The problem is obtaining solid data and not falling on cargo cult. If there’s a paper showing that static typing is safer, but is assuming A, B and C, it can be very easy to end up with a lot of people saying that only static typing should

Perhaps a good dependency process would be an interesting research. Knowing what parts change when changing a small bit it’s actually very difficult to know, and it seems like a common problem that could improve things in many areas (for ex

The interesting thing about old paintings is that they are not “photorealistic”. They don’t replicate photos, as they weren’t invented yet. They paint reality, as seen by the naked eye. When seeing some of the portraits of the great masters

Carrying only a pre selection of books can be extremely tricky, unless you find a particular niche that’s in demand. That could be easier to do in big cities, but the problem there is that the costs are higher, which pressures the amount of

It’s incredibly obvious that the bookstore is not a real business, more like a hobby where he can do what he likes, without pressure… this obviously gives a different perspective… Disclaimer: I actually run a comic book shop, that’s very si

I think the difference is in the community. I've used both Python (extensively) and Ruby (a little bit). While the capacities of the languages are relatively similar, the people around the languages, at least the ones creating packages

the main problem is that you can get caught in an interviewing pet project, so it seems obvious for them, but not for you. Properly done, a code interview could not require clever tricks, but the problem is that it's just too easy to s

Come on, this interview process is going too far... I think most of the people working in tech knows that the interview process is just plain silly, but we keep doing it because reasons... And, the worst of it, it doesn't make any sens

In that case, only the first fail will be reported and exit. Which is fair enough in some cases, but may be confusing for long sequences of tests. (There’s the option to get that behaviour in pytest as well with a parameter. Also, pytest ma

Drew Neil’s “Practical Vim” is absolutely fantastic, and really explain the mindset and way of thinking to use Vim. It’s probably the best technical book I’ve ever read... https://pragprog.com/titles/dnvim2/practic

Interestingly enough, Libre Office (and OpenOffice before that) allow you to use Python internally for Macros through PyUNO, which is a pain to use given the lack of documentation, but amazingly powerful. It was one of my first usages of Py

This article makes a strange assumption. That you know perfectly the end result before starting the process, which is a rare case in my experience. Normally, a product will start with a small feature, and all sorts of random stuff will be a

It was liberating when someone told me so, because I was always unsure on what to answer. There's still acceptable canned answers like "great, thanks, how about you?" or "not too bad". I'm from Spain, and there

We sort of lost the ability to imagine a better world, at least in fiction stories. It’s very difficult to find some sort of invented technology that is mindblowingly good in sci-fi these days (like Star Trek replicator, for instance). They

Franco-Prussian War happened in 1870, 45 years earlier than WWI. There was a surprising period of peace in Europe in the late XIX century where for 40 years there was relative peace. That probably work towards the specifics of WWI (war invo
