Well, in that case, Google Maps would wake up and suggest an alternative route.

The point I'm trying to make is that Google Maps (actually, all navigators) is biased towards shutting the brain down and just focusing on next turn. It could do much better in describing the overall route, and even letting you drive by yourselves parts of the route you already know -- it can still tell you to do alternates routes if there's traffic though.

Obviously the workaround is to skim the overall route and decide by yourself what to do, whether to follow directions or not on certain parts. This is what I always do -- just because I want to make sure that I still know my way without a navigator and it's also a good way to learn new parts of the city (or new cities) that you don't know. At the same time, Google Maps isn't really helping on this.
What they are supposed to do is to set up their system so this problem does not exist.

If you need identity data than verify identity. Most companies dont and then they should not store it.

The bigger the team, the more distributed the engineers and the bigger the codebase, the more productivity is lost by using scripting languages. I find it infuriating because it is so frustrating and it definitely does not feel productive.

If you just want to talk about how computationally tractable it is, the math is trivial. Optimize one base pair at a time. Now it's an O(4) problem repeated over a billion generations, most of which are bacteria where a generation is measured in minutes.

In practice the changes happening in each generation are all sorts of different rearrangements, but that's different from proving the basic and obvious fact that when you have multiple steps you don't have to spontaneously create the entire solution at once.

Bogosort will never ever sort a deck of cards. Yet it takes mere minutes to sort a deck of cards with only the most basic of greater/less comparisons. Even if your comparisons are randomized, and only give you the right answer 60% of the time, you can still end up with a sorted-enough deck quite rapidly.

(Why sorted-enough? Remember that reaching 'human' doesn't require any exact setup of genes, every single person has a different genome. It just has to get into a certain range.)

Most IDEs have a shortcut to format code.

In over 12 years, as mostly a C# developer, I've only seen one person not use the standard indentation style and this was because he was a junior who didn't know that you could format the code with a shortcut.

That's funny, Poetry's README [1] claims exactly the opposite (that it resolves dependencies better than pipenv). And looking at the git history, that section of the README is 2 years old, so that claim was made when you experimented.

Was the problem with dependency resolution you had similar to what Poetry describes in it README? Or are there other problems the README fails to mention?

The description they make got me interested, but up to now all alternatives I tried to build moderately complex python projects failed to deliver on their promises, so definitely interested in what you have to say.

hello there, UK here.

Because unfamiliarity breeds contempt.

One of the successes of london is that unlike paris they didn't eject all the poor people to the outskirts in the 1930-70s. this means that even opposite the houses of parliament, there is social housing.

Yes there are sink estates, but they are not whole boroughs (well, kinda, there are stressed areas.)

yes, we still have problems. The police still stop black people because they are "suspicious" (alas we've recently gone backwards)

But they are not stopped because they are in the "wrong area" the whole "Trayvon Martin" effect just doesn't really apply.

TL;DR:

Segregation increases problems, regardless of it being by choice, or by an act of government (ala rhodesia/south africa) unless you socialise with the "other" you are going to continually live in fear/contempt
> It's not necessarily triggered by the government. Chinese are very patriotic, if not nationalistic, and the power of social media does the rest.

I can relate.

I have seen people who are very critical of the government but at the same time circulate anti-West materials all the time.
I view wisdom as "ability to choose goals" while intelligence is "ability to achieve goals".

Examples: It is unwise to prioritize short term if doing so hurts so in the long term. It is wise to work less if you don't use the extra money for anything important.
> as a limitation of our eyes and visual processing circuitry.

If so, then why not put the limit on line length without trailing whitespace? Because it makes no sense that with indentation I should lose available characters.

> There is a reason why newspapers and well laid-out websites don't have 300 char width lines.

Yes, and the reason is, print and transportation are expensive, so newspapers found a way to cram as much text as possible in as few pages as possible. You don't see them replicating this style on-line, and neither you see it in magazines that are priced well above their production & distribution costs.

