I used to work for one big company. Every newly hired design director desperately wanted to create a new design for the corporate portal because it would add a new line to his resume.

So I've decided to give it a try. Open installation instructions and went thru "easy install with uvx" / "get and run our sgell script" until get "pip install ty". I do not want use other tools so I started it in pet project directory as "ty check". Is shows me progressbar and "98/99 files" then hang. I restarted it and it hung on "68/99" and started using 100% of cpu core. I waited for 15 min and killed it. Try to get more information about current file but there is no verbose mode but colorful "ty --help" output. Lets wait for a year then try again.

Edit: +"then try again"

There are two 40-floors buildings nearby to each other in Tbilisi, Georgia, that are missing on Google Maps. All businesses have to put POI just "somewhere". One man from Google told me that there are staff members responsible for Georgia maps but they are chilling :)

JetBrains products had colorful and useful pictograms on menu items and panels. One day they replaced them by B&W versions and it was fail. Few years later they introduced purple icons. For promoting some internal AI companion.

There's a simple solution: anyone who posts AI-generated content can label it as "AI-generated" and avoid misleading people.

It looks like false without sources.

Caching some API call because it is expensive and use cached data many months later because of bash suggestion :(

A month ago, I opened an old PDF file on MacOS Monterey and found that Preview couldn't display the images in it. Chrome browser on Monterey shows inlined images. I've read this PDF on Windows for years. For Monterey I had to convert it with some online converter in order to watch inlined images.

My favorite "the worst PDF reader" is MacOS Preview.

So What's The Solution?

... 3. allow user to feed application with fake data for every requested permission, e.g. false geoposition, dummy random generated address book etc.

It will be nice to add "registration required to read" in every link from such sites.

Immediately remember this one: https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-study-explains-laws-incomprehe...

Will you decrease the usage counter if the software is not working properly and the user is forced to use the Undo command?

"M32" typo issues (x3) are unfixed for 9 months and make my eyes twitch.

The author of the article asked the same question in his personal blog in Telegram a year and a half ago [1], and received in response exactly the same example with maven. Probably, to build a personal brand and increase visibility, he needs to ask the same thing many times in different places.

Actually I pay for JetBrains product and report bugs to support. When subscription ends I have right to use version with bugs. It looks unfair to me.

"billions of influencers"

Just use

  if not API_KEY:
    sys.exit("Missing YOUTUBE_API_KEY.")

It will print message to sys.stderr and do system exit with code 1.

P.S. exit() is just an alias to sys.exit(), I prefer longer form.

pow(x,e,mod) was the reason I switched from Perl to Python :)

I remember a wave of $1 iPhone charging cables on Amazon! (with expensive delivery cost :)

I once worked for a vendor company that sold a workstation: a computer with Linux and full-fledged Oracle server with the appropriate license and a small application written in PL/SQL.

When I suggested rewriting everything in Python, the CEO explained that on the client side, this solution was bought by MBA graduates who only knew Oracle, and everything else would be suspicious to them.

As a result, clients bought a cheaper solution from competitors - Windows and a small application written in C++.

Since a person cannot look at 1000 tabs at the same time, most of the tabs can be frozen. I'm writing to you from Firefox which has 826 tabs right now.

It looks like you haven't read the text on the link:

"The Board of Directors plans to hire several Agile Analyticistis, Working Culture Ambassador Researchers, Import-Export-Integrator-Optimizer Masters and Kanban Disruptors in order to help them investigate the unexpected outcome."

There is no trust in the words “we tested this internally.”

Apple employees can rate it as an old project among themselves, while it is more convenient for everyone else to rate the product from the moment of publication.

I've seen this approach in 100- startup and 10K+ enterprise: managers collect and store ideas in their private places. This quickly turns into job security and spoils the work process.

Friend of mine got link to this thread and failed to figure out that there is a link under thread name :(

Underline will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

The whole article looks like a misunderstanding to me. The author writes about a trade-off between memory and processor, although in his example both memory (on disk and in RAM) and processor are wasted (executing all IF instructions in turn).

It is also strange that the author is trying to generate code in assembly language, which he does not know very well, because there is a DIV/IDIV instruction.

Which is pretty useful - I will get malformed JSON error as earlier as possible.

P.S. `some.get("A", {})["B"]` is bad programming habit because there might be a list on `some["A"]`
