1. operators use special lookup for dunder methods--on class, not on instance: >>> a+1 # lookup on class 1+1 2 >>> a.__add__(1) # instance method 0 2. There is __radd__ that is called if __add__

Structural typing is a static equivalent of dynamic duck typing. It is compatible with type checkers. Protocols mentioned in the article work without inheritance. A duck doesn't need to know that there is SupportsQuack protocol. If it

No disrespect intended. I’m making purely technical point.

Your 2-3 points remind me of the quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein: “The limits of my language means the limits of my world.” Of course if you limit yourself only to problems that can be effectively solved by type system, then it may work. It

Do you believe that Rust's type system is as flexible, powerful, and easy to maintain as unit tests in Python?

by d0mine 1y ago
It may be the exact opposite. You can't express (at least you shouldn't try to avoid Turing tarpit-like issues) all the desired constraints for your problem domain using just the type system (you need a readable general purpose pr

Formulating your assumptions before you run code and check saves you from rationalizing after the fact whatever behavior you happen to observe. Invalid predictions help improve understanding, learn.

It was good but it was not perfect. I remember leaving comments such as “MSDN says X, but the actual behavior is Y, therefore there is Z in the code” The fact that I remember this is the evidence that it was not everyday occurrence that the

Actually, your approach “test yourself first, then learn” is better for learning compared with just learning first according to research.

It may take me a week (or more) to prepare half hour talk. It takes even more time if I have to compress it into less than 20 minutes (think ted talk).

You ask the 3rd person to be present/to review the interview later. It is not perfect but it may provide a necessary perspective.

The point is that the question of selecting a tool is underspecified unless specific context (job) is given. It says nothing about how easy/hard it is. It is not always true (some tools are just better in any applicable domain) but in

Ok. Do tell. If the job doesn’t matter here, what is better hammer or screwdriver?

"whether hierarchy is better than tags" sounds like whether hammer is better than a screwdriver. Use a tool appropriate for the job. Hierarchy seems more rigid less general than tags but when it works--it works.

What is the point of discussing politics? (not rhetorical). What physical changes in the world do you expect afterwards? You won't undo indoctrination. It just upsets people.

I lived through SOAP/WSDL horror with their numerous standards and the lack of compatibility between stacks in different programming languages. Having seen abused XML, CSV formats. CSV is preferable over XML. Human-readability matters.
