I’ve often ended up guessing what things do and messing things up.

One example is when I couldn’t remember the difference between git checkout -b and git checkout -B, so in my infinite wisdom I decided to use -B because surely capital letters are better! Tried using it to switch back to a branch, and… Yeah, that was annoying.

The info about Nuitka being a similar speed is good to note, since everyone assumes that by compiling something you automatically get a massive speed boost.

This is related to the fact that a lot of people hear about the Faster Python and go “ooh will python be getting a JIT” compiler, as if that’s the magic weapon that will improve everything, while in reality loads of different changes are needed.

(If anyone’s interested Mark Shannon gave a good talk on Faster Python at PyCon this year, now available on YouTube)

Am I the only one that gets triggered by the spelling “Pypy” and “Pypi” instead of “PyPy” and “PyPI” :P

Ah, that’s too boring. I have a range of responses to pick from to keep things interesting:

  • LGTM
  • Nice
  • Looks good
  • Thanks
  • Looks great
  • :thumbsup:
  • Looks good to me
  • :shipit:

For me, no text means “I haven’t really reviewed this properly so don’t want to write anything that could be used against me if (when?) this breaks something in prod”

My experience using docker on windows has been pretty awful, it would randomly become completely unresponsive, sometimes taking 100% CPU in the process. Couldn’t stop it without restarting my computer. Tried reinstalling and various things, still no help. Only found a GitHub issue with hundreds of comments but no working workarounds/solutions.

When it does work it still manages to feel… fragile, although maybe that’s just because of my experience with it breaking.

Not entirely related, but I wonder how things like Lemmy/mastodon/other fediverse things compare to Reddit/twitter in terms of search engine indexing. Would posts like this even be indexed? Since posts are accessible through many instances would it be indexed multiple times? Would this affect ranking?

Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.

Nothing that can’t be fixed though, and it’s encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).
