I am very surprised to hear the unit testing statistic. What kind of unholy edge cases would JSON parsing require to make it necessary to cover 122 million variations?

I think these days it might be wiser to use r-polars, in the very least because it has more available documentation around it.

Taking the well-being of abstract concepts like a country over the well-being of concrete individuals is a slippery road towards a particularly unappealing version of collectivism. Me emigrating from Eastern to Western Europe was among the

Why is it that these "sources" always remain anonymous and outside the possibility of an external review?

This feels like a scripting companion to Rust with Python-like syntax, nice one. I definitely could see it being using as a Lua replacement in embedded contexts.

I would imagine that a person who is seriously concerned about any of that would just install a standalone version of ruff. Given the existence of uvx, this addition seems like feature creep to me.

Can't you just do this? Why bundle? uvx ruff format .

Plenty of smart people prefer not to try their luck, though. A smart but risk-avoidant person will never be the one to create Facebook either.

This would have been a fair point had Scala 3 supported Python's packages and was compatible with Python's tooling. At the very least until Mojo is mature and open-sourced, there are simply no alternatives to pouring time and effo

The cost of your dogmatic preference is your Python experience being more miserable than it should be. Astral's ruff and uv are widely adopted for a good reason, and there is no reason to think that ty will come any different.

They have a tremendous disincentive to do this. Endless scrolling, combined with a massive amount of algorithmically fine-tuned content to satisfy preferences that you didn't even knew you had, is effectively a digital version of cocai

This is actually less of an issue for technically inclined folks, since we can get our initial fix from the darknet using cryptocurrency, and then getting more consistent at planning and sticking to routine becomes cognitively easier. This

Weird that they've switched from Qt for RStudio to being a VSCode fork with Positron. RStudio was so loved precisely because it was lightweight and performant, which just isn't a possibility with something like VSCode.

I personally feel some inner sense of dissonance when I use software written in Electron when alternatives are available. Software targeted to the technical audience has no valid reason not to aim higher in terms of performance and fundamen

By the look of it, the feeling I get is that a decent and convenient syntax proposal has been bikeshedded into rejection. Some particular form of keyword arguments at invocation would definitely make quite a few of my scripts more readable.

I strongly doubt that people who claim to, all of a sudden, be passionate about marketing or business are driven by the noble impulse of value creation that you're describing. Rather, this is more of a positive externality of chasing w

When it comes to modern Python, the only thing that can make it not production-ready is it being slow. Given that people in machine learning are using Python as a glue language for AI/ML libraries, this negligibly impacts their workflo

It's not a guarantee, but it does make it so much more likely. Therefore, it is an extremely useful prior to hold.

These degrees tend to prepare you quite well for programming, since at top-tier universities they are quite heavy on use of R and statistical modelling.

Yes, that exactly was my idea - a decorator still is confusing, but I hope that it is less confusing and more visually appealing to a beginner that an idiom with magic methods.

Hello all! I suggested a certain enhancement to Python, and Python developers have directed me to make a package first to see how popular this proposal would be, so here I am. GitHub - https://github.com/vovavili/main_f
