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, wh…

"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 fairl…

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 poi…

And in a few million years, the next intelligent life form will examine remains of human texts, and wonder: with all the tools and knowledge they possessed, how could they not have…

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…

It's a tad silly that they made this the default

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 c…

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 ma…

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 reac…

Not sure how to contact you in case of possible bugs/problems, just going to drop a comment here. Was trying a bunch of "define:" queries and noticed something small; This works ht…

I always have been and always will be against the walrus operator. I don't care how much anyone tries me to sell it on its elegance. There's just no _need_. It's already the #1 exa…

Borg is supposedly a bit faster, restic supports a ton of backends https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1875 Also restic does not allow to backup unencrypted. I haven't used bor…

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 …

You say you're human, but how can we know for sure?

This entire thread is surrealistic and giving me Blade Runner vibes.. I love it.

That's a good one. I do the same in code documentation. One line to very briefly summarize what that function/module does, , 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/pip…

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 th…

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 inte…

- 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 bal…

> Admittedly, debugging is not perfect (at least not with my Docker Compose setup in PyCharm) A bit off-topic, but how so? It works fine for me using the setup described here https…

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…
