Saphyel··on Ask HN: Why do you make class members private?
> Making variables and methods private means making them inaccessible outside the class and I gave the typical reasons/best practices for that.

The point they are making is in python there's no private method, everything is public. There's only a convention of "avoid using anything starting with "_"

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Should I learn Rust or Go?
If you want to improve your code skills I think Rust is the best way and also you could help to the linux kernel now ^^

If you are looking to do async apps I'd recommend avoid Rust in the short term (the ecosystem about async in Rust is a mess at the moment, hopefully in a few years is in a better position and probably in the core)

Saphyel··on Need some advice, feeling depressed about the direction of our industry
You don't need to marry AWS, there's plenty alternatives out there. I think this is the best you can do because those companies with your help will grow.
Saphyel··on Ask HN: How is Python's OOP is superior vs. Lisp CLOS?
Python's OO does support features like multiple inheritance, which makes it more sophisticated than e.g. Java.

Java forbidden multiple inheritance because of the function overriding or diamond problem.

Also Python OO has a lot to improve.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Does Apple secretly want to prevent gaming on macOS?
Apple only wants your money and they will invest as much money on the marketing team as they can. Their porduts are average or mediocre.

No one remembers the bluetooth not working? The famous Magic Mouse ? iPhone 6 was bending in people's pockets?

The list is far from short

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Should I move to California or Germany as a SWE with 2 small kids?
You have the great opportunity to move to Germany and enjoy their great benefits... Or are you planning to run away from the doctor' bills ??
Saphyel··on Ask HN: SWE who started an organic farm in Europe, where did you go?
My retirement plan was make my own farm in Tabarca, Spain. so I'm pretty much away of everything and if I want to see people I can get a boat to Alicante
Saphyel··on Ask HN: Anyone else quickly losing confidence in Amazon?
I tried to avoid Amazon because they don't need my money and you can find better quality or better deal elsewhere.

Amazon is becoming a Wish also.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Is anyone else glad the crypto market is crashing?
I'm not glad of the people got ruined (if that's the case of anyone?) but I'm pleased that I'll hear less often "buy kkcoins!"
Saphyel··on Ask HN: What should I use instead of Heroku?
I have similar question. I use mainly webapps but I deploy a container image... I'd like to find something similar and free but european if possible?
Saphyel··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
I highly recommend Slimbook everyone I know they tried they loved.

It's built for linux (as others that you mentioned) and they contribute to KDE and others open source projects so as you can expect if you have any issue they will reply to your queries.

On the other hand purism probably is the worst you mentioned.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: MacBooks seems to be the only viable option these days
I'm a Dell XPS 13 user here (with Linux) and I'm very happy I actually bought it twice (2014 and 2021). 0 problems, the laptop is always cold, no noise, everything works fine.

At work I had several MBP in the meantime. All of them with several problems. Docker extremely slow, Bluetooth not working, ports not working, noise like a nuclear reactor, extremely hot like you can actually make a pizza on top also the OS is very strict and hard to tell any other MBP user how to install things or how to configure it feels like a roulette and some of them if you open more than 6 apps it may reboot so good luck if MBP is your only option because you will be screw.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Do people at Google not use Gmail? Why don't they improve it?
I saw that there's a small update on the UI now because of Chat (former hangout, former...) but the point raised by OP is still true. If your signature includes pictures it counts as an attachment and the UI and everything still looks like 2004 when the beta started.

I'm not saying that should change everything ... but in 20 years the only thing different is now there's more integrations with other products but gmail is still the same.

Saphyel··on I'm tired of Google's business products
I have used everything from google (as a typical user and as dev using their GCP) and everything they do "works" I feel like they do something messy and that's it. Kind of let's throw products and the client will figure out and if it isn't successful or we lose our main team we shut down the product.

As long as houses are an investment we will have a bubble.
Saphyel··on Ask HN: Why is there no Linux distro that “just works” like macOS?
I bought a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu it works fine out of the box, no issues in the last 3 months.

I also have a macbook Pro because my workplace forced me to. I had several problems with gpg, docker, Bluetooth, etc.. the list can go on as much as you like tbh. You can google this if you don't believe me. Not sure why people is under the spell of "MBPs just work" unless they use it as a stone it doesn't.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Why do companies issue crappy machines to developers?
I feel you I got a massive macbook pro. I complain everyday because it's so slow and heavy. I only want a small linux laptop that runs perfectly fine docker...
Saphyel··on Poll HN: What operating system do you primarily develop on?
I'm guessing if your product is for mac and windows you'll be force to develop on them, unfortunately..

Otherwise Linux is the only nice way.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: Do any discussion boards that aren't Facebook/Reddit still exist?
Stackoverflow, twitter and discord are my top places where I spend my time online
Saphyel··on Ask HN: As a solo founder, what are the reasons not to use Docker?
what's your reason to use vm? it's more resource consumer, take ages to boot, it's hard/slow to share...
Saphyel··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2020?
it started with 1h or 2h getting 0, literally, it raised to £20 month after several weeks... and here we go.
Saphyel··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2020?
Gaming most of the time but some times I do some personal talks/Q&A. It took me over 2 years to get here, so it's not easy.
Saphyel··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2020?
Twitch, £2k this month. I'm planning to quit my job actually
Saphyel··on Ask HN: Why Poetry did not become a mainstream package manager for Python?
People think package manager as a package downloader only and for that yes, PIP is more than enough.

The main problem for me is pipenv and pip doesn't solve dependencies version issues when you want to upgrade one or several packages. Poetry in the other hand never had an issue.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: What's the fastest tool for basic CRUD?
Look for api platform ( https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform ) otherwise flask rest api is another great option
Saphyel··on Ask HN: How do you handle/maintain local Python environments?
Docker, your dockerfile has all you need and very specific version... why would you waste time on other stuff?
Saphyel··on Ask HN: How do you secure your Mac?
it doesn't matter what you do, Apple harvest and share your data..

My recommendation stay offline as much as you can.

Saphyel··on Ask HN: How do you secure your Mac?
it doesn't matter what you do, Apple controls and share your data.

My recommendation stay offline as much as you can.
