Python has a `sorted` function which will return a new sorted list. I agree with you about the general inconsistency though.

What are the salaries there like?

From what I remember, Learn Python the Hard Way used a similar principle.

Sure. Thank you for answering. Good luck with what you're doing!

Do you know the causes for why there's so much bureaucracy? I wonder what the potential solutions are.

Just wanted to say that I like how you see things. Also, if you need help with infrastructure automation and are interested in using Nix for increased reproducibility, get in touch. I know you said you want to keep lean and already have a p

I've seen it in Python. Not in Rust, because I haven't worked with Rust.

for item in items.iter() { if predicate(item) { items.push(modify(item)); } } This is not a good idea in Python either. You are better off creating a new list in which you accumulate all items, both modifie

Wouldn't it make more sense to look for outstanding results (projects built, articles published) rather than time spent with a technology?

How cheap?

Hi! I applied for this role last month and I didn't hear back. Now, I don't know if my application got lost or you simply didn't find my profile suitable. I find the job attractive and I have experience with most of the tech

I really like your culture and I'm considering applying, even though I'm in Romania, which is CET+2, and my profile might not fit all your requirements. I like the breadth of the tasks the Staff Software Engineer works on.

That's a fair point. Frankly, I don't know what to say. Should we only promote studies that have been replicated? My first thought tells me that the answer should be "yes". At the same time, that would mean we would neve

I think it was the word "subliminal" that made you think of manipulation. On the other hand, I read the quote you posted as meeting the reader at their level and guiding them to a clearer, deeper understanding by providing informa

Embarrassed because science worked as expected?

I find your first example easy to understand. It's funny, because I'm watching my experience as I'm reading the code and I feel like variables are like a little break while doing work. When you don't use them, it feels l

It depends on how you wrote it. In general, I found it hard to understand point-free expressions (in the code of others, because I never used them).

by elbear 3y ago
If you're the only one reading the code, then sure write it however you like it. But using long chains of expressions is the same as one-liners or point-free style in Haskell. It saves some typing and also you can skim the code more ea

I don't see fewer variables as something good. On the contrary, I find a long "flow" or chain of function calls harder to read or grok. Variables also help readability, because the name can help you discern what those functio

This looks like a similar model to how Elm handles HTML. Except Elm provides functions for each tag, so it also does type checking to ensure that the passed arguments correspond to the actual attributes of the tag.

Why's that?

Well, you can provide in your environment all the binaries needed: - Java stuff - node and npm - I don't know what you would need for Postgres extensions - Python, pip or poetry (or whatever you use for Python package management) Here

You can have a hybrid approach, where you use Nix to provide the build environment (which includes Maven, for example). Then you use the Java-specific tools for the build itself. This should ensure your build has a high degree of reproducib

I hope you find a path that is better for you. I'm also doing some soul-searching trying to find something that I can sustain long-term. I've been all-over the place, because of indecision. I do enjoy programming, I just found it

Hey, I just read it. Very good overview of the situation. My experience matches yours pretty closely. One difference is that I received less feedback, but I think I also applied to fewer jobs (I didn't count, but I think it was fewer t

Yes, I know about flake.parts (didn't know about the other one). But I'm not aware of the kind of libraries you mentioned. There's FlakeHub[0], which is like a package index for flakes, so maybe we'll start to see there

I was reading this thread and now I finally understood what you mean by plugins. Plugins kind of exist in Nix, except they're not called that. They are functions available in some specific module. For example, `dockerTools` provides di

What do you mean by manage? I agree with your assertion regarding the language though. I think nix-lang makes it harder to get into Nix.

There are also the people who get it and see the benefits, but don't want to put up with the work required to have your system or environment managed with Nix. If this tool simplifies things, it could get traction.
