I think the general feeling in the community is that the standard library is where packages go to die. Once something is in the standard library, it can't get meaningful features/updates outside of the yearly release cycle. pip an

They did settle on something: TOML, in PEP 517/518. There are a ton of in-progress PEPs building on top of PEP 518 to make pyproject.toml the place to put package metadata in a way that will actually be standardized and usable by mul

If you want it in your debugger (or ipython, etc), add an import to your `.pythonrc` or equivalent. Then it's ready and waiting for you without influencing your production environment or other engineer's testing environments. If y

Even beyond that, if you've imported `from foo import bar` and then `from something import *`, it might work just fine. Then you upgrade the `something` module, and it happens to now include an item named `bar`, and you're suddenl

Python has never used semantic versioning. There is a long history of small, breaking changes between "minor" releases of Python. Eg, Python 3.7 made `async` and `await` global keywords, breaking any case where old code used `asy

As "satisfaction" is such a subjective measure, I'm not sure there's any good public data, but at least a strong majority of folks fill out internal surveys indicating that they are happy in their current roles. We all f

Yes, unions and coordinated negotiation are the correct answer, but that's very difficult to pull off in companies this large with employees compensated so far above the cost of living.

If they're willing to do the integration and support work on their own, then it shouldn't be a roadblock, and they should be able to prove the impact that it offers to other engineers and be rewarded if they did all of the work.

It can vary highly from one half to the next, and changes with your teams, projects, etc. It can be extraordinarily rewarding to work on products that everyone you know uses every day. It can also be very frustrating and demoralizing to wo

It can simultaneously be true that 1) FAANG employees (including myself) are compensated and rewarded well above the national average, and potentially better than any other stable option available, and 2) FAANG employees are not adequately

On Colemak, the T is on the left hand, so the right hand would be moving to the right to press shift, then moving to the left to press the H, the moving right again for E.

After switching to Dvorak many years ago, I picked up the habits for a lot of shell commands to shift my right over two keys, so that my ring finger could hit the hyphen. `ls -l` is much more comfortable to type with middle-ring-middle than

We switched a service from 2.7 to 3.5 and saw an immediate 45% reduction in memory usage and 20% reduction in runtime. That's massive IMO. We saw further (but smaller) performances benefits upgrading to 3.6, again when upgrading to 3.

The point of the article isn't about how expensive gas is, but how much the price of gas varies between different states in the US. It would be like paying $1.46/l in Sydney, while the folks in Adelaide are only paying $0.70&#x2F

If it's entirely CPU bound, you can use multiprocessing to negate most of the GIL issues, and transparently send inputs/outputs between the parent and child processes. If it's I/O bound, then AsyncIO is a great way to e
