> - Everything except C now has standard strings, not just arrays of characters. Zig's strings are null-terminated arrays of bytes. It's an unfortunate mistake from an otherwise interesting language.

That's not really true. In my experience (London), the trains are on-time more often than not.

I'm not taking the perspective of anyone here because there's hardly any information for me to do that. You're the one that has constructed this whole scenario in your mind based off very little from OP's post.

You have zero context other than what they said. What about withholding judgement about things you know nothing about before saying people are bad? The full story is likely much more complex.

If I understand correctly, this sounds like https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt/ . It's quite useful, with some filtering options (hidden files, gitignore, extensions) and support for Claude-style tags.

Isn't that because you didn't have a good package manager to handle these? If you have a package manager that allows you to add packages from Git repos, why would you use submodules?
610.
by maleldil 2y ago
If your projects and libraries are public, your package manager will likely let you use Git references (usually commits/branches/tags) to define dependencies. I find that cleaner than submodules.

Not OP, but on Firefox 132, Sonoma 14.4, M1 Pro, it's quite janky. It's less so on Chrome and Safari, but it's still noticeable.

If you're using simple pipes with little control flow, bash is a great choice. Once you need something more complex, you're better off using something else. Not necessarily Python (Ruby and JS work well as replacements, too), but

by maleldil 2y ago
Better to immediately switch to Python (or anything else) once you have any non-trivial control flow in your bash script. Loops, non-trivial conditionals, and argument parsing are all easier in Python. Bash is for simple scripts that just c

I meant that I can't sleep 8 hours and feel rested. If I'm forced to sleep less than I need, I'd be sleepy and tired all day. Taking a nap helps but isn't always possible, and is even less time efficient.

by maleldil 2y ago
Why would it be an advantage? Aren't you "losing time"? I need 10 hours every day, so even if I go to bed at 10pm, I'd wake up at 8am, which is "late" for most people. I'd love to be able to wake up at 6am

ParamSpec doesn't have the same objective as what they're saying. The sibling comment shows how you can get the proper types in TypeScript and use them as types for other functions. On the other hand, ParamSpec is a hack to proper

Writing `body: list[AstNode]` lets you statically know what elements you'll get when you do `body[i]` or iterate over it. If you don't specify the type, you don't know what you're getting, and you have to rely on always

by maleldil 2y ago
While that works (and I use it extensively), it's a bit hacky. You have to use `object.__setattr__` to set attributes in `__init__` or `__post_init__`, which looks so wrong.

C++ has extensive type inference now (C++20): #include <string> auto func(auto x, auto y) -> auto { return x + y; } auto main() -> int { auto i = func(1, 2); auto s = func(std::string(

This is the relevant bit: > The redundant types are deprecated as of Python 3.9. However, while the aliases may be removed at some point, removal of these aliases is not currently planned. As such, no deprecation warnings are currently i

Something I didn't see mentioned much here is refactoring. Refactoring without types is like walking in the dark. You have to check everywhere to see how your changes impact other code, and you'll certainly miss some and only find

Use pyright in strict mode, then. If you really want runtime checking, you can Pydantic's validation decorator, typeguard or beartype. Current typed python is much better than people give it credit. You just have to use it properly.

The old stuff never stopped working, though. You can still use Optional, Union, TypeAlias, and import collection protocols from typing. You don't have to migrate if you don't want to. They're not even deprecated.

You can use TypedDict from `typing_extensions` if your version doesn't have it. You can use a lot of the newer stuff from there, too, especially if you enable `__future__.annotations`. How old is your Python, though? TypedDict is from
