I agreed with this 100% for a long time. Then I started working on a library at $WORK with dozens of downstream users abusing the hell out of my idiomatic underscore usage, especia…

When you hit types like that type aliases come to the rescue; a type alias combined with a good docstring where the alias is used goes a long way

Literally dealing with this right now. My wife got what appears to be a (very expensive) counterfeit item that is technically non-returnable (not laying down without a fight). Kind…

I don’t think the person quoted is implying that it should be that way, merely pointing out a discovery that builders have made: they _can_ get a symbolic bonus. One can skip build…

I have a similar experience. I was a devoted PhD student working long hours taking on a lot of responsibility. It burned me out, hurting my productivity. I have mixed feelings abou…

The organization and formatting of the single .tex file is such that one could almost read the source alone. Really nice. Also, I had no idea that GitHub did such a good job render…

Been waiting to see what Astral would do first (with regards to product). Seems like a mix of artifactory and conda? artifactory providing a package server and conda trying to fix …

I really like Berkeley Mono and I don’t regret my old purchase, but my Emacs and Terminal configs have been rocking Pragmata Pro for a while now. Looking at the version 2 release n…

OpenMP is great. I’ve done something similar to your second case (thread local objects that are filled in parallel and later combined). In the case of “OpenMP off” (pragmas ignored…

Nope, I don't know how to do it at all- that's why I have to ask AI!

It's something I know how to do after figuring it out myself and discovering the potential sharp edges, so I've made it into a fun game to test the models. I'd argue that it's a gr…

My favorite thing to ask the models designed for programming is: "Using Python write a pure ASGI middleware that intercepts the request body, response headers, and response body, s…

The back door relied on a couple of Linux package management systems (if I’m recalling correctly, it had .deb and .rpm checks, see https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=1712279411178…

Yea there's some nuance here. But one of the beautiful things about Python is the existence of PEPs. One would have to write a PEP to get a new dunder method added to CPython. Duri…

> Keep in mind that you're not meant to invent your own dunder methods. Sometimes you'll see third-party libraries that do invent their own dunder method, but this isn't encouraged…

Really only usable on a personal machine. Having to disable SIP is a non starter for work computers

reminds me a bit of gnuplot.

5ish+ years ago Austin had more of the lower level tech jobs, but definitely not anymore (consistent spectrum now).

Dan Patrick is a terrible human being. Totally unsurprising behavior from him.

I’ve never used one. I’ve declared init.el bankruptcy a few times in those 12 years but I always build from vanilla Emacs- lots of use-package use though.

Cool post! I really don't want to know how much time I've spent configuring Emacs over the last 12 years :P The explosion of great Emacs Lisp packages over the last few years has a…

Also on the housing hunt and have had the same experience. It's really disheartening to tell someone I'm going to give you exactly what you are asking for and have that transaction…

Signature_example.pdf in that repository is NSFW.
