially when one side has vastly more resources than

Don't confuse strong typing and static typing. Python is strongly typed. It respects types at runtime e.g., `"1"+1` causes TypeError. Python is not statically typed. For comparison, C is statically typed but it is weakly typ