The reason "well laid-out websites" don't have 300 char width lines is because web development is one large cargo culting fest of design. 300 may be a bit much due to actual physical length, but your comment has 200+ on my machine and reads just fine.

I don't buy these "80 chars / short lines and ridiculous font sizes are optimal for the eyes" arguments. They fly in the face of my daily experience.
Are mosques being closed down?
Right, but when you're at that point in performance considerations you already have a team of specialists working on multiple angles in performance.

And precisely, for ML code all python libraries run extremely optimized natively compiled code. The language overhead is a minimal consideration. And for business domain code language performance is rarely the limiting factor.
Plus the amount of stuff that gets written in Python or JavaScript.

If it is for the high level stuff, they could give Vala some love instead.

I could also imagine that having a breaker in the house for a high amperage circuit which is regularly toggled-off is just a good safety precaution against the neighbors stealing your power!
There is a very useful application for blockchain: Leverage banks desire to stay current and not loose out in the next wave of change in order to sell them platforms which generate far more interesting press releases than a regular database would..

I confused 'whitebox' and those switches based on x86-based hardware. Isn't the price differentiation also due to a reduced feature set?
I have been a Python guy for 10 years now switching from another profession - I was a mechanical engineer. I tried to learn other languages like Java ,C and was partially successful too. But I don't remember creating anything useful in those languages.

Everything was so verbose that I got drowned in the syntax rather than the logic behind the program. For me, Python signifies ease of development and fast iterations and as such is suited for any young developer.
Fair. And if the left extended their "circle of caring" beyond the intersectionality hierarchy to include everyone who suffers we could stop wasting time fighting each other and work together for the betterment of all.

> If Python is so great how come it can't even express a decent data structure that it needs?

Why is this a requirement of a "great" language? By not requiring a language to be self-hosting, you are adding more degrees of freedom to your language's design, so I could even see an argument that writing it in C is an improvement. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I don't see why cpython written in C implies it is a bad language. Maybe you could elucidate your thinking?

This makes sense to me, as a dev from India who's currently learning a variety of technologies.

I could never afford college, so I took it upon myself to learn whatever I wanted from the Internet. It is astounding how rich the resources for CS are, if you know where to look on the web.

Going back to the topic at hand, I often find myself being defensive and supportive of stacks I use and learnt about. When I dig deeper, I find myself at a lack of words, regarding why I like React or Python. It mostly boils down to "I like x because I know x". I often don't have reasons backed by technical knowledge.

Many times I've not given a certain language/stack a chance just because I heard/read one guy write something negative about it online.

I see my error and will try not to be blindly biased.
I can't find a good comparison to Conda - is the main distinction simply that Poetry uses the official repos?

For people working outside of scientific Python: conda is a package and env manager maintained by a private company that's become the go-to because it's really good at handling binary dependencies.

I'll take a framework that has worked effectively for a decade without significant changes where I can use all my accumulated experience to get things done over the random musings and experimentation of the half-baked JS libraries where you're stuck for hours solving relatively trivial issues that I have never had to think about in DRF because DRF just works and is backed by some of the most experienced people in API architecture in the industry.

When you think about and iterate judiciously in a problem domain over a decade instead of trying something different every day to see what sticks, you'll see you can get remarkably far.

