This is good nuance to add to the conversation, thanks. I think in most cases you have to trust some group of parties. As an individual you likely don't have enough time and expert…

A reference (that lays out the statistical arguments) is "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by John Bogle.

What would you rather have for the next 5 years? Why?

Many reasons. Time value of money, competition, maybe even regulation.

Compared to __slots__ (also Python 3.7.4) Using your definition of class X %timeit x.w() 313 ns ± 18.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each) Add __slots__ cl…

TIL... Thanks for highlighting this.

Wow, that's super unlikely. How many commits did the repo have? According to [1] using 3 letters you'd need at least 72 commits to have at least 50% chance to observe a clash. Usin…

It seems like long builds are either (a) necessary or (b) user error. (a) If you have a tree of dependencies and you change the root, you should rebuild everything that depends on …

I think contemporary best practices start with the production environment and work backwards towards creating a development environment as close to the production environment as po…

That does sound convenient. I wonder if the virtualenv aspect is relevant though, i.e. do people really deploy npm apps outside of a container/isolation layer? I imagine if you're …

Yes, async/await. https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#awaitabl...

Whenever I hear people talk about picking up journaling I come away a little annoyed. They publicly describe a habit that they claim is useful. To me that implies that they're sugg…

Took me about 3 weeks to get to proficient and a month or two to be fluent. Mainly playing on a dvorak typing tutor website while watching TV.

There were a bunch of (online) games without a well-defined end popular in the late 90s/early 00s too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCra…

Did you vet your question and its phrasing with your co-workers? What did they say?
