IIRC, if you put a trailing comma on the last entry, the formatter will keep multiline dicts multiline.

It’s not the same thing. He is allowed to give them away and is doing so. If Mora is in breach of contract, maybe a better remedy for the distributor would be monetary damages but …

Why would you use a PPO? The average SWE can be on an HMO. HMO's are fine. I have never once regretted choosing an HMO. Additionally, you're using the average software engineer sal…

This doesn't have that much to do with the genetic heritability of intelligence, which is a measurement in proportion to environmental variability. Civilizations with farming, meta…

Where are you getting 20% from? That's not what Plomin is saying in what you are replying to. Are you confusing the fraction of GWAS estimate heritability out of total heritability…

Although it's possible for someone with type 1 to have an A1C below 6%, it's very difficult. I've known a few people like that, and they are all super users. It's also going to dep…

You can die on the order of hours to days not of high blood sugar per se, but of the low insulin causing diabetic ketoacidosis parent comment mentions. It would be odd for a faulty…

My experience has been there is no correlation between skill at teaching and skill at research; maybe the two are even anti-correlated. To some extent, this is an artifact of the s…

Making invalid states unrepresentable may be a great idea or terrible idea depending on what you are doing. My experience is all in scientific simulation, data analysis, and embedd…

I knew some who were bad at math. Asian immigrant test scores on math are ~1/2-1 standard deviation higher than white Americans. That’s noticeable comparing groups of people but st…

Fair point! That's a great technical success; I didn't realize Arm was British. If the main failure of British companies is that they don't have U.S. company market caps, it seems …

Also, being far enough from Europe that a huge amount of talent decided the U.S. was a better bet for getting away from the Nazis. And then taking a large number of former Nazi sci…

That's a hard one because it depends on what sort of details you let into types and maybe even on the specific type T. Not saying what I'm asking for is easy! Units and shape would…

I'd be happy for just ranges on floats being quick and easy to specify even if the checking is at runtime (which it seems like it almost will have to be). I can imagine how to atta…

At work, I find type hints useful as basically enforced documentation and as a weak sort of test, but few type systems offer decent basic support for the sort of things you would n…

I use both DuckDB and SQLite at work. SQLite is better when the database gets lots of little writes, when the database is going to be stored long term as the primary source of trut…

Agreed. I work in medical device engineering, and >50% of our time relates to simulation in some way. A big part of our responsibilities is designing, implementing, or reimplementi…

Jupyter notebooks can be executed roughly like scripts by papermill. You can also save a .py version of the notebook without outputs using jupytext. We use these packages together …

Barring it being a joke, the first question is unhelpful and likely a jerk move. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The second question seems like the type of feedback that would u…

Same here, interacting with people makes my performance on all sorts of mental tasks drop much faster. 5-6 hours of meetings, and worst case I don't want to do anything else, best …

Had the same thought. The naming synergy is perfect.

The link you posted says that the original rat park researcher's own graduate student was unable to replicate the original experiment when he tried reducing the confounds. That see…

Dose dependence is still a thing for long term exposure. There’s a lot of crap in urine. Knowing someone is pissing something doesn’t mean it’s toxic. We already know they’re expos…

No. I did watch the video before I posted. Thus the last sentence of my first post about drinking it (or not) being bullshitting in both directions. You are the one not reading or …

Alcohol has cumulative effects too. The long term effects are still dose dependent. My point is you can’t just eyeball it by being like “well that guy bullshitted then refused to d…
