Dotnet professionally and using lemmy.ml socially is hilarious to me and (sincerely) entirely consistent. Makes perfect sense, I just find it funny. (I’m not being sarcastic or attacking you, might not be clear lol)

Well, now, that’s useful, but we shouldn’t fail to mention good ol HCl, muriatic acid colloquially for this purpose, also great for cleaning oil stains from a driveway!
Happens a lot - my (quite small) shop was using NestJS for backends and my boss is way more experienced and wise than me. I unintentionally caused us to switch over to Python, which probably sounds as silly as JS to many, but - we deliver dope shit, on time and on budget 🤷♂️
FastAPI ftw, fight me! Lol jk Django is cool and useful and serves a different need, quite well from what I understand.
Dangit. That’s me too, I just saw your comment before posting one myself 😅
Rubbed me the wrong way too, dude is the exact opposite of AI. He IS clearly vibing in the photo however.
Blech, this is my least favorite kind of testing. I’d much rather have some all-encompassing integration tests even if they’re confusing AF, than the “yep the language still works as advertised” nonsense that this approach often amounts to.
For me it’s less about fear and more about having a limited budget of time and effort to spend on learning things, so CSS and front end generally gets deprioritized. But that’s cuz I’m a back end kinda dev in my soul, lol.
I’ve seen the good points you’ve made elsewhere in this thread - I would indeed react very poorly to willy-nilly back end changes and I think you’re right that people don’t give CSS and visual styling the same degree of professional respect when making changes. And that sucks.
Sounds like a certain lake troll is agitating to improve his lake-dwelling experience, if ya ask me.
So I think I was wrong, but you are too lmao.
10120 is the number of valid game-trees, or valid ~80 move games.
The much smaller number I quoted above, though, IS the valid positions, I was thinking it was actually the trimmed down “truly valid” game-tree sequences.
Isn’t math fun? Limitless ways for us to be wrong!
valid chess positions is in the neighborhood of 1040 to 1044
Lol, big board you’re playing with…
I enjoy and appreciate nature in nearly all its forms. Even mosquitos just tryna live, they’re born required to bite somebody 🤷♂️
Fuck the Canada goose.
Fuck em as a group, fuck their whole flocks, fuck a flying V of Canada geese. Fuck em as an entire grand, branching lineage of this strange fractal miracle we call life, get rid of the Canada goose and our timeline returns to the more harmonious path it had been on before everything stopped making sense.
Canada is cool, fuck that goose tho.
Sounds like Copilot pulled their programming socks WAY UP that day
This is hilariously autistic sounding for a machine.
That’s a useful way to look at it, as verbose / extended documentation (amounts to exhaustive usage examples, if you’ve got thorough tests).
I don’t have a metric that’s quick to relate, but for me the…attractiveness or value in testing relates heavily to:
->
more tests->
more testsBoth of these are influenced by your description of tests as docs. Onboarding new engineers is way, way easier with thorough tests, for the reasons you’ve mentioned. Plus it reduces that “gun shy” factor about making changes in a new codebase.
But it’s not always better. I’ve been writing less (few, honestly) the last year or so, sadly.
This should be the standard :)
Someone was posting a week or two ago having done something kinda like that. Something to do with magic circles or similar, looked rad.
Yeah I’ve been hearing about it and meaning to dive in. Been learning some infra stuff lately though.
Any particularly strong selling points you want to convey?
Yeah, not trying to dunk on other commenter, but these don’t sound like complaints I experience with Python at all. Setting up the environment is a breeze with venv
, package installation couldn’t be easier with basic pip
, and I really like having a diverse ecosystem of multiple (often high quality) approaches to solving similar problems.
I think I agree with you, and I also think you probably know better than me, but - Python couldn’t become what Python became without doing this exact thing very deliberately, bordering on obnoxious at times. Fundamentals or “initial state” define the characteristic strengths and weaknesses for a language, but what to add and what not to, as well as “why” and “how”, over time determine the true shape and user experience (lacking a better word there) of a language.
Despite its reputation, in my view Python has always been far more opinionated about how to do things than most give it credit for.
