before you downvote this comment, consider (a) CICO (calories-in/calories out) is not the same as the energy conservation principle, you can claim that CICO model does not work while firmly believing in the energy conservation principl

typically in CPython its just a sign that the code is fairly old, or at times (as with the unittest module), that an API was ported from CamlCase language at least partially.

As a German I have a reflex to wanting to open the windows in most indoor situations regularly, when I am in AC'ed/ventilated situations. Of course in my AC'ed office, the windows wouldn't open, but surely the air does n

What baffles me is, if you leave a house FOR YEARS, why don't you hire a neighbour for upkeep? I mean every now and then a roof tile must come off in a storm that needs to be refitted, a house that you don't heat in winter starts

Yes and no. I'd take a non-operator overloaded API any time of the abuse operator overloading is used for in the Haskell ecosystem.

I didn't do much of research and went straight away into employment. But my wife did and ended up in a bunch of papers in the co-authors just for helping out with a small part of the stuff (sometimes she really was surprised when she f

It runs on top of Erlang if I see this right which isn't quite what I personally would be looking for (rust or MLTon, OCAML compile to native code).

I'd say we'll see a Rust-with-GC language fairly soon which will be gravitating towards SML/OCAML with today's syntactic expectations.

I think there is an interesting YouTube series up by Jesse enkamp who kind of builds the theory that karate was more of a grappling martial arts but kind of got turned into a boxing sport when the Japanese adapted it from Okinawa. They alre

well, I'd just point out that you should have a proper backup in place and occasionally cycle hardware.

I am of course not an empirical scientist in that area but I tutored math middle school students when in High School. [Note: This was in Germany and not in the US so it wasn't 'common core'] You see, the students who failed a

what I did was pip-compile production.in then use the pinned production requirements and a dev.in to produce the dev environment. Key point being that the dev environment needs to have the very same pinned versions for all packages that are

It is complicated I think. For one, I think competition, there is Kenneth Reitz' pipenv and then of course conda's environment.yml. I think pipenv lost the popularity contest but somehow lead to a situation where people wondered o

Interesting, that was new to me. Wirth's work is not the worst source for inspiration of course. I still find the adoption of Go interesting though, considering how limiting Pascal/Modula/Oberon felt to me when leaving them b

I never worked in a codebase that was formatted in this style and surely its weird and not at all what I am used to. But I somehow from looking at the examples find it to be somewhat pleasant. Doesn't mean I would pick it as my standar

You could also assume it as a rip-off of Modula/Oberon.

I think there may be a chance for success in going FULL scrum, but really there are a couple of caveats. * The appropriate sprint-length must be found, there is a lower-bound by how long you need for developing something with user-value (i.

I am bringing up this point that there are tons of miserably tested Java/C++/etc applications because its a problem correlated with their usage, just like runtime type-errors correlate with dynamic languages. A fair comparison men
