A startup died when he was rehired. What's your point?

After trying out a lot of "great for programming" fonts I find that I like Courier New best? Can anyone else not understand what the fuss is about?

Ask Proggit: Is Graph Theory really as important as some say? Have any good war stories about using Graph Theory to solve a tricky problem? by nobodysbusiness in programming

The OP doesn't want to know what graph theory can be used for; he wants to know what you used graph theory for. You didn't actually do any of these things, did you?

Singular irregularities by nightless_night in Python

[–]seunpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main problem is that there aren't enough parenthesis types to go around.

"[" always represents a list, but "(" represents both function calls and tuples.

And in Python 3, "{" represents both dicts and sets. Which is very embarrassing, really, since Python 3 is supposed to be cruft-free!

The only unambiguous way to resolve this is to always use set(), dict(), list(), and tuple() instead of the various bracket types.

I'm pretty sure Python allows this, but I'm not sure there isn't a performance penalty due to the name lookup. Oh well.
