  • But use type annotations everywhere and make sure your code is always checker clean (with checkin or PR CI hooks). And don't turn off any lint checks through laziness, e.g. docstring checks. Even for a solo dev it's always worth having everything typed, checker clean, and docstrings (even if they only effectively say "this thing really is what you'd assume"). It all saves time and effort in the long and even medium term.

    I've worked on serious large scale Python projects and frankly it's been very pleasant and productive, but only with the above conditions.

  • And yet there's a big push to rename git "master" branches, which have no slave connotations and are more analogous to master recordings.

    Its not like I'll fight it, but it's stupid.

  • You do? Because I don't. There is nothing racist about the concept of master. Is a masterpiece racist? Are master tapes, Are post-graduate degrees racist? We may as well declare "work" insensitive because slaves had to work.

    Don't get me wrong, there are many terms we should adjust. I just can't see how "master" is one of them.

  • They work better than cars do. Not long ago on my bike commute in a blizzard I had to keep getting off to help get stuck cars moving again, then if happily ride off...

    And handling the cold is easier when riding than walking to and waiting for trains and buses because you generate your own heat. People ski in those conditions. It's just a matter of the right clothes and equipment and not being soft as fuck.

  • I'm just an emacs ... enjoyer (...?) and I just don't understand the post. I'm pretty sure buffers here refer to something different from emacs buffers as they're completely unrelated to clipboards. Then from a quick scan of the plug-in mentioned it seems to mimic the clipboard ring emacs has had for many decades (always?).

    Basically I have no idea what's going on here.

  • It varies regionally. While "you're welcome" is not at all unusual in the UK, it's nowhere near as expected and standard as it is in the US.

    I often hear "not at all" as a response, just like "de nada". It's also common in the UK not to respond at all, as the thanks are expected.

  • Huh, to me, YW is much more gracious and positive that you're happy to do it, while NP is more like "it was a tolerable burden".

    Though for paid service I don't like expected faux enthusiasm. I think "of course" is classy and not demeaning then, meaning "it's what I'm here for".
