Do you mean that LLMs are unable to use metaphors effectively? (Just clarifying because English is not my first language)

Seems to me like the last thing you want to do is worry whether the LLM has a large enough context window to keep an eye on all duplicates. So I'd argue to deduplicate directly, where possible.

"karate chop flashlight" love this description! That's exactly why I've stayed with Motorola after my G5 just got too slow. I'm now on a Moto G Pro from 09/2020, it's getting fairly slow but all in all it

This. I have argued with plenty of developers on why comments are useful, and the counter arguments are always the same. I believe it boils down to a lack of foresight. At some point in time, someone is going to revisit your code, and even

I'm trying difft for git now and I also really like it. One reason why I think it shouldn't be the default is that it hides whitespace differences. Maybe that's configurable though, haven't looked into that

That is so obvious.. yet I've never thought to try this in 10 years of using git.

For your mypy performance question, make sure it's using incremental mode [1] so that it can skip checks on code that didn't change. Yes, it is probably among the slowest of type checkers, but it is also quite thorough. [1] https

And that's why I never trust/use x.0.0 releases because they must have missed something :)

Depending on how much that equality check is deciding the application's performance, jsonifying to compare stuff is fairly ok. Just beware of any lists which you'll need to sort manually (on both sides) to prevent false negatives

I bet they also pulled out the "but the code will change and then the comments become invalid, or even gasp misleading"?

I have done this too for familiarizing with large/complex codebases (i.e. for a C++ game engine). Afterwards I usually felt like it was a waste of time (and paper) as I didn't reach back to those notes often. But that's becau

Yeah, I don't think the internet can be fundamentally altered to the extent that it could be regulated. Unless it somehow becomes a major priority for the world leaders - in which case I'll bet we can say goodbye to any privacy we

That's a good one. I do the same in code documentation. One line to very briefly summarize what that function/module does, <enter><enter>, followed by a more detailed description.

By packaging situation do you mean the user-side of things, i.e. how to install stuff separately of each other? For that I've had good experience using https://pypi.org/project/pipx to install several cli tools wi

Sorry for slow response, I don't check back here often enough. You're right about virtualenv. I don't realy use that anymore, the venv module added in 3.3 gets the job done. And that does default to symlinks for posix. https

by more-coffee 7y ago
Depending on the platform, virtualenv defaults to creating a symlink to the Python executable. You can override it with --copies, but then you have a new problem: updating the interpreter in all virtualenvs when a new Python release comes o

- adapt a time management technique (i.e. pomodoro) to ensure frequent breaks from typing. Listen to it. Your code can wait. Grab some other objects during the breaks (lacrosse ball) - get light dumbbells, ranging from 2 to 6 kg, and start

Yes, there are more use cases I didn't knew of at the time. For example, optimizing revenue by calculating the optimal routing strategy for outbound calls. But data analysis wasn't a prority. Nor was scaling storage or computation
