An adjacent thread has some confusion about whether chained assignments happen left to right or right to left. Honestly that’s a factoid I don’t expect most Python programmers to know. It’s usually a bad idea to rely on people knowing arcad

It’s assigned left to right, not right to left. It’s documented in the Python language reference. > An assignment statement evaluates the expression list and assigns the single resulting object to each of the target lists, from left to r

Chained assignments are banned according to the style guide at my workplace. Too many opportunities for misuse. And if you insist on a one-liner assignment to two variables just use two statements separated by the semicolon. I challenge any

That’s only on very old CPUs. Getting benefits from vector extensions is incredibly easy if you do any kind of data crunching. A lot of integer operations not covered by BLAS can benefit including modern hash tables.

Haskell has had hlint for a very long time. Things like rewriting chained calls of `concat` and `map` into `concatMap`, or just rewriting your boolean expressions like `if a then b else False`.

It’s not naïve. It’s called having a reasonable threat model. I worry a lot more about random people on the Internet than random people who can get physically close to me. And if you do get physically close, you will find thousands of Bluet

Hey I just got back into work after the long weekend! I thought a colleague of mine had filed an issue but I didn’t find it. I filed it myself just now: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49310

Because these BLE devices are so cheap that they don’t have storage. And BLE transmission is already very power efficient: the power consumption of BLE is probably the same order of magnitude as powering flash storage.

I have a somewhat opposite experience. I also use a rolling distro, and in the past six months, I've seen wine break, and I've also seen Citrix Workspace break due to a dependency problem (perhaps Mesa?). Granted, these two cases

I’ll use Ghostty as an example because that’s the only software I use that I know is written in Zig. It’s also a moderately complex project not a toy project. Its Zig 0.15 effort started in August and was only complete in October (see first

That’s a hardware issue. They backtrack on software issues fairly quickly. Remember the discoveryd saga and the revert to mDNSResponder?

I turn off predictive text for a deeper reason: it interrupts your train of thought. I have a sentence mostly formed in my head, but when predictive text predicts a word that’s different, there’s so much extra mental overhead to consider wh

I think this thread conflating between walkable and having good transit. A walkable city means almost everything you need is within walking distance. That doesn’t mean there are buses or trains to take you out of this area. I live in a walk

by kccqzy 9mo ago
Disagree. A city is walkable because it is dense: daily destinations like your grocery store is close enough to walk to. But density implies congestion for cars because if everyone is in a car the roads will be too congested. This happens r

That doesn’t make sense at all. The raison d’être of SEC is to protect regular mom-and-pop investors. A private company just doesn’t allow anyone to invest in them. Why should SEC rules apply? On what legal basis can you force a private com
