My test suite has just one dot on the last line. What would you do?

  • Delete one test
  • Change the width of the terminal
  • Keep it as a visceral reminder of the uncomfortably chaotic nature of the universe
  • Write more tests

@dabeaz @nedbat That's the best idea I'll see all week 👏

@joni how does that room feel when there isn't bright sunlight? I want to paint my office a bold color, but I'm afraid it'll be overly dark when it's not bright out.

Python people, do you make short-lived intermediate variables to make your return statements readable?

For example, which of these would you tend to prefer?

def get_project_name(output_str): """Get project name from output of

@ehmatthes I'd prefer the right. But in a code review I'd only comment that the doc string should contain the raw value that's being parsed as an example 😁

CodenameTim,
@CodenameTim@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes I think having a realistic raw value in the tests is a great idea. However, having a shorter example of the format that's being parsed, even if it's extremely short is beneficial. If you have tests that confirm it works, then the doc string's purpose is to inform you what it does. Having to read the code to reverse engineer or switch to the tests to get an example is extra brain cycles.

@bmispelon nice write up! I agree that python-console is more understandable.

And some days you wake up and try to do something new.

If you're into unsettling fiction, hopefully this scratches that itch. If that's not your thing (or amateur writing for that matter), don't click the link.

@matthiask Thank you! I definitely went back and forth on publishing it, and then again posting about it here.

When I say "lightning talks" is there a particular conference lightning talk or lightning talk session that comes to mind for you?

Doesn't need to be your favorite talk/session, but just one that comes to mind.

Link me to it!

Thanks @ehmatthes for inspiring this question.

@treyhunner I particularly enjoyed @adamfast's talk on the solar eclipse last year at and @lacey's talk on volunteering the year before.

That said, I'm on Team Submit Early simply to avoid timezone confusion.

@ehmatthes I was thinking about your tea & coffee comment this morning. What kinds of tea are you enjoying these days? Do you vary it and is there anything you swear by?

I also realized I crave coffee because my routine isn't stable right now so I'm not waking up as rested as normal.

@ehmatthes Oh my. That's going to be pretty nerve-wracking. Hopefully that's the only major unknown remaining in your move?

@webology I switched over after reading Adam's Boost Your Git DX. I'll need to give the Dracula theme a whirl. The one I landed on has a problem in some diffs where the contrast is all off when I try to highlight something.

@webology I'm using a white background theme right now because I thought I'd be screensharing way more often.

How would you test a database migration operation that creates a shadow table with a subset of data, then swaps it in?

Edit: In an automated test

@benjaoming that's not a bad idea. My current one is pulling a bunch of testing code out of Django to do what django does.
