@milan_milanovic You have to have the prereqs down of having a background in distributed systems for this or you’re drawing dead from my experience

@BalesBets @catehall I suspect the status quo bias causes more damage than risk seeking strategies do. I’m guilty to this phenomenon myself.

@therosieum Agree, it’s very common. I think it often develops in corporate culture, and then follows the person into other pursuits. Once adopted, seems uncommon for someone to break it.

@elonmusk I visited the TSMC manufacturing plant this year, and their narrative was they cannot be dethroned.

@howdoibuildthis @thiccyth0t Glad you liked it! I am still working on shifting from indexing highly just on the mean outcome ($ev) of events, to also giving proper consideration to the median outcome, case by case

@mathsppblog @s_gruppetta you guys are all-stars. I found reading Rodrigo’s “little book of itertools” followed by Stephen’s “the itertools series (with Yteria)” articles to be a super effective (and complementary) learning path. Thx!

@treyhunner I find writing lots of asserts w/ LBYL to often require too much up front effort to justify what it serves. Only thing I like about this style is that they are silent when they work, at least. I prefer to just use try/except everywhere with EAFP.

now that the cost of intelligence has crashed, focus on agency

@EcZachly Is the top table on the right side the signal table?

@pawjast Does writing apps with the GUI libraries lean heavily on writing in an OOP style?

[Chris Wehner @ChrisWehnerPLO]

@pawjast What main things should we consider when deciding whether to build a GUI app vs a browser-app?

[Chris Wehner @ChrisWehnerPLO]

@driscollis @pawjast So when a library is “built on top of” another library, it is importing some pieces of, but not the entirety of, the parent library?

[Chris Wehner @ChrisWehnerPLO]

@s_gruppetta_ct Why is it that it seems we can assign a counter attribute to a function object but not to some other objects, such as a list object?

[Chris Wehner @ChrisWehnerPLO]

@mathsppblog @dannyreigns015 This is how a dict ensures uniqueness per key and a set ensures uniqueness per item? Nice…I presume it is less efficient to compare the dictkeys and set items in their original formats without converting them into ints via using hash?

[Chris Wehner @ChrisWehnerPLO]

@s_gruppetta_ct A couple ones that I think *are* sugar(?)

my_slice = s[1::2]

@pawjast A primary benefit of OOP is managing state? Very helpful reframe
