For people, if the "garbage" still has positive nutritional value that would otherwise be wasted due to taste.

AFAIK, you only need to import the actual types that you're using (`from typing import List, Iterable, Optional, ...`). What else is there?

Do you have any recommendations for cryptocoins?

Hmm - but hang on, though. Doesn't that just bring the problem up a level? This setup assumes that you have "shallow" logic: that `Process` will not call any other methods, and especially that it won't call any dependenc

by scubbo 3y ago
Oh interesting. So in a sense you are passing the "dependency's response" as a parameter _to_ `Process`, and thus removing the need to mock a dependency in order to induce an erroring dependency-response - you can instead _cr

Add me (born 1990) to the list of people who immediately recognized Ferengi as playing into how racist people would stereotype Jewishness. "Utterly dead in the mainstream" is pushing it somewhat.

When I was a young nerd, I was a rabid fan of logic, objectivity, science. Anything which smacked of spirituality (or, worse, religion) was immediately dismissed as useless sentimental nonsense. I recognized that some people might _enjoy_ t

Add one more to the set of people who can't guess why they were called that. My best guess is that "wider shoes are better for hitting misbehaving children", but I have no idea if that's actually true or not.

OK, but then I'm not clear what part of the workflow is claimed to be unique to Vim, then.

Interesting - I'll definitely have to think on that one, thank you! I suppose another required assumption (implied but not explicitly stated) is that the activities undertaken by "people who need to raise cash" are, on balanc

A very reasonable question, and I'll admit that I'm not deeply-entrenched in enough technical communities to give you an actual example. But yeah, intuitively I do agree with the sibling commenter - a well-curated archive is a too

Belittling people pointing out selfishness as merely being jealous is not the slam-dunk you believe it to be. And, as diordiderot points out, I'm not trying to _take_ anything from anyone, but rather pointing out that they way they acc

The best of both worlds - a friendly community that welcomes newbies, with a searchable archive - is possible. Limiting to only chat-based support means that support is bottle-necked by the folks who are available and engaged at the time

Quite. The general response I get from questions like this to financial folks is that these markets and vehicles and products are important "for liquidity", but they can never quite tell me who liquidity benefits other than the sy

When it results in a concentration of wealth in the hands of people who can abuse it for political ends, or results in market crashes that cause knock-on impact to real humans - then yes, worrying about it is reasonable and justified.

I've used my fair share of macros to transform text. Vim's great for that. But that's less than 1% of my work as a developer. Much more often, I'm wanting an IDE to do things like: * Run/debug code * Jump to a decla

by scubbo 3y ago
Agreed, I do the same. But in an IDE, that motion is "Cmd-F, <type>, Enter". Vim's not inherently superior there.
