Personally, I am comfortable with Pythons "linter warning and we are all adults here" - it works well and I have never seen that somebody cried "I overwrote this private method and after an upgrade it did not work!". .N

There are always corner cases where you might need to do something differently. I had three memorable cases in my career: 1. Python 2.6x had a a stdlib bug where windows event logging did crash the process when the user had some rights set

The germans tried that in the 60s see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hahn_(ship) . It was uneconomical. You need specialized engineers for that, you need special permissions for ports and the important canals are

Many "developers" think print("OOOPS") is a good way to debug - so I guess it's an education problem.

Probably not... So they will have issues, too.

Yes, halfway decent security runs counter to most people's inclinations. Like osha or medecine rules. So enforcement is important, though it is annoying

Thanks! I am a little disappointed that it seems to be trash :(

We introduced MDM for our Mac boxes early this year. Over half(!) had outdated mac versions and missed multiple major updates. Before that - it was always really obvious that you needed to run the newest version ASAP (asap=All dev tools run

History shows that to simply not the case. Individuals are bringing down democracies all the time. Especially presidential democracies are super vulnerable to this because the president has outsized power compared to the other branches of t

I studied political sciences twenty years ago - even then it was established consensus that presidential democracies are vulnerable to authoritarian takeover. The position has too much power, is easily abused and there are not enough checks

Hey, do you think Gitlab should do anything except running after the next trend and develop shitty not-solutions for that? Why, that could improve Gitlab. We cannot have that!

As a simple example : once upon a time a We needed to generate a sort of heat map. Doing it in pure python takes a few seconds at the desired size (few thousand cells where each cell needs a small formula). Dropping to numpy braucht that do

I don't think Inheritance is always bad - sometimes it's a useful tool. But it was definitely overused and composition, interfaces work much better for most problems. Inheritance really shines when you want to encapsulate behaviou

Overall, I think centralized logging and metrics are super valuable. But stacks are all missing the mark. For example, every damn log message has hundreds of fields,. Most of which never change. Why not push this information once, on servic

Exactly. In theory, the original windows 10 model is the one most users want: a perpetually up to date os which runs also up to date software. Yes, of there might be reasons the pin something to an older version, but it this pc is on a net

I wish schools would stop using it so much. Mercator is useful, yes. But having good size comparisons is much more important for most everyday tasks.

I am forced to use a custom kv store for my current t project. That pos has a custom dsl, which can only be imported through a swing ui, by clicking five buttons. Also, the ui is for 1024 screens, they are tiny in my 4k monitor

I've studied political science in Germany. Unfortunately, most German political science people confused opaque writing with wisdom - basically hiding invalid theory behind an obtuse language. Nobody wanted to say out loud that they do

You caveman! Everybody knew that watching config though a 30*80 chars ssh display in black/white should be enough for everybody. Who needs help displays, validation or even sliders?!

Wasn't even legal but concerned the scope of the offer. Nuance, but nuance can be important. Like "rework the service and add minor festures" VS "slightly rework and do major features" - this affected the direction

One of our managers uses Ai to summarize everything. Too bad it missed important caveats for an offer. Well, we burned an all nighters to correct the offer, but he did not read twenty pages but one...

I will die on the hill that most of math would benefit from better naming, less short names and longer format. Yes, the crack math guys have no problems with terse symbols. But most people do. Good example is Greek letters for geometry. The

Honestly, the problem is not that there are layoffs, the problem is that the process sucks. you don't need to fire this person immediately - you can talk to him, wind his operations down and then let him go. I.e. in Germany it's o

You can also do that in Gh. Gizlab does that, too. But I hate it. When you do this, every build becomes cargo culting commands until it works. Ntm every build it's is own special snowflake from hell. I want standardized builds which ou

Maybe packer? That's terraform syntax, but optimized for building Vms.
