I've done backend web development with a relational DB via an ORM for 10 years. I'm OK at that, but I'm fucking hopeless at SQL. I know that my opinions are thus undermined, but I really wish we could get rid of SQL and repla

To be fair bird movements are quite complicated: e.g. a Robin in the UK between September to March might be a member of a migratory or a non-migratory population. And Blackcaps are an example of a mostly migratory species in the UK but wher

Exactly, it shouldn’t even need saying! But, wonderful place though HN is, it is not known for being full of people who understand humor; the majority are going to be all straight-faced and disagree.

Haha, thanks! I think I'm warming to the idea now.

I did mean to reply to your comment, but sorry if I've conflated packaging and application development. It was this sentence that confused me most: > in about 2007 very few Debian packages had their packaging in any sort of standard

I want never to see the names attr.ib and attr.s in code that I am working on. So I don't understand how your suggestion solves the problem: it might not be me writing the code.

"attr" is the choice of the library designers. The question is why did they choose that name when users will expect it to be imported as "attrs"? Clearly if they had chosen "da39a3ee" we wouldn't need to d

by da39a3ee 5y ago
Yes, I know. That doesn’t redeem it. I want never to have to read those names in python code I'm working with; the documentation entry doesn't achieve that. And anyway, the library is called “attrs”, so why is it imported as “attr

I absolutely hate the attrs “joke” names attr.ib and attr.s. That’s it. I simply can’t stand them, they drive me crazy. When I first saw them I wondered what the fuck “ib” meant. And the thing is, I’d expect every decent python programmer t

As a developer of an application, I have no special relationship with Debian. It’s nice they exist, and I do recognize the important role they’ve played in Linux, but still as a maintainer & author I don’t care about them and their prac

I know it's well-intentioned, and I know American society has very real structural race problems which shouldn't be ignored or denied, but articles like this really risk being patronizing, and worse, implying that most or all blac

There's a lot of complaining about algorithms/data structures interview questions. But at the end of the day it is up to the hiring companies how they want to triage and select candidates. Rather than complaining, what would be mo

That sounds truly awful. Not necessarily surprising —- but could you give us some clues as to which company this was so that we can avoid working there?

It seems like a bad idea to use the same “where” syntax for definitions and test cases, especially since a major aim of this is education.

As long as you write a PR description, explaining why the behavior you are fixing is a bug, and how to reproduce it, and your PR includes tests if the project has tests.

Important subject, but that’s a pretty terrible article. I do understand the need to have publications by one’s name (I’ve been there too) but still, it’s a bit embarrassing to see this, which is just a blog post really, dressed up as an “a

We don't need LSP to be "supported"; it needs to be as good as e.g. VSCode. Seriously; that is what is required if Emacs is to maintain a large enough community of skilled programmers to maintain it in this century. I get it,

So, for example, if you use preview-latex in auctex, or the equivalent functionality in org-mode, you'll notice that the small image previews are very fuzzy, and not at all what you'd expect from your retina screen. The reason ult

Thanks, fair enough. > We want more of such users. We want more casual users who, during their Emacs journey will get encouraged to start tinkering and then become programmers. Yeah, I do see that view. I just wonder whether we need to m

This is amazing bug-fixing work Lars! Here are my thoughts on what is needed for emacs to have a real future in the 21st century: 1. We must create a strong community of highly-skilled programmers who use Emacs for their work, for it is out

That's because Github, in their early days, got very confused about what forking was and made banners saying "Fork me on Github" when what they actually meant to say was "Star me on Github".
