Type hints just make everything so much easier. When you're writing a function, you _know_ that parameter is an int, or float, or something you can use a list comprehension on (iterable). Why not just say it right there in the function

What's the use case for Attrs in a post-dataclasses world? I use dataclasses all the time, and I've never felt the need to reach for Attrs. What am I missing out on?

To be fair, people don't often challenge that. I usually say "It's how I'm used to doing it, but I'd be happy to hear a better alternative". I don't think anyone ever offered one.

You completely missed my point. Both my examples were when a function returned an object, and the caller has no idea whether that object ever null. It has nothing to do with parameters. For what it's worth, I completely disagree with y

The int example was a bit misguided, seeing as int is a primitive type in Go, different from pointer types. In Python, both are references. Basically, it's the difference between returning None from a function `def f() -> MyClass` i

C++11 was a huge shift in how C++ is written, and term coined for "code written using the new techniques" was "Modern C++". Whether you think that term should instead mean "the latest C++ version" is a differen

I don't see how that's any different from normal method calls, though. If you don't know what `a + b` does for an arbitrary type, why would you know what `a.add(b)` does? Overloaded operators and methods are all just operatio

amedvednikov only sounds heroic if this is first time you've heard about him or the criticisms towards him over the years. To those who've heard of him before, he's just a conman. Make no mistake, this is just one of his many

If you have A -> B -> C -> A, then you need all three of A, B and C to be defined if you're going to use any one of those modules. When that's the case, the only thing you're gaining by using modules is the organisat

Why create a venv and then run poetry install? Poetry already manages virtual environments.

It does, though. Well, hypomania at least; I've never experienced mania. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have a single day of hypomania for the rest of my life if I could help it, but it _does_ make you more productive for a s

I don't think so. It's based on argparse, while Click uses optparse. Gooey works with Fire, though.

I think you're confusing things. A difference between the number of written characters and the number of phonemes doesn't make a language "non-phonetic" if you mean consistency between spelling and pronunciation. What ma

If you need to stay away from the GC because of some practical reason, you can always write C/C++/Rust. You implied that this is a frequent situation when it isn't. Your example of "anything with a UI" was quite a b

How does that matter? You said "game development", not "writing a game engine". You said "data analysis", not "writing linalg algorithms", in which case we'd all have to bow to Fortran anyway. Yo

It's an introductory course. The goal isn't to train students to be able to do all those things. I'd wager most professional programmers aren't able to do more than a couple of them well. There's more to front-end&#

Parent referred to int64. BigInt and int64 are not the same thing. JS doesn't have integers; all numbers are represented as doubles. One of the reasons having actual integers is important is performance, as integer operations are often
