Python v34.01 is natively supporting porn!

My take on IO bound thread performance in #Perl and #Python.

#Python developers, please.

I am BEGGING you.

PLEASE, do not ever automatically "fix" a problem by invoking pip. Give me an error message and suggest a command to me, if you think that command is appropriate.

I cannot overstate how badly this well-meaning but extremely poorly-implemented idea goes wrong when it does go wrong.

For 2024, I solved Advent of Code in 25 different languages. Was a fun project, sometimes a bit (very) painful (*glances at Erlang and Zig*).

Code (bottom of post) and summary for each language:

Keep in mind that I used most of these language for a few hours tops, so my judgement is very much subjective.

What's your favourite of the bunch?

@futurebird Absolutely agree - a project I need to get back to working on and get to a github-able state: self generated "stateful identity tokens" ('idens') which can be used indefinitely as a proof of continuity/identity publicly everywhere - so the individual may be human or not, but we know in any context where they publish or interact that they are still "them".

I need to start re-reading my code and figure out how complete/ugly where I left off is.

SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS...

@programming

After 12 months of managing bugs developers A, B, and C changed their approach.

Whose change is an improvement❓ What's your answer❓

Boosts appreciated! :boost_no: 🙂

More generally, the problem is domain independent.

Are you using #Python 3.11 yet? It's been out for two years! Maybe this will entice you: better error messages!

Anyone have recommendations for a guide to debugging and unit testing in Python?

All of my code learning in multiple languages has been very ad-hoc, and testing is a weak point that I'd like to work on.

Hey folks, just got laid off after 4 years with my employer.

I’m a 25y veteran python developer (web, backend, and data processing) with many years of experience working remotely for companies in the US and Europe.

I have the most experience working with web, backend and data systems, and am also be drawn to opportunities to improve internal tooling and web services that give coworkers the information and capabilities to do their thing better.

I think the thing I find most frustrating about programming languages is that there is no standard way to refer to the length of an array.

Python, go: len(array)
Java, JavaScript: array.length
Rust: array.len()
C++: array.size()
C#: array.Length
PHP: count($array)
Perl: scalar(@array) (lmao)
Swift: array.count
Kotlin: array.size

Like, seriously? Can't we agree on just this one thing???

y’all have no excuse now for not using #python 😅
