How does that differ from this where you need to keep track of state and the whole change in the stack?


If we're speaking strictly code review, because you can actually make sense of the changeset for the child PR by not including its unmerged parent's changeset.


This one definitely does not feel like AI to me. I could be wrong. But it has too much warmth.


The problem is this reduces usability for others. Yes, there are many local to a country sites, but there are also large scale global ones. In both cases, you're not really gaining anything other than some clever autocomplete that could be far more precise if the site offered the correct fields so that whatever autocomplete tooling I use can put the data in for me.

The page itself specifically says "and country", however that too doesn't work. Other non us countries may have the same postal codes, or in my case mine is 4 digits, and I had to figure out that "oh, this is us only and it doesn't work at all for me", which was just entirely a waste of time.


RFC language is expmicltly defined in 2119[0]. Any other interpretation is incorrect.

Thank you for that. So should is optional, people!


Pulling exact quotes out, SHOULD means "there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item" while MAY means "an item is truly optional."

I don't think this can be interpreted as simply "should is optional".


They're both optional, but one comes attached to a big warning message.


Well… yes… no… SHOULD means that you must either do the thing or understand the consequences of not doing it. That's not simply optional, the two options are to ① spend time on writing code and ② spend time on learning the consequences. Either way you need to think hard and spend time. And that's why the definition of SHOULD includes the word "must".


> So should is optional, people!

Only once you have satisfied:

> but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

In other words, you better have a damn good reason for deciding not to do it.

And (possibly even more to the point), you must decide not to do it, rather than simply throwing code at the wall until most emails make it through unscathed.


I think that is a bit to easy. MAY is described ar optional.

SHOULD - Should really be there. It's not MUST, you can ignore it but do not come crying if your email is not delivered to some of your customers ! you should have though about that before.


IRC still exists at a semi large scale. If you're looking to return


If you're interested, fstrings are faster because they directly become bytecode at compile time rather than being a function call at runtime


Thanks for the that bit of info! I was surprised by the speed difference. I have always assumed that most variations of basic string formatting would compile to the same bytecode.

I usually prefer classic %-formatting for readability when the arguments are longer and f-strings when the arguments are shorter. Knowing there is a material performance difference at scale, might shift the balance in favour of f-strings for some situations.


Just like the event


This looks really cute. I wonder if it'd help with reviews when people have strange PR's


Oh, this is a good use case.


Exactly my thought on this.


Working on some tailored to my needs tax reporting software. I submit claims to my workplace in batches under a number of different categories. Using this as an excuse to get better at some bits of SQL, leaning Textual as well, which I'm hoping to use in other things. Other than that I'm cooking a few IRC bots that I swap to when the other code becomes a bit too boring


pipx solves this perfectly.


For "applications" (which are distributed on PyPI but include specified entry points for command-line use), yes. For development — installing libraries that your own code will use — you'll still generally need something else (although the restriction is really quite arbitrary).


Agreed! Sorry my read was for apps. You can use --user with pip to install into the user site rather than the system site, however it still causes overlap which can be problematic
