Hey, I’m the author and happy to engage in constructive exchange with everyone who read the article and has thoughts or questions (NB the full title is ‘“Don’t Mock What a You Don’t Own” in 5 Minutes’ the principle is super old and this art

So you haven’t made it past the second heading and already felt compelled to “disagree wholeheartedly”? The article is _precisely_ about the knee-jerk reaction you’re exhibiting and trying to explain why that decades old principles makes mo

I'm super confused by the hostility of this comment. The TIL post was just a summary of a drama that almost removed which from debian and the lessons learned from it about the guarantees and portability of which (none), and how to prev

I’m not 100% sure (and on my phone) but I think the idiomatic way would be to subclass https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#colle...

I thought that from context it was clear that it means “Code sharing _via subclassing_ is a bad idea.” which the whole previous section tried to establish. I have clarified the sentence.

That's not part of the article, but I indeed think that a process that (almost) nobody applies correctly, is not a good process. Telling people to just try harder is never the solution to anything. I acknowledge the value of SemVer bot

by hynek 6y ago
You lead with dunking on the author (yes, me) for describing a reality that you later acknowledge yourself. The article only says that SemVer in practice cannot be relied upon and describes ways how to deal with that fact of life. Nothing e

A more charitable view is that they signify an API that evolved from callback-based APIs like Twisted over many years and made nicer APIs like curio or trio only possible (whose features/insights slowly feed back into asyncio but backw

Only if they explicitly offer that. I've never got compensation for anything unless I got invited. And you only get invited if you've built a name for yourself. Bigger conferences also usually offer financial aid that is always

[author of the linked article here] It’s obviously a matter of style, however I’d like to point out, that it’s not about extra work for me at all . I probably spend as much time on my slides as you do (if not more), I just have a very diff

Kind of depends on how you define a “good speaker”, right? Your style and mine style are obviously very different (lots of it is also due to English being my third language of course) but people still have expressed that they consider me a

[author of the linked article here] In peak irony, I’m actually considering to make it my next year’s talk. It’s too long for lots of people to read, but I think I could make an entertaining talk out of it.

[author of the linked article here] I’ll have to disagree here. Using PyCon US as an example since it ended recently: 1. My talk video has already been watched more than 650 times. I don’t think I had that many people in the room. 2. I ra

[author of linked article here] Depends! At PyCon US/EuroPython everybody pays by default and the money goes towards financial aid so as many people as possible can attend. As a speaker, you can also apply for finaid of course. The

Hello, thank you for the rare nice words in this thread! I got a bit hit by surprise by the submission of this article to HN (it’s like two weeks old now) so it caught me a bit off guard close before a new release and there’s some inconsist

"Slow" is not what I read from the benchmarks tho. :) I prefer to avoid edge cases by default and optimize hotspots if necessary. Especially for stuff I publish on PyPI. Likewise I don't care what people do in internal pro

The newer a pip, the more likely it is that it caches things for example. There a more things, I had long discussions with dstufft about it in the past.
