Did they hired software developers to make these bike racks (and sheds)? https://x.com/Wash_cycle/status/1227814561098719232

A developer who knows _______ is at an advantage at getting up to speed with Python.

Wow, Windows 3.1 is so fast now. Just had to wait a few years and see it cross compiled to Javascript https://www.pcjs.org/disks/pcx86/windows/3.10/

*different from regular code*

We got spell check & grammar check, I'm ready for "wrong choice of word" check. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1227276695012544516

Does anyone know of a good linter for #python unit test source code? running pylint on the unittests themselves gives me a lot of useless advice-- unit test code is just so different from regular tests. (For example, all the unit tests get flagged as uncalled/dead code)

META: shoot.

I hit the 5001 account limit again. Next comes the cage match, 5001 friends enter, only 5001 - Δ friends will remain.

I'm probably going to have to write a python script to figure out which accounts are dead/low value.

So... Elasticsearch clusters on AWS sometimes get stuck in "Processing" and all you can do is terminate the cluster and rebuild from scratch. Not often, but I've seen it once now.

Not sure this is where the linter wanted me to go

Car probs: Wife puts bag in trunk & closes it. It has the car keys, car lose connection to key and locks the car. Can't use wife's phone to open car because session expired. Can't login to lastpass because I left my phone at home. 5 minutes pass, car regains signal & opens doors.

Dates in the manual: Something that has a year, month, day.
Dates in the real world: something that is may or may not exist, might be a year, or might be a year, month or day. Oh, please filter and sort these in a way that makes sense.

Was code review really just in-office, crowd sourced manual linting and reformatting? In other words, if all the compiler warnings, lint messages had been worked & an autoformatter run-- would there be anything left to talk about?

unit tests don't pass. ImportError - can't find module
hmmm..

Change test_foo.py to test_z_foo.py. Ha! Tests now pass.

(tests executed in alphabetical order, chdir state was been maintained from unit test to unit test)

I gotta post my predictions so that I appear prescient if it turns out right.

Bernie Sanders wins the nomination. Warren is Vice. Bernie Sanders wins the Electoral college solely on health insurance promises in rustbelt states. Dies of a heart attack in the first 100 days.

imho, linters should have 2 modes:
- gripes about immediately fixable things
- gripes about size/complexity

The later can't be dealt with on every build- reducing the cyclomatic complexity means changing maybe 50-100 lines of code, a huge & potentially dangerous refactor.

So many people got mugged by rental brokers in NYC. I think I got mugged twice and never found a place to rent. If my experience was typical, then it's mostly fraud and selling something they can't deliver on.

The betting markets on "Trump Out" moved much more in the past for other reasons than impeachment (hardly visible in the chart)-- the gamblers must think it is more likely he'll die of flu than leave by other means.

Ah, an informed take on the Iowa Caucus app. The team described should have said: "We can't do this" or at least on go-live date said: "No, go to plan B and do it like you did last year" https://x.com/rabble/status/1224820389387223041

Ah, now the predictions shift to something I know about. I predict in Iowa
- no unit tests
- no linting
- no type annotations
- no build script
- too few specialists on the dev team
- too little money
- timeline too short
- no discipline from client to rein in complexity or scope

Why worry only about 23&me when Twitter feeds have been successfully used to ID who has which disease (aka preexisting condition), etc https://twitter.com/szul/status/1224331900778696704

IDEAEDI: A date system where only palindromes are legal dates, except 1x every 900 years.

I probably won't get hired at Pew Research, because I wouldn't stop making pew-pew-pew jokes. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1224052530675638273/photo/1
