  1. IMO syntax is the least important skill in programming, and your ability to quickly look up and understand documentation is one of the most important skills. (Being good at algorithms helps too) Sure, knowing all the syntax you need makes you faster, but most of the time I can't even remember the syntax of my own functions and objects. Yet if I remember the syntax of the, say, 20 things I use most, then there's no issue. Also, whenever I switch from something like Python to C or the other way around, I'm going to make mistakes in bracketing if statements or (not) ending in a semicolon. The way I see it, anyone trying to argue that this is a necessarily bad thing hasn't got enough experience with current day programming. All of this is to say that even though I agree with many of your points, the focus on syntax seems rather pointless to me.

  3. You should have promoted your patreon in this video! Sharing is great, but becoming a patreon is even greater :)

  4. It's worth noting that if _eq_ is not implemented, then it behaves as "is": In [1]: class Dog: ...: def __init__(self, name): ...: self.name = name ...: In [2]: tim = Dog("tim") In [3]: joe = tim In [4]: joe == tim Out[4]: True

  5. Please don't use the compliment sandwich. People see right through the BS of it and it has been shown to degrade trust. Instead, be direct and upfront with a primer. Loosely follow these steps: 1. "Hey, this may sound like I don't appreciate the sex we have" -- Important point here is to consider "What is the worst thing my partner could think?" and preemt this. This is scary but will prevent defensiveness. 2. Observe and wait a second for their initial panic to subside, indicating that they've been able to brace themselves for what you're about to say. 3. "I've been feeling like our sex life has turned quite monotone, and I'd love to switch it up by maybe including other kinds of sex." -- Important point here is to face your point head on. Don't beat around the bush, but be respectful. Keep what your say within your truth (refrain from "you (don't) do X"). This will show your partner both respect and thoughtfulness, and has been shown to increase trust. This same system applies to any tough news you may wish to share with anyone. (e.g. "I have bad news... The seller did not accept the offer you made").

  6.  @TechWithTim  Dude, this actually ended up fixing all my problems. Two days of frantic coding later, I've got a working (and beautiful) proof of concept!

  7. My brain when seeing this video in recommended: "What? This is too clickbaity... I'm not gonna... Actually..." "Ok, fine. You win Clément."

  8. "Poor choice of words but..." We all know the coice of words was very intentional, Matt. (And yes, it was funny)

  9. "Multithreading" is a very big word when it comes to plain python. You won't be getting any significant performance gain from doing it. If you want to achieve actual multi-threading in python, the best way I know of is to use Konrad Hinsen's modified Python interpreter together with his Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) module included in his scientific python package: https://bitbucket.org/khinsen/scientificpython The problem is that Python's GIL will protest against any form of parallelisation. I tried to build a package that could deliver a Python based BSP package, but was unable to get the GIL to play nice in any generalised case. Hence, the project is currently on the backburner.

  10. Verbose just means it writes more stuff to the console.
