    To be honest it just seems a bit like playing with words. Of course you can use "success" in sentences where it loses the meaning intended in the current context, but it seems clea…

    When not too constrained by size and particularly for prototyping, I tend to use short descriptive names that are not too hard to decode. For example you could use Cby* for bypass …

    I've been using enforce for this purpose ( https://github.com/RussBaz/enforce ). It provides decorators that enable type checking where wanted. This gives the advantage of migratin…

    Also being in France, I find that the most reliable and practical way to get something shipped is to use a "point relai" (when delivery at work is out of the picture because of com…
