Putting aside the dreary package management situation with Python (although perhaps Poetry will scratch that itch?) codebases really only shine with comprehensive unit testing, linting, static analysis and a bit of discipline to stop it fro

I’ve used Miro in this way as well, particularly for brainstorming exercises. The UI is quite snappy and very much real-time focussed.

Django (Python) also includes auth if I’m not mistaken. A good approach I’ve seen is using Django to create REST API’s while using the admin interface and ORM support as free bonuses.

I’ve found the opposite with pyright. Code that seems right but is failing checks is fixed with the next release :)

I second this; languages and frameworks come and go and you definitely do not want to be left behind. What’s more important is learning how to learn, so you can pick up any language (“tool”) that comes your way.

If the purpose of the interview is to demonstrate your c++ or java skills sure. If you want to get something demonstrable done quickly so you can iterate on it and have that all-important conversation with the interviewer then I'd sugg

I recall this, but I wasn’t quite clear on what the issue was with pipenv itself (other than questionable behaviour from the author)

I’m always glad to see Make being used. It’s such a powerful and simple tool that usually does the job just as well as more “bespoke” CLI’s for various frameworks and languages

How does it compare to pipenv?

Yeah at my current job we run RDS in AWS and scale it up to a m5.12xlarge when we need to get sh*t done fast. It normally sits around a 4xlarge simply because the 12 is far too expensive. I'll check out GeoMesa though, looks interestin

My suggestion might be to a precalculated step to split "the universe" into grid areas divided by geometry complexity (i.e. population density gridding) then process these reference areas in parallel. How you do the latter is prob

Thanks for sharing this! I've been thinking about alternatives to PostGIS to handle larger datasets (millions) and nothing seems to come close to the level of functionality, performance and community support of Postgres

I'm not sure what 'a lot faster' really means in this context. Honestly, I've found using Spatialite queries to be orders of magnitude faster for analysis than shapely or geopandas. The latter typically imply row-by-row

I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'm excited to try some of this stuff out, like spec'd Mocks. I'm curious if anyone else who has been drawn in by the allure of the Mock has some strategies to avoid th

My gateway into functional programming was via the concepts of it, things like immutability, declarative language and map/filter/reduce functions which are present in UI frameworks like ReactJS. If you’re creating a user interface

But it’s certainly a concept worth exploring, if not for the sake of exploiting free tiers but maybe for maximum availability.

No offence, but it makes me feel sick to my stomach that someone would think in this way, thinking that they could buy their way into higher education simply for the fun of it while taking the seat of someone who truly deserves to do the co

It’s like this too even in major cities in Australia. Market stalls and the like all seem to have the Square tap-and-go things. I don’t even think I’ve used an actual card in a long time, just my phone. The pandemic probably helped move thi

I completely reject the idea of “the best programming language”. It’s just a tool for a specific job. That’s all there is to it. It’s not going to solve every problem and it never will.

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the comments over what agility means vs the bureaucratic cargo-culting safe/scrum nonsense that has been perpetuated by enterprises and “certification” providers. The ideas behind agility in soft

For me it forms part of the flow state, but yeah if there's something that demands my absolute full attention (some complex algorithm for instance) then I'll pause it.

by tcbasche 6y ago
It’s funny because that outcome is almost certainly the opposite of agility. Just do the work and hope it’s what they wanted.

I can almost guarantee either the docs won't get updated, or new source code directories will get created without the ARCHITECTURE file. At least having a single file means only one file potentially goes out of date, instead of dozens
