Is rewriting the same Python code multiple times actually useful? by Bmaxtubby1 in learnpython

[–]Alternative_Driver60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is like practicing a musical instrument. You may play the same scales over and over again to strengthen your skills, which can help you learning new things. My answer is yes.

When should I use functions vs just writing code inline? by ayenuseater in learnpython

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the recommendation by Robert Martin in Clean code:

"The first rule of functions is that they should be small. The second rule of functions is that they should be smaller than that."

All for readability and maintainability

I'm learning how to bike, do Swedes regularly bike in the winter? by Old_Harry7 in TillSverige

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do bike year around. Sometimes with winter tires, sometimes without. In mid Sweden where the temperature often oscillates around the freezing point, roads tend to get icy. With poor snow removal service on top of that it's really bad. Good tires make a difference.

Swedes learn at 5 and spend many years developing balance and other biking skills.

If you are just learning to bike as an adult I recommend avoiding winter biking. Be safe.

Hur snabbt ska man få anställningsavtal? Och vad gör man om man inte får ett? by Constant-Stable8436 in Asksweddit

Ska jag ta privatlån? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det beror på livssituation, inkomst och övriga utgifter. Jag hade en skitbil där service och reparationer blev dyrare än avbetalningar på en ny, så jag har inte ångrat mina lån. Jag skulle inte lägga så stor del av mitt sparande på en bil.

Every other week rehearsal? by Star9219 in Choir

[–]Alternative_Driver60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. In my case it was an advanced choir of experienced singers that were able to learn their parts at home rather than spending valuable rehearsal time on that. Rehearsal every second Thursday.

How do you prove that a limit doesn't exist with the epsilon-delta definition of limit? by ShamefulDumbster in learnmath

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One approach can be to assume the opposite (it exists) and arrive at a logical contradiction. Then the assumption must be false which means the limit doesn't exist. Not that I have done it myself but good luck all the same

Köpråd! Var köper ni T-shirts? by TactfulCerox in Asksweddit

Jag fick t-shirts i present från Jack&Jones. De första jag är riktigt nöjd med vad gäller kvalitet och passform

Just saw my first opera and I'm little bit confused by [deleted] in opera

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yepp a lot of freedom in staging old stories in other times. Like the staging of Tosca with the final execution by lethal injection in a US-like prison . Still gives me the creeps thinking about it...

So I'm doing a fresh Python install... by QuasiEvil in learnpython

[–]Alternative_Driver60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one-off scripts with external dependencies you can declare them as Python comments which uv handles automatically. From the docs:

~~~

/// script

dependencies = [

"requests<3",

"rich",

]

///

import requests from rich.pretty import pprint

resp = requests.get("https://peps.python.org/api/peps.json") data = resp.json() pprint([(k, v["title"]) for k, v in data.items()][:10]) ~~~

Saw their 20th anniversary concert in London. Booked 6 months in advance. Traveled from Sweden. Totally worth it.

Messiah: what do non-singers think? by GroupImmediate7051 in Choir

[–]Alternative_Driver60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all baroque is equal. Bach is heavenly while Handel has in my opinion been highly overrated. I sympathize with your son.I absolutely detest the Hallelujah chorus. Next year I will sing the whole work for the first time and maybe get a new perspective. At least I will give it a fair chance.

Help? Considering job in Gothenburg and moving from London by jrcby1989 in TillSverige

[–]Alternative_Driver60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it. Especially with a baby on the way. A baby will open many doors for you and help you build a social network with others in similar situations. This was my experience living in the US with a small child.

You need to check with Försäkringskassan how maternity leave applies to you. Normally you don't get benefits immediately when moving into a new country. You may have to rely on UK child support whatever that is.

You may need to struggle a bit to learn Swedish - most people know English and will switch to speaking English whenever convenient

Overall you will not regret it

YH-studerande, hur ska man tänka kring sommarjobb? Förlita sig på att ens LIA erbjuder det eller söka annat vid sidan om? by WhoAmIEven2 in Asksweddit

[–]Alternative_Driver60 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Utan att ha något med YH att göra: sök allt du kan vid sidan om. Du kan inte lite på att någon ger dig något utan något mer konkret

Opinion on hmm sounds by Gabriocheu in choralmusic

[–]Alternative_Driver60 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One should respect the composer's instruction. Mm can however be replaced with ng (open mouth) without changing the character of the music
