Some linters find issues you care about. Forgotten print statements or confusing indentations come to mind. I’ve worked with people who easily forget, and I’m one of them myself.

I believe what is missing is a way of distributing apps. You face similar issues if you get the C++ source of a random program - there are quite a few build systems in use! However, the compiled program can often just be zipped and shipped,

I think I have a similar experience in some ways, but building python from source should work on linux in my experience. On a debian ish system I’d expect apt installing build essentials and the libraries you need and you should be good. I’

Being a consultant / programmer with feet on the ground, eh, hands on the keyboard: some orgs let us use some AI tools, others do not. Some projects are predominantly new code based on recent tech (React); others include maintaining le

This requires shutting down one computer (the mac) first, though.

Meaning you will job hop less, but you still have to weigh the advantage/disadvantage as always.

Pydantic seems to be fast (in the context, it’s written in rust) so it might make sense to keep using pydantic for performance reasons.

Also as an employee, this forces me to job hop to stay relevant.

If I order a new car, it may well not exist yet. The deal is that there will be a car on hand at some agreed upon date. I don’t think Gates did anything more illegal than the analogous car deal. More risky, perhaps, but that’s another thing

Just is fantastic for any project - also non-code ones!

It would be utterly nuts otherwise. For loops over all elements in a sequence. If the sequence is a list of str, as an example, what would the «item after the last item» be?

Absolutely. I guess this is mostly relevant for those who work on larger dotnet/mssql/ms-tech projects where it fits into the workflows in general.

Linqpad is super cool in certain .net ways, but oh man the text editor component is the worst one I interact with on a regular basis. I wish that part would be replaced by neovim or monoaco or, basically, anything. The snappiness, the table

Typescript and fortran are listed as dynamically typed languages. Doesn’t seem like the author researched too much here.

As a candidate, you highlight it yourself!

There’s absolutely no reason to believe that the coordinate system of the embeddings would be aligned along the directions of individual concepts, even if they were linear and one dimensional in the embedding space.

I’ve done 60 kph, similar speed I’d say, on this one. Rides like a dream. https://www.r-m.de/en-au/bikes/load-75/

Do the wave modes offer higher velocity?

Pyjq is the python package for jq, in case you want to use jq as a library. The article claims that this doesn’t exist.

I use my IDE when I care about the production code, but I prefer notebooks when I’m just using code to understand data through visualization and statistics. It drives me nuts that some people see this as «either or». Linqpad is another and

Configure-make is easier to use for someone else. Configuring a cmake based project is slightly harder. In every other conceivable way I agree 100% (until someone can convince me otherwise)

There’s some stuff in itertools to cut sequences into batches. Could be a useful intermediate step - grab 100 things at a time and write functions that receive and emit lists, rather than generators all the way down.

There is also the template module from the python 2 days.

The nicest thing, I think, is that you can make a new shell command simply by writing a python function.

Many of the reasons csv is bad is because you don’t control both reader and writer. Here, if you’re 2 persons that collaborate OK, they should be fine.

Numpy actively uses … to make slicing multidimensional arrays less verbose. There are also uses in FastAPI along the lines of «go with the default».

Not from what I’ve seen. What are the relevant products in this space? Can’t expect every random company to set up package scanning from scratch.
