Really? I would have figured they'd just do something like: class OrderedDict(dict): pass (Plus a little bit of API shimming.)

I still see dict ordering as an implementation detail; not a technical one but a descriptive one. If you want to rely on insertion order, use collections.OrderedDict. It communicates your intention far better, and there should be no overhea

I feel like you just read the headline and not the email in the body. The email quoted is all about their pay-per-use model.

One reason is that volunteers in these moderation positions begin to see it as a symbol of status and the power goes to their heads. About this time last year, Digital Extremes had to pretty much fire all of the Warframe chat moderators for

Relying on the filesystem has its own drawbacks. If you scale horizontally, the local filesystem might not have the file you created because it's running on a different server. Mounting storage across multiple servers will introduce bo

It can be approximated with a single-item `oneof` field. It's ugly and boilerplatey, but at least it's binary-compatible with proto2 and gives the original behaviour. My main problem with proto2 these days is that I needed to inte

One argument I could think of is that it can take a long time for typical users to upgrade their browsers. If they've stopped development on the old version, then open sourcing it could help people find vulnerabilities that will never

I wonder if you could add a CSS rule to set the background colour of images to white?

Unless this job was a study on sleep deprivation, how could they possibly believe they had the right to do this?

Would you have an adult new grad lead a team to build a product around an op-amp?

That seems like it would be confusing. Imagine trying to track down the source of behaviour that no longer exists in your code...

Not sure about most excited, but I am looking forward to setting PYTHONCACHEPREFIX to a location that isn't in a volume mounted into my Docker container for development.

Oh man, for some reason I thought pytest was a synonym for Python's unittest module.

I like the idea, but I think I would be more comfortable with it generating test files that I could keep beside my other tests. Also, `auto_pytest_magic` doesn't seem to exist. ImportError: cannot import name 'auto_pytest_ma

Actually, I've been using Ritual daily for the past few years in Toronto and it's been pretty interesting to see new small restaurants pop up around my home and office.

I read the title that way too, and the article almost seems like it's reinforcing that point until you get to the end. Kind of a weird almost unintentional form of clickbait.

In Docker terminology, that would be a service?

What happens to orphaned gems? It seems like someone could make the case for getting ownership of them much easier than if you kept ownership and added a loud deprecation warning.

That's a good point. Could indicate a targeted attack?

Why bother giving a take-home test if you don't trust the results? Why compare the results to work done in a completely different medium with no opportunity to iterate on the output, take a break or work comfortably? If you assign a ta

I once interviewed at a company that had me write a couple styles of matrix multiplication in C as a take home test, as well as give a one-page description of a project I had done. The project I described heavily involved graph searches. Th

It's not a perfect solution, but you could perhaps hack it with @overload to say that the "str" version returns NoReturn.
