It wasn't immediately obvious to me how to sign up without buying a subscription, but https://twitter.com/matt_levine/status/994296126055608320?s=... provides a link to do just that. I've read a few arti

I really like C# and have done a bunch of work with it in the past! But I also love Python for reasons other than just static vs dynamic typing. To be honest, I think a lot of Python [or arbitrary dynamic language] developers can be quite s

You can pipe the diff into specific flake8 checkers. Disable the check by default so it's not run over the entire codebase, and have a separate line for running specific checks on just the diff. Eg: git diff -U0 --relative origin/

Adding type hints to Python has increased my productivity by at least a factor of 10. They allow you to reason about code in a local function without having to track back up dozens of call sites to ensure you're getting what you thin

Then would a better interview technique be something like - here is a spec for an algorithm. Now implement it. I see very little value in having people studying algorithm implementations for interviews. Of course, knowing about specific alg

Both heroku and travisci were affected? I wonder if and what the common vector would be for two major providers to lose their OAuth tokens.

You can't think of a single good use case for a tool like this? Consider receiving a bunch of hate-tweets based on some physical aspect of your appearance.

Has anyone used this library before? It looks very very nice. Type safe templates would almost be a win on their own, but being able to use the full power of react to customise views and forms without all of the ceremony of buying into the

Yep great observation. I started my first FromSoft game last week - Demons Souls remake - and I had no idea what was going on. Making very little progress and restarting levels over and over. So I decided to follow a guide and the game has

Are you talking about Australia Post? If so, the numbers I’m finding are $27-$28/h part time gigs that include leave etc. Are you seeing different numbers or have I got the wrong company?

I’m not confused and I don’t really understand why you think I am. I believe the content that is indexed is the content you can see. Sites used to be penalised, heavily, for returning different content to google. Hiding the paywall for goog

Then search engine crawlers should get paywalled too. The motivation is correct. You run a search on google and get mostly paywalled content. I'm fine with news sites requiring subscriptions to view their articles but they shouldn&#x27

I think most people felt the same way when adopting black in the early days, I know I did. But you get over it pretty quickly. Now single quotes look so wrong to me. I also always hated single quote docstrings even in single quote code base

I know zero Russian, or any other language other than English. I had a very similar reaction to you. It sounded almost like an obituary.

Thanks so much for this it's going to help a tonne. When I get a chance I'll pop over and have a chat with them. Casually searching different stores and deals online was a horrible experience, so this is a great motivator to final

Agree. I used one of the strategies over a couple of days and it took all of the fun out of the game. Switching to hard mode brought all of that fun right back. If you're going to write a program to optimise your guesses then why not j

I’ve been half seriously looking for equipment (squat rack, bar, bench) for a little while but am having a hard time of it. Can you recommend your gear? I’m also in Melbourne so brands specifically would be helpful.

I’ve really been enjoying this series and others from the same author. Most blogs I subscribe to are tech related and this is one of few that are not. I’ve been on a bit of a war movie/doco binge lately and these articles have slotted

Are you talking about the Kogan-clone that took over the online store about 5 or 6 years ago, or prior to that? The online part of the business was sold off to Kogan and became another online store front.

There are pros and cons. As one example my son purchased $500 of skins in Fortnite on Nintendo (I had the card saved, my fault since corrected). Trying to get that refunded was a huge drama because I had to go via Nintendo rather than Epic.

Not so. We’re not getting to 0 pollutants any time soon, so to reach a net 0 (or negative) amount of carbon we’re going to need to remove what’s already there.

Yes that's a fair lens to view this situation with, I think, and I've stated a similar view in a sibling comment.

I don't know that they're trying to get away with anything. From reading some of the linked blog posts and issues, it sounds like some people involved in the management of the DNF effectively consider all projects beneath the DNF

If you use the proceeds of crime to buy a house then can't that house be seized (jurisdictions probably have different rules, but..)? The house is then auctioned off. It's not valued at the time of arrest and any additional value
