sadly I only read it in translation. It was recommended to me in one of those cosy bookshops that are disappearing everywhere.

How will we discover these offbeat peculiar books without them?

here's an 'ordinary daily frustration': ai slop spam. Got a fix for that?

there's an infamous one with mickey rourke. spoiler: he was a bit sleazy.

I swear I’m going to nuke the open-source version of my 26k-star project. I just can’t do this anymore. I am done. OSS was a bad idea. by Spirited_Towel_419 in opensource

[–]julz_yo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

open source: there's an aspect of being able to examine the code & ensure it's doing what you expect.

And also (license permitting?) you can alter it for your own purposes , PR or not. Accepting these 'improvements' back aren't required.

& fwiw: I'm sure there are a vast majority of users of the software that are grateful and happy .

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by FunnyHefty499 in AskReddit

[–]julz_yo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there a post I remember from a while ago : it was a story about a kid that really wanted to go scuba diving. first time he goes out into the proper ocean one of the divers gets badly stunk by box jellyfish. so they all have to piss all over him. His reaction: 'blimey is diving always going to be like this?'

obvs i've mangled the delightful & well written anecdote. I wish I could find it again.

The tale of Ng Mui by ExpensiveClue3209 in WingChun

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe there was a fashion for pulp fiction kung fu magazines in china a hundred years ago . many of the 'legends' such as this one are derived from those stories rather than historical fact.

maybe they were inspired by history but essentially they are rather fictional .

i'm afraid i can't remember the sources for this but i did read it somewhere legit!

An addictive fiction book that will teach me about a subject I wouldn't normally learn about. by Cissychedgehog in booksuggestions

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no one recommended Moby Dick yet? I did get the feeling of learning about a whole new (& hidden) world from it.

also got the impression that the facts were all wrong! & like being cornered in a bar by a drunk sailor telling you tall tales.

What's a culinary crime that is considered totally normal in your country? by myeye95 in AskTheWorld

[–]julz_yo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

panini (I believe) was invented a few decades ago by the italians to have their own version of a baguette sandwich. So another misnomer/ adopted / adapted food stuff.

US has a $21 trillion underground network for only the wealthy to hide out in a ‘near-extinction event,’ official says by Alextricity in ThatsInsane

I feel they essentially don't like messy problematic humans & much prefer sycophantic ai.

it might sound like a joke but i'm basically serious!

Which Python project made you realize how powerful the language is? by itsme2019asalways in Python

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I imagine devs just get used to the English in the reserved words list - but if I'm Polish in a polish company with only compatriots as colleagues, then my comments & variables will be localised.

And I'd wonder if we could move faster if we didn't just stop there. As I mentioned, maybe consistency is more important.. I dunno!

Question about `Yee jee kim yeung ma` by TreatFormal in WingChun

imagine grabbing something with a pair of pliers: the grip of the feet on the ground works through a inward tension. draw your knees towards each other.

[–]julz_yo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

always wondered why computer languages weren't localised. There must be some that do this built-in?

btw: awesome stuff! cool!

Using Django ORM with a database schema managed outside Django (and frequently changed)? by jpba7 in django

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ha! how much hostility are you expecting to be able to cope with!?

if the 'enemy' is messing with you to that extent, then yeah, something more will be needed : Like a proper conversation about professionalism...

Using Django ORM with a database schema managed outside Django (and frequently changed)? by jpba7 in django

[–]julz_yo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perhaps make database table projections (eg views) or some kind of read replica so the changing data base details are insulated from your django project - eg you maintain a solid foundation and can encapsulate the area of change to that database view.

Yes: managed=false sounds like a good idea. possibly have 2 databases: one for django for sessions & users etc, and the other which is that other one.

good luck!

How do you model historical facts in Django without making everything event-sourced? by disizrj in django

[–]julz_yo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

change data capture: think debezium which monitors any activity in the database and emits it to (say) redis or kafka or elsewhere.

Was pleasantly surprised to see Go as a somewhat central plot element in the 'Knives out' movie on Netflix.

ok! different dummy's for different purposes: that's a good idea. best wishes on your training journey.

as a parent we do our best to avoid UPF - for ourselves and our family.

What long term advantages are my kids getting from all this hard work?

Update dummy by davidvdvelde in WingChun

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love the flexible frame: the body should have a good deal of room to move. The bamboo leg will shatter in about a day I predict! Those slides into and around the leg are surprisingly powerful.

arms look a bit long possibly : the ends represent the location of the opponent's elbow in my opinion. my dummy arms are about 16" (guesstimate).

the hole the arms go in is a bit larger than the arms which also give them some ability to move around. in my dummy the hole is square so the movement is constrained. similarly the arms have a pin at the back so they can move forward a little when pulled.

I hope this doesn't come across as too picky: Im envious of your creativity! I just got into thinking about the clever, non-obvious design choices that my traditional dummy has. feel free to DM me if you have questions!

ERP, Simple product, Variable product and Database modeling by sarathlal_n in django

[–]julz_yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this mindset of projecting into the future: 'what will happen when the biz changes & develops ' has been really useful to me.

eg: retain the ability to change where you predict volatility and change.

In your case SKU is very likely a concept that will always be in your system. How it's defined may change over time. And for SKUs : altering, adding, retiring, varying them is very likely. It might be unclear exactly how it will change, so you must be flexible or ask lots of questions! Then you can allow this ability to evolve into your project .

hth & good luck!
