For those who don't know the story: it's ironic because Jefferson died first.

In DC, they're storing the combined runoff+sewage until it can be treated: https://dcist.com/story/23/09/18/new-anacostia-river-tunnel-...

As expensive as this project is, separating the storm drains from the sewage lines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_sewer) in an existing system is much more costly.

That’s actually the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, on 14th St. SW, which is indeed worth visiting. They print the paper bills (among other things). The U.S. Mint produces the coins. I think only the Philadelphia Mint still mints coins, but it’s also worth visiting.

While I agree, pip has very strong backward compatibility requirements. I'm not sure why, maybe because people tend to upgrade it without considering the consequences.

You can (and should!) tell pip not to do this with '--only-binary=:all:'. Building from source is a lousy default.

For what it’s worth, I was in the “loved it” camp.

(I’m the author of dataclasses, and I owe an immeasurable debt to Hynek).

And for a similar idea in Python see https://peps.python.org/pep-0750/

I think you're saying that it takes fewer characters to define a namedtuple. If you're interested in less typing, There's also dataclasses.make_dataclass:

   >>> Point = dataclasses.make_dataclass("Point", ["x", "y", "z"])
   >>> Point(1, 2, 3)
   Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)

This is incorrect. The returned integer is a regular Python object, not some "unboxed" integer value.

What you're seeing here is an optimization about integers, not about pass by value. CPython only does this for small integers:

  $ python -c "print(int('3') is int('3'))"
  True
  $ python -c "print(int('300') is int('300'))"
  False

Other implementations make different choices.

I’ve worked at places where subverting firewall rules like this would get you fired. I now refer to such situations where I’m forced to twiddle my thumbs while no work gets done as “letting the process work”.

Thank you for the kind words.

This is spelled out in the PEP (I’m the author). There isn’t one “portion” (a term defined in the PEP) to own that file. And it’s also not a requirement that all portions be installed in the same directory. I’m sorry you feel this was lazy, it was a lot of work spanning multiple attempts over multiple years.

I have not used chezmoi, thanks for the pointer. From the comparison chart it looks similar to yadm. It looks like go vs. bash is the biggest difference. It’s occasionally handy to debug yadm’s bash script, although it’s been years since I had to do so. I’ll take a deeper look.

For managing config files I use yadm https://yadm.io/, which I learned of on HN.

Among other great features, it lets me tailor settings per OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) and per client. And my settings are all in git, so they’re easy to save and copy around, and they’re all in one place, not dependent on each tool to know how to save their settings on some server.

See my comment and the linked email at https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses?tab=readme-ov-file... for dataclasses and 3.6. I think it's still true.

ericvsmith

That’s not actually true. While dataclasses to most of its inspiration from attrs, there are many features of attrs that were deliberately not implemented in dataclasses, just so it could “fit” in the stdlib.

Or maybe you mean the backport of dataclasses to 3.6 that is available on PyPI? That actually came after dataclasses was added to 3.7.

Source: I wrote dataclasses.

I like to think of it like mad cow: that’s what you get when you feed animals to animals. Same with AI.

BRIEF by UnderWare! I loved that editor. I particularly liked the “go to this line number, but use the line number before unsaved edits”. This let you compile a file, get the error log, then start making edits; but the line numbers in the error log were still useful.

D’oh! Of course you’re correct. I skipped over “any”, and focused on “patch”. Sorry about that.
