While discussing code review, howabout shooting whoever wrote that comment. Why is there an assert? Python case a cast function if you really wanted to force the typechecker to see a_thing as Thing but (and I'm sure this is the point y

I would argue programs are impossible to prove correct, I would speculate it is related to the halting problem. That doesn't mean that in general the subsections of it related to any specific court case isn't correct. Unfortunatel

I would hope so but I don't think that is the case, there is a portion of bugs, including security vulnerabilities that are actually hardware related but has a workaround in software. That and no matter how hard you try there will alwa

If bugs were easy to find and solve there wouldn't be an entire highly paid industry to do it. Add to that malicious actors actively trying to work against systems (bank/post office/medical system etc) and it becomes pretty h

This entire function is clearly a factory for a boxed pizza with toppings which is baked. I'd argue the entire box.Close() method is slideware and wouldn't exist since it likely is just a return true. You can just as easily just s

I feel like there a happy medium between the two, the left can easily be made more simple by factoring out one or two functions however the right went too far. The prepare and addtoppings functions should be one function, prepare effectivel

Here is an idea for a unit test for this code. Pass in an order, assert the pizza that comes out is correct. The entire function is a unit which can fit on my phone screen and has no external dependencies other than possibly oven, which was

If you have enough arguments that the signature becomes obscure to read you need a dataclass to pass into the function instead. I would rather: @dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True) class VarThings: n: int .

I would hazard a guess that storing tapes takes up significantly less physical space than hard drives. I don't think hard drive based storage and tape bases storage have quite the same use case.
