I could relate to the claims in the article: for the last 6 months I've had soreness and pain in my left index fingertip that has confounded the doctors I've seen about it, and all that's helped is to avoid using it. Perhaps

for performance reasons, yes, I believe it's because the accumulation is over parallel computations so the ordering is at the mercy of the scheduler. but I'm not familiar with the precise details edit: at 13:42 in https:/&#x

The most important difference in my experience has been that pyright is a lot more rigorous and correct than mypy. I found that it was easy to confuse mypy, leaving large amounts of code unexpectedly not type checked. Put simply, I trust py

yes, postgres will add such a condition to the query and in simple cases like this is able to use a corresponding index unfortunately this can break down in more complex cases. roughly postgres trusts a limited set of functions and operator

Yes, that's one of the most confusing. http://leewoodprojects.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2955... is a more useful diagram (unfortunately I can't find the original source)

A truly great comment. On the second observation, my thought on that debate is that we should consider the lifecycle of things made by artisans. Is it true that they are often made and never remade? Software at most companies is rather diff

This example gets trotted out a lot but I don't really understand it. Why do we assume cyclists have a conceptual mechanical understanding of a bicycle and can remember its exact appearance? If they build or repair bicycles, sure, but

that's an excellent treatment. I'm curious: this video picks a particular example of a distribution of the amounts and shows that the expected profit from switching is not defined. Can one somehow prove that for all possible distr

pyright is a command line program https://github.com/microsoft/pyright in my experience it's a far better type checker than mypy, which tends to silently not check things without you ever realising

This sounds plausible but I'm not sure it's quite accurate, because in my experience, zooming in also affects the size of things that use px units in CSS.

yes, and in my experience UIs make this much easier than -p but for me a bigger reason to prefer a git UI is that I can actually see the graph. I can do things like drag branches between commit nodes. I find this so much easier and safer th

people talk a lot about MyPy but I must recommend Pyright as a better alternative. It's much more robust. In my experience the main problem with MyPy is that when it's unsure about what's going on (especially due to imports i

to my knowledge the easiest version of this manoeuvre, if you still have feature-1, is git checkout feature-2 git rebase feature-1 --onto master rather confusing. is there a better way? edit: oh, you mentioned extra commits on

I agree with the sibling, I don't think it's _necessary_ for the contradictory aspects to have no casual link. There just has to be some kind of surprising contradiction, although maybe you tend to feel more entertained by the sur

in Verdana 4 space indentation is about 3 ordinary characters wide. I find that perfect. code indented with 2 spaces is more problematic though.

by ossopite 6y ago
I'm confused. In every modern language I've used apart from go and terraform, only leading indentation matters and autoformatters do not apply mid-line alignment or align subsequent lines against characters in a previous line. edi

I switched to coding in a proportional font, Verdana, a couple of years ago and never looked back. That's the font you are reading this comment in, in fact. Code is mostly words and words are much easier to read in a proportional font.

This pretty much sums up my experience of poetry. Some great ideas, but an astoundingly buggy implementation that shows no sign of improving. We tried it at length in my day job and gave up in the end.
