1 - based off of my experiences both using and maintaining various infra at the University of Washington the problem is not finding talent to write software, it's the part that com…

Attrs would not replace your record array. IIRC you can supply slots so it might be useful for converting raw data into your numpy types, but I suspect you'd find the overhead in f…

It's interesting to me that dataclasses seemed to be a slimmed down attrs but in practice I find it replaces namedtuple not attrs For my use the key is how easily you can add simpl…

Not OP but my experience is - R packages are much more likely to include compilation of C libraries, which can cause grief if you're not experienced enough to install specific libs…

They're supposed to be tuned but often aren't, as many motorcyclists can attest to Further the muni often lacks resources to fix this in a timely manner after reporting. In some ca…

dhcp. Boring, simple, and insufficient for professional work imo. Not a problem for a largely static home network At work "the ricoh guy" manages the printers. You can access them …

> know how to change their IP address My first job was as a sys admin, and I was explicitly told that they hired me because my eyes didn't glaze over when the interview covered the…

Certainly my cursive is harder to read. Growing up in US public schools cursive was mandatory in ~5th grade in my district. Then shortly after (6th grade? 7th?) it became optional …

For a long while I ran testing and had zero issues. Warning: if you're used to PPA life in Ubuntu Debian doesn't offer an equivalent that I'm aware of. EDIT sibling comments indica…

mysql, psql etc. let you issue sql from the command line I don't do much sql in bash scripts but I do keep some wrapper scripts that let me run queries from stdin to databases in m…

Handoff if I can find takers documenting if I can't If that runs dry I find 1-off things to fix or improve that either I personally care about or that a customer I will miss cares …

I use origin for the limited set of exclusives (sim city, mass effect3) and consider it the poster child of what not to do Admittedly my usage is low. However twice I have encounte…

A variety of workplaces have bureaucracy in place to require additional justification beyond manager and even manager + skip level approval. Whatever your thoughts on the suitabili…

See "the high cost of free parking" for a complete answer Heavily oversimplified, back when cars first became available to the middle class city politicians had a rude awakening wh…

I use it, and have a mb with touch bar. Using solely the laptop keyboard was fine. Transitioning between the laptop keyboard and an external was not. I ended up adding a binding fo…

Exactly this. Configure two log handlers - one sending data to ES and another to disk. Alternatively, give the ops team what they want (more information) and then generate log file…

Try raw cookie dough. Hardly healthy, but far less volume to consume

Keep in mind there are a LOT of apps deployed on systems with SELinux with few, if any, tests Further, the divide between ops and developers in many cases leaves this as an unsolva…

For me it was getting enough experience with the various tools and tooling to learn the right tool for each job. I started around '08 on a Django-based stack with really only unive…

The Seattle area already has decided bus lanes (with non - bus right turns). Basically, at-grade transportation that interacts with traffic fails during the peak periods of travel,…

C and Python APIs of CPython are really just difference faces of the same thing. Due to the internal use of tuples some of the Python behavior is governed by related C behavior. Fo…

The explanation is alright, but would have really benefited from a brief overview of tuple use in the C API.

> It's much better to just know that your packages are either global or local and no in-betweens. The database driver and scipy are installed globally. Everything else is local to …
