Casually building a django db backend as an acceptance test. Nice work and great write up! I had déjà vu reading the section on bind parameters in aggregate queries. The oracle backend had a similar issue that was fixed/hacked by compa

They have! With Twitter Blue (Canada + Australia only, $4/month or something) you can edit tweets within a short window. Imagine - a $4/m edit button. What a joke.

This is just the first article in the series. I'd recommend reading all 4 articles before rebuking this one. https://jacobian.org/series/estimation/ For example, here's an except from the SWAG article: &

There can absolutely be moral disagreements but it's not a given. That's probably the main point contested in this thread - that not all politics is about thinking the worst of your opposition. Certainly it happens, but it'

Disconnect the statement from actual politics and think about the concept in a more local setting. Here's a somewhat contrived example. There are two engineers in your company trying to work out the best way to reduce the rate of bugs

Yeah there’s an argument for that. I think it’d hold more weight if narrow, specific, and loosely defined duplicate questions were allowed - but they aren’t. Questions and answers belong to the community. I think the accepted answer should

I used to - but never remembered to commit and/or push. When I changed jobs (and therefore computers) I did a bulk commit and push at that point. Using text files for notes is meh. I've just been pointed at Bear app, and using tag

An idea I've had for a long time is that "the community" can vote to override an accepted answer. There are many times when the accepted answer is incorrect, or a newer answer is now more correct, but the only person who can

There are risk services out there. https://sift.com/ Is one you call out to that gives you a risk score. https://datadome.co/ can sit within your cdn layer that does risk assessment.

This argument, that the existing financial markers and institutions are broken for the average person, is somewhat addressed in the linked twitter thread. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the present alternatives (bitcoin, altcoi

Yes I agree with you. The various tokens all blend together and it's difficult to pick out the differences. They are pleasing colours though. https://imgur.com/a/j6r8iXN

It'd be so helpful to show some examples/images of the various themes without having to install them locally to browse. The image in the announcement leaves a lot to be desired. https://imgur.com/a/nAXttun sc

This is awesome, good luck! It's a project/business that I've suggested a few times on the mailing lists and I'm truly surprised it's taken this long for someone to start one up. I'll be interested to see how&#

To many in the core team, for one. It’s a cutesy easter egg at best not a mission statement. I’ve read the pep. The nature of peps are complete by design. The concept is not overly complex especially since it exists in a number of other lan

Appealing to nothing but the zen of python is not an acceptable argument. Pattern matching is not (necessarily) extremely complex as it exists in a multitude of languages these days. Powerful does not automatically imply complex.

Perhaps :) That’s not a hill I’m willing to die on but I agree with the positives from your list. And the small handful of times I’ve used walrus have been nice, but not game changing.

See though, this is the issue. What you see as a useful or mistaken feature is likely a different set to another user, just as we’ve seen above. I think it’s a mistake to defer to the zen of python without considering the PEPs themselves wh

Not really. It just enforces that specific properties (status field) can only be manipulated with methods decorated by an FSM transition. Allows enforcement of what actions are taken during a state transition so that some random view doesn’

Have you looked at django-fsm for managing your state transitions? Overkill for small projects - invaluable for larger ones where state changes can be literally anywhere.

There is one obvious way to add type annotations. The annotations themselves are optional. That's just gradual typing[0], and it doesn't "break" the zen of python any more than having the choice of using a class over fre

Because you’re a python shop that wants some extra safety. Because you’ve got an existing code base. Because you want the benefits of a dynamic language with some of the benefits of type checking. Because the editor experience is way better

Why? What is the complaint? What needed to change? Lots of fear mongering here without any actual detail of changes requested or made, and the reasons.

This “both sides” nonsense can get in the bin. Point to the leader of a political party that instigated the attack you speak of.
