Very nice! Independently of this thread, I was delighted to discover the cross references between pages. It makes a big difference.
They've always resonated with me, maybe because I often work on legacy code. All this ancient technology that no one understands. Crazy rituals/incantations to get things done. People being afraid to skip steps, even if…
Someone please explain the grapple leapfrog example and why that "exploit" is interesting. If my players tried that, I'd happily let them use their full turns to do some crazy trapeze act across the battlefield. And…
Odd, I don't see any mention of subprocess.run, the workhorse of python scripting. Quick rundown for the unfamiliar: Give it a command as a list of strings (e.g., subprocess.run(["echo", "foo"]).) It takes a bunch of…

Not to dimish the achievement, but TFA is pretty clear about the limitations of the piece: > I was able to get it working consistently, although it did lose 2-3 balls an hour and could only run for a few hours without…
Indeed. Inheriting from 'collections.UserDict' instead of 'dict' will make TFA's code work as intended for most of those edge cases. UserDict will route '.get', '.setdefault', and even iteration via '.items()' through…
Can you give an example? I've never noticed that (except for certain specific dialects and slang) but I may be blind to it.
Goodness, yes. The last time I put (genuinely constructive) criticism in a peer evaluation, it turned out to be the only non-positive thing that was said about that coworker. So it became a focus of his yearly review.…
How do you know that interviewees aren't spending more time on it? Because you can't guarantee all candidates are spending the same amount of time, it becomes a game theory problem where the candidates will typically…
Great advice, but my case is different because our framework is REALLY hurting us. /s It's wild how easy it is to fall into this trap. IMO, if you're considering switching frameworks (especially for perf reasons), your…
I wonder if Bacardi might be a better analogue for what TSMC gets from this deal. Bacardi started a distillery in Puerto Rico (iirc, to sell in the US without tariffs) well before the Cuban Revolution. When the Cuban…
I love it. I want a python-esque version that's whitespace sensitive. But only for trailing whitespace.
Yeah, counting parens! Dohohoho!
From the interview with the TV's original owner, this seemed like his ideal outcome. The owner had seen discussions of the TV online and knew it was a big deal. But he still couldn't get rid of it until this guy came…
And killing a dog is wrongest.
I turned off the alerts, and felt like an idiot after the storms here in NC. Until I realized that the "severe flooding" warning would have been indistinguishable from the one that goes off whenever there's a nontrivial…
Many people who need nginx are proficient in JS, or they work with people who are proficient in JS. Lua is not a common skill among web developers.
I dunno, ask my wife and she'll tell you the songs I'm usually practicing are beyond the edge of my capabilities. In seriousness, I don't think that statement is meant for lifting/running or anything that's bounded by…
> are there frequent updates in Go spec introducing new features that it is necessary to auto install the compiler itself ? From what I've seen, the need for frequent updates is more about keeping security scans happy.
Looks like there's not been much progress on this since the article. Here's a more recent article I found, if anyone's curious: https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/orgasmatron-thomas-stuar... (Plot spoilers, there's not…

While I can totally see toxic managers reading this, and thinking, "Ha! I told them my management style isn't toxic," my takeaways were a bit different. I read it as being about the dangers of overcorrecting when trying…
