In an async framework of execution, this doesn't apply. A lot of programming happens in that space, and in it, the network call is "free", but you're clogging the thread(s) with actual CPU work. If execution is single-th

I suppose the difference is money. Open source needn’t be free of its involvement, but it often is. Add money to open source and you get either a functional org, but with the usual overhead, or dysfunction and corruption.

There is no official GitHub SDK for Python. It's easy enough to do it anyway. This is not authentication logic either.

mypy and ruff are complementary, and as far as I know have no overlap. Strongly recommend using both.

Circular references are not an issue, the GC is more than just reference counting.

I guess the point is then: once you’re migrated over, you live happily. For a while. The next migration will come. It’s only a question of when. What then? You’re now so far removed from simple Unix-like principles, tools and platforms th

Smart tab is so… smart. I really admire how people keep coming up with creative features that immediately make sense and become table stakes right away. This applies to editors across the board. Couldn’t imagine living without command palet

My org forces ChatGPT to be used through Bing Chat when internal company data is involved. It’s an avalanche of popups, dialogues, links, “did you know”s, color and animations. Quite unpleasant to use compared to just vanilla ChatGPT, which

One of my long term plans is to do software development in the domain of infrastructure. Think developing Kubernetes itself instead of “just” using it. Now you say that even where that infrastructure was the product, the work was still rega

To add: the two most popular languages by most popular metrics, JavaScript and Python, are interpreted. There, you don’t have a choice. Go is different of course. Your insight is very good. Not being able to dig into source code when needed

This an amazing way to concisely explain the difference between indirection and abstraction. Works for me at least. Anything undone by the compiler (perhaps even inlined) is just indirection. Everything beyond is actual abstraction (which c

I have a Surface Laptop 4. Watching YouTube full screen with almost nothing else running has the fan at high speed all throughout, and battery dead after 3h. I’m not even mad. It’s just sad.

This take ignores that software evolves to be ever more bloated as well. With ever more hardware to throw at issues, software didn’t have enough evolutionary pressure to remain or become efficient. I argue that’s beginning to show. Look at

Ah okay, thanks for the context. The projects are quite close in terms of GitHub stars, 11k vs 16k.

I had started using mypy a couple years ago and simply never looked back at the decision. I perceived pyright as a Microsoft-specific tool, and waved it off, as mypy seemed the blessed and eventually converged-upon target. Turns out that’s

Yep. Some people complain about C# having too many bells and whistles these days, but Python matches almost 1:1 in language features. It’s vast.

It makes unit testing better in the sense that it can obsolete a good chunk of it, even.

Mypy in daemon mode has been good enough for me. But yeah, a reimplementation in a fast language would be great.

Next to what the sibling comment already said: no MitM needed. ISPs can act as MitM as well. That can range from annoying to nefarious. See for example: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/70970/my-isp-is.

Infrastructure is, or at least should be, code as well. And as it is, you can write tests for it all the same! However, writing those tests is incredibly hard. It doesn’t matter if you approach it from a dev or ops angle. The system under t
