That was my observation as well (didn't read the 1st ed.). The middle third of the book is very dense and a lot of concepts will have to be kept in mind as the CPU is built up from plain transistors. It was all new to me, so challengin

I understand async/await in Python to be entirely single-threaded. So is, for example, C#'s implementation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-... ("The async and await

I believe in talent to a limited degree. It governs the floor, ceiling and learning curve's slope. Kind of like the parameters to a sigmoid function. Magnus Carlsen's very first chess match was likely much better than most other p

I had looked into protocols the other day but found no advantages over ABCs. In fact, failing to implement an ABC's interface is a 'compile-time' error, which is impossible to miss. Using protocols and mypy would be a soft-fa

I mean, the query is “timer $period”. It’s correct in its syntax, a period’s a period. It’s not asking for “timer TIMMY; DROP TABLES”. That’s incorrect input.

That doesn’t make too much sense. An intercepted password reset email requires access to the email account. That’s a whole different scenario. If both the email and DO account are behind strong, unique passwords, that won’t happen from a me

If you perhaps happen to know or have a pointer: how would that work in C#? A field not initialised will be null, and if it’s non-nullable… what’s its value going to be?

I guess both JavaScript and Python reinvented themselves through gradual typing. It makes Python quite a different language and JavaScript literally a different language. My most recent small (1k LoC) Python project is “fully typed” and the

If you don't mind, would you explain this more? I don't understand the implications; VB does sound "worse" than Visual C++ for such a job, from an outsider perspective?

I have never heard of COMEFROM.

Git follows this model as well, calling it porcelain and plumbing (the internals). Arguably, there’s a third layer in actual GUIs wrapping the porcelain (and sometimes plumbing).

To that end, I've had good success with `replease-please`: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please . It's available as a GitHub Action and works out of the box very easily. It does tagging, publishing, e

Python puts source code in a directory with the package's name. That's why the source code is really under `repo_root/package/`, not under `repo_root/` as you seem to imply. It's just that it's not called

You said about yourself: > just my own observations (probably wrong). I am currently in the process of learning C#. I did a deep but brief dive into every language feature in C# 10. Being proficient in Python, absolutely nothing surpri

Idempotent, in which way? Do you perhaps mean immutable?

Probably one of the top reasons. I listened to a podcast the other day on Spotify on my phone. Last time I did podcasts was maybe 10 years ago. I was properly confused when an ad block appeared. I had forgotten what ads even were like, and

Python 3.8 and its walrus operator is 2.5 years old, it's not bleeding edge, at least not anymore. That being said, I'm worried about the language in that complexity increases through the introduction of new language features with

No, in my industry (mechanical engineering) Master (and also Bachelor) theses were always much, much longer. Longer lines, less vertical line spacing, many more pages. Lots of faffing about ('Introduction', 'State of the Art&

This is a great insight. Mapping productivity over collaboration intensity is a concave function. Its maximum is nowhere near the extreme ends. Yet, if people are near the maximum they might desire more of what has worked in getting them

All male English names is just a list. It doesn’t follow a grammar. Its regex would be akin to (John|Jane|Alice|Bob) and so on. It’s not a case for regex. In fact, I’ve found success in replacing regex with regular string operators

That where I use Makefiles. For GitLab CI, for example, you can have the likes of `make $CI_JOB_NAME` so your CI config can be very short and dry, just a bunch of jobs named after Makefile targets.

The author collected these from a Twitter thread of theirs, in which the artworks had to be shared as images. Converting all back to text would be laborious.

I was under the impression Solidity was a dumpster fire language. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810008 . It ranks surprisingly high. Is this riding off of Ethereum’s popularity? Perhaps in combination w

I had never been able to make sense of that picture. It just looks like someone took all the premade symbols PowerPoint had to offer, combined them with all the buzzwords a quick Google search revealed, and scrambled everything on a canvas.

For JS, I've used Selenium with a Chrome driver, then parsed the HTML with BeautifulSoup. I know nothing about web development, so this might be an outdated way, but it worked. BS was nice to deal with.
