Having fast and reliable code indexing, enable good "go to definition", completion and auto import is actually very exciting. Pyright/pylance were a boon because they were the first non-pycharm good implementation. But they s

Damn it, this unicorn farting rainbows and craping gold is not yet capable of towing another car. I don't know why they advertise it as a replacement for my current mode of transportation.

Didn't know that but I assume you can share most of the engine's logic anyway. Those kind of generalisations tend to break down once you get pratical implementations.

Personally, to defer importing numpy until I can't anymore. Sometimes you just need a little matrix shenanigans, and it's a shame to have to bring in a bazooka to get decent ergonomics and performances.

You don't really often need an array language, just like you don't really often need regexes. When when you have a problem that perfectly fits the bill, they are very good at it. The problem is they are terrible at everything els

Never put it this way before, but it's exactly why I started blogging. I was fed up with how bad Python content was online.

pyrsistent is super slow, though. Just ran a quick benchmark: - Creation - 8-12x slower - Lookup - 22-27x slower - Contains check - 30-34x slower - Iteration - 5-14x slower - Merge - 32-158x slower Except at 10k+ i

Ordering is very useful for testing. This morning for example, I tested an object serialized through a JSON API. My test data seems to never match the next run. After a while, I realized one of the objects was using a set of objects, which

Also, this is why we still gravitate toward FOSS communities. It's the last vestige of a dying era. A circle where people like that have a chance to hang up together and keep the warm feeling of being human.

- C takes a lot more context than a high-level language - a lot of C code out there is not safe, so the LLM outputs that - C encodes way less of the programmer's intention, and way more implementation details. So unless the author is e

Microsoft has this problem with most of its products. It's not just AI, it's a market fit and quality problem. They don't need to solve it, however. Their strategy has been quite clear: make it barely usable so that is passes

Notice how the article load_penguins() example starts neatly after all the messy parts of data science are done and stops right before the next pain starts. It lives in a sterile, idealized world. Python is a great language for data science

When you squash merge almost everything, only the last messages and messages you let to yourself at checkpoints are important. JJ has it right, a message should be optin, not optout.

Not but you can be quite sure somewhere deep inside the TOS there is a line saying their telemetry swallow your soul. If not, it will be added. It's google, that's what they do.
