Thanks for the clarification though your example is unpythonic. Here's refactored to be more pythonic and I'd argue it's more readable than pattern match alternative: pet = json_pet.get('type') if pet == &

OpenAI turning out to be a total bait and switch. Especially true when your co-founder is actively calling you out on it[1] Remember kids: if it's not a non-profit organization it is a _for_ profit one! It was silly to expect anything

LINE [1] - is a very popular messenging app in SEA, Japan and Korea. It's more of a service suite (food delivery, news/entertainment streams etc.) but at the core it's a really good messenger. Key features that I like: - Grea

Wasn't it kinda apparent that all of these 3rd party CI services will go the way of the dodo now that github actions and gitlabci exist? How could they compete with a platform built-in CI?

This article focuses a lot on _good_ of web-scraping but I don't think we even need to go that far. Fight against web-scrapers just seems like a complete logical oxymoron: they want data to be public but also select who gets to see it.
