Re:What’s New in Swift 5.2 on Thursday February 06, 2020 @03:02PM (#22259725)
i happen to be learning swift and, as a newcomer to the language, i have concluded that the level of complexity is pretty much on par with cpp. one thing i have noticed is that swift maintains readability while being complex. that's the surprised to me. complex cpp is simply not pleasant to read.
seems to be written in the crystal programming language, which i am discovering here too. looks very much like ruby to me.
Re:Opnieuw: A simple and intuitive retrying library for Python on Wednesday February 05, 2020 @08:55AM (#22246695)
https://github.com/invl/retry works well for me. only problem is that logging issue that's still open i believe.

seems to me that the authors wrote their own library instead of trying to make the ones that didn't meet their need better. well, they never mentioned they tried...

anyways, some of their choices like that long variable name are odd to me. i can understand the unit problem though. golang solves that so nicely!

60s. was wondering how we could add physical units to python? highjack the number literals and variables like this: 1.s, pi.radians? or maybe the way golang does it: 1 * time.seconds?

would be nice to have

yes it is excessive!

i thought go has a GOGC=off option or something? did they remove it?
Re:Kubernetes the Easy Way on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @12:52PM (#22238649)
kubernetes is complex and maybe not for all of us. i am starting to think, maybe we should leave operations to operation teams at this point and just be developers. i would be totally fine with it to be honest.
Re:Show HN: Interactive Periodic Table in JavaScript on Thursday January 30, 2020 @10:55AM (#22192256)
this is super cool! i clicked on the group names on the right thinking the filtering will happen automatically but you have to select them and apply on the left.
Re:Best Python IDEs and Code Editors on Thursday January 30, 2020 @10:52AM (#22192223)
yes the list is certainly not exhaustive. i don't see activepython from active state in there. they've been in the game forever and mu is a newcomer but a really interesting one!

dropbox is a nicer experience of the three.
Re:Dropbox ignore file or folder in beta on Thursday January 30, 2020 @06:36AM (#22190657)
always between mac and windows. i have had better experience with dropbox than drive. in fact, i have all three: onedrive, dropbox, and drive. drive is my least favorite...