Not really. Almost everyone in the world is producing more than they get payed. The only way to be guaranteed a job is to provide a better productivity/wage ratio than enough of your competitors. Depending on your profession, your competition might be smaller (eg highly specialized mechanics in the area) or huge (eg all low-skilled factory workers in the world).
I think this shows a significant disconnect between the ostensibly-wealthy managers that cooked up this genius marketing ploy and their customers: if the managers want an intercontinental flight, they just book it at whatever the current price is, because £600 is chump change for them and does not motivate them to invest time into looking for deals. It thus naturally never occurred to them that anyone would even think about buying the cheapest qualifying vacuum, even though they don't need one at all, just to get an awesome deal on flight tickets - basically it's flight ticket buying for £120 with the catch that you must dispose of a cheap vacuum. Anyone to whom those £600 worth of flights appear as a considerable value will immediately come to this conclusion, whereas if £600 means nothing to you, you'd never even think about putting up with the hassle.
I dont know about F# and ocaml, but haskell's numerical libraries really pale compared to numpy.
You’re spot on… As someone who uses Node/JS for most of my projects, I was actually surprised at how easy math is in python. I was given a homework assignment with the ability to use whatever language I wanted, so I picked JS. After hours wasted trying to do math with large numbers, I switched to python because others seemed to have success with it. Needless to say, I finished the assignment an hour or so after that. (Note, I would still use Node over python for an API any day of the week, personal preference)
I personally don't see anything particular in this philosophy - the MATE project (arbitrary sample) has the same attitude. I guess it all comes down to old-school DEs just sticking to the old metaphor.
Plenty of wiggle room with "normal", "so common to the industry", "usually", etc. Also keep in mind - at most companies, bootcamp grads often join at a lower/different job title than those with a Bachelors in CS.
This is very much a personal reaction, but it sounds charming as written!
I have no issue with the study. Seems plausible. I do have an issue with, for example, the idea that a diversity program at a company constitutes a mode of social exclusion rather than an attempt to redress historical exclusion. But I seem to find myself standing in a room full of people that take it as self-evident that men are oppressed.
I know it's only a one off anecdote but two developers in my team who previously didn't know python used it for a small time-critical project and it was a brilliant success.
Steven Pinker pitches a convincing theory of how/why young men self-radicalize due to social exclusion that had me nodding along from my own personal experience. Made total sense and described exactly how I once was tempted to partake when I was younger.

I had no idea it was so controversial. Every time I've seen coverage of Pinker, his statements are completely taken out of context and he's spun as some sort of alt-right apologist. These are conversations we need to have.

(I first saw him talk about it in his sit-down with Sam Harris.)
Your comment is perfect example. You are willing to protect one group of minorities, but do not want to find out root cause why some members from majority are failing.
The Britain that post Brexit will be in desperate need of a trade deal, will be offered a really really bad one by the US that will never be accepted by those that actually voted for Brexit, so those same people will go shopping around for anyone that can possibly replace the EU and US, at the very least if only to give them leverage against the US?

I don't think Britain can afford to be pissing off China right now.

PEP 479 might be what GP was referring to:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/

PEP 479 is specifically related to generators:

> If a StopIteration is about to bubble out of a generator frame, it is replaced with RuntimeError, which causes the next() call (which invoked the generator) to fail, passing that exception out. From then on it's just like any old exception.
Thanks for posting. I've wondered if it's just me or does anyone else want to leave software engineering because of Python's dominance. There's no arguing against it either because as this thread shows, "I like it for my use case, look at these libraries that let you get X and Y done SOOOO easy, so it must be great for everything."
My impression of working closely with data-scientists is that what you describe comes more from experience, than from purely theoretical knowledge of the math behind. Ideally it's both, but if having to choose, I'd rather bet on someone who did it already a dozen times and knows what to expect.

I don't understand what you're reacting to. The top comment (and my comments) are reactions of complete empathy and relatability.
For the record, it is not like car repair is made "easy" by the manufacturers, I have seen over the years quite a few cases where the "original" (issued by manufacturer only to official dealers) ODB2 connected software was needed to reset an alarm on the car computer.

It may be that the "third party" program missed at the time the particular feature (AFAIK it is all revolving about reverse engineering the "original" and that later releases had it.

And another "trend" in the car world is that of only selling as spare "non-serviceable assemblies", and regularly some smart guy manages to find out that the assembly is actually serviceable and that replacing (say) a small o-ring or gasket and/or with a couple solderings an used assembly can be reconditioned and work again for years at a fraction of the cost.

A good example is the "navigating wheel" on many BMW's, dealers will tell you that it is a €300-400 job to replace it, whilst 99% of the time is half an hour top including disassembling it, soldering a couple broken tin joints and re-assembling it.
For those unaware: Haskell has a REPL (ghci), and you can make files more script-like with the (currently most popular) build tool stack[0] if you include:
