That's true, but pyright is still IMO the best LSP in its own right, and we also have based-pyright that shortens the gap to pylance a little bit.

> Take a look at Ladybird. There's a browser being built from scratch with a small team (less than 10?) Ladybird is so, so far away from being comparable to Firefox. It only supports a fraction of modern websites.

Not to the same extent. Neovim has extensive Lua support, to the point where you can do _almost_ anything in Lua, whereas in Vim, it's, AFAIK, a second-class citizen. For example, my nvim config is written entirely in Lua with no vimsc

IMO, it's somewhat polarising. Some people love it, but I personally can't stand it. It feels too heavy, trying to dominate every aspect of writing code. I prefer lightweight editors, but I recognise it's a personal thing.

I've had some success with PMD/CMD [1]. It's Java-based, though, which could be a pain, depending on your setup. If your codebase uses Python, you can use Pylint for this, too. [1] https://pmd.github.io/pmd&#x

I like using paste to sum over numbers where each number is in a distinct line. E.g.: printf "1\n2\n3" | paste -sd+ | bc 6 I suppose you could do that more cleanly with awk, but this has worked whenever I needed it.

That's a common story. Research has shown that a significant portion of people with treatment-resistant depression are, in fact, bipolar, with bipolar 2 being more susceptible to depressive episodes.

It's abandoned, and tbh it's more trouble than it's worth. It's far easier and more reliable to specify the CLI and have it generate the help text than the other way around. All major languages have good CLI parsing libr

Pyright and mypy are typecheckers, completely orthogonal to the interpreter. They work like linters that statically perform type checking. By default, Python's type hints are ignored at runtime (i.e. you can do `x: str = 2`, and the ru

> Python barely has more type support than Ruby That's not true. mypy and Pyright (the main type checkers) are very ahead of Ruby's Sorbet, and Python actually has proper ergonomic syntax to work with types, which Ruby doesn&#x

Amazing book. My favourite parts are the framing of fighting complexity as the main goal of design (strategic vs tactical thinking) and the idea of "deep modules".

IME, I've never seen a situation where `x += y` is preferred over `x.extend(y)`, with the bonus that `extend` works in places where `+=` doesn't, like tuples where reassignment isn't possible.

Type safety isn't binary but a spectrum. It's obvious that C++ is more type-safe than JS but less than Rust, which is less than Haskell.

Seconded. I changed from pyenv to mise because pyenv was slowing down my shell startup (probably the shims, which mise doesn't use by default), and I'm slowly using mise for more stuff. Right now, I'm using it to auto-turn on

Scripts should be using `/usr/bin/env python3` anyway, so they work inside virtualenvs and other scenarios where `/usr/bin/python` isn't the Python you want.

They did a soft reset, with Ncuti's new season being marked as the Season 1 of the 2023 version. It's still going strong, with this season being very strong, IMO.

They can change the license by creating a new release with a new license, but existing versions with the previous license retain the previous license.

While you're right (it's indeed not open-source), the project advertises itself as such, so the title is "right", even if it's a lie.

I meant to say what uv is _right now_, which AFAIK is replacement for virtualenv, some of pip, and pip-tools. I understand they have a vision for the future, but I'll believe it when I see it. As it stands, they're already a very

uv is essentially an improved version of pip, virtualenv and pip-tools, but from the outside it's pretty much the same thing. The CLI imitates most of pip's options too. It's not like conda, which is a completely different ec

I don't think we'll ever see proper packaging integrated into the language. Our best hope is for the ecosystem to coalesce around a particular tool, or at least have standards that all the major players follow. The latter is kind

The idea is to have gradual typing, like Python does. Most annotations in Python have no impact on runtime (e.g. parameter types aren't checked), but they are still valuable for external tools to perform type checking. A program with t

I use and love ligatures, but calling them "critical" is weird. I'll have to admit that they're the reason I don't use alacritty, though.
