My gripe with open plan offices is that I spend a lot of the day overhearing a bunch of shit I have zero interest in. I used to work at a consulting company, and I'd be in an open plan office with 5 other teams, working on 5 other proj

I moved to Beijing, and started working for a healthcare startup. I'm finally on a legitimate work visa. It was a pain, but I'm definitely glad I did it. Found the job by writing cold emails to people in Beijing through meetup.c

I bet that with longer strings, the odds of drawing a kolmogorov-random string are high enough that he's guaranteed to make money from his Challenge

Can't he just send you a Kolmogorov-random file? The definition of randomness (in Kolmogorov sense) basically corresponds directly to his challenge. Also, Kolmogorov-random sequences vastly outnumber non-random sequences in general, s

Parsing declaratively (by e.g. declaring EBNF) is really interesting. It sort of mushes together the two steps ("lexing" and "parsing"), which, as far as I can tell, are traditionally distinguished from one another. I gu

I really enjoyed this post. It's more on how to design libraries , rather than on why libraries are better http://tomasp.net/blog/2015/library-layers/index.html

Multiple inheritance often makes it extremely difficult to tell where my code is coming from. When you don't use inheritance, you often get to refer to another module by name . E.g. `my_dependency.fetch_data(123523)` With multiple in

Composition...isn't the same as inheritance?

Some of the giant underpasses fill up at night with people, who I assume are migrant workers. I imagine these underpasses provide a sensible place to go when the flooding happens. Also, the more official-looking temporary housing for const

I've had this happen with Clojurescript. If I recall correctly, runtime errors refer to the generated code, rather than to the source. So it can be hard to diagnose what exactly is going wrong. This may have changed since I was last

Interesting. In practice, I have started following a pattern where I have two Serializer classes - a "serializer" and a "deserializer". The "deserializer"'s job is to perform validation and type coercion

out of curiosity, how often do you find yourself reading the DRF source code to figure out whats happening?
47.
by skatenerd 12y ago
I really have a problem with the concept of the Serializer in DRF. It handles so much that has nothing to do with serialization. It performs something like de-serialization, where it takes an incoming dictionary and turns it into an ORM o

Is this some extension / perversion of the original XP principles? I feel like XP Explained talks a lot about office layout and how it can foster communication and teamwork.

Interesting - I can read from the variable but I can't assign to it.

Isn't there an issue in Python where closures don't work as expected? The following code will blow up: https://gist.github.com/skatenerd/72281cadd2ae3e44d6cf For some reason, stashing the variable inside of a

Ugh thank you. I got hung up for like ten minutes, before I realized it could also be written as "foldr f z = go", or "foldr f z elements = go elements"

When I test at the REPL, I feel like I spend lots of time trying to re-enter updated code. This means I do a lot of: A: Pasting changed code into repl B: Re-typing code C: Hitting "previous command" and "return" The ove
