precisely, I do occasionally have to switch browsers which is incredibly frustrating but that's more of an indictment of the current state of the web than FF in my mind
Great to see this feature being added to other browsers. I use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers, Temporary Containers, and Containerize extensions to manage my browsing and it's (mostly) a very nice experience. There are some rough edges for certain tasks, but I've not had any desire to go back to containerless browsing for a few years now.
What are you using for cell service? Been wanting to switch to GOS for years, but I've also been really uninterested in having to find a new service provider (currently using fi).
> What time you have in mind, that was really better?
Don't think there's ever been a time in human history that would qualify as good, but I will take better: any time pre-COVID. We have completely gone off the rails since the pandemic.
Deeply sickening that modern society is such that we have to make room in our brains for objectively outlandish connections like these. That a children's cartoon and game about cute little companions has to in any way be involved in the same sentence as the flattening of a city and genocide is just... pure insanity. The world has truly, collectively, lost its fucking mind.
This is the stuff with which I struggle the most. I'm an introvert, and "my journey" sounds so insufferable and egotistical to me, I physically cringe at the thought of having to talk about this kind of stuff.
At the end of the day, I just want a paycheck and to work on at least marginally interesting problems. I'm not interested in having to lie about how passionate I am about what company X is doing, nor am I a salesperson that feels comfortable hyping myself up. It feels so fake it becomes a distraction during the interview, which causes me to freeze up and start floundering.
I work hard and I take pride in what I produce, I have plenty of hobbies and get along with others well, and I thrive in environments where I get to mentor and be mentored by others. These are the soft skills that are actually important for working on a team, but they're the most difficult to convey in the traditional interview format.
I am miserably bad at soft-skills interviews and never get past this round. Been over a year since I've had somebody actually try to assess my technical competency in any real capacity.
I'm also getting maybe 1 INITIAL interview every 3 months right now because of this AI screening stuff and I just haven't felt like re-writing my resume to game them.
when I first read "orbital slingshot" in the title I thought it was a game about doing gravity assists, which I think would be much more interesting and fun
I use 12 columns so I can still do this 1/3 - 2/3 split, but other proportions as well. I tend to have a chat app on the left quarter, browser in the middle half, and a music app on the right quarter. Lots more freedom than only two zones!
Excellent post that actually gets into important details for real-world applications. I'm a huge fan of the design of Litestar.
> I also still think there are a lot of bad use cases for repositories and service layers that people should avoid, but that’s a digression which should probably become its own post
As a huge proponent of the repository pattern, I'll be looking forward to this post.
It's downright awful and I'm having a hard time imagining the author proof reading their own page and thinking "yeah, that's great".
As an aside, I have an article in my blog that has GIFs in it, and they're important for the content, but I'm not a frontend developer by any stretch of the imagination so I'm really at wit's end for how to make it so that the GIFs only play on mouse hover or something else. If anybody reading has some tips, I'd love to hear them. I'm using Zola static site generator, and all I've done is make minor HTML and CSS tweaks, so I really have no idea what I'm doing where it concerns frontend presentation.
Completely agreed. The codebase I work on really badly abused multiple inheritance all over the place. Some of our classes are 5+ layers of inheritance deep.
All the code I've written since joining has used `typing.Protocol` over ABCs, simple dependency injection (i.e., no DI framework), no inheritance anywhere, and of course extensive type annotations... and our average test coverage has gone from around 6% to around 45%.
It's honestly baffling to see how insanely over-complicated most of the Python is that I see out in the wild, especially when you consider that like 90% of the apps out there are just CRUD apps.
I know, I'm just complaining about the mountain of code that does this at my company. And there is no fixing it using the article's approach or any other for that matter due to the sheer scale of the abuse.
Everything in the codebase I maintain at my job is an arbitrary dict and there is no type information anywhere. It wasn't even written that long ago (dataclasses were a thing long before this codebase was written).
There's actually a place where the original authors subclassed dict, and dynamically generate attributes of a "data class" such that it can be used with dotted attribute access syntax or dict access syntax but the `__slots__` attribute of these classes is also generated dynamically so you don't have any auto-complete when trying the dotted attribute access. It's genuinely insane lol.
