#nim has always been focused on providing a compiled statically typed language focusing on efficiency, readability and flexibility.

Version 1.0 marks the beginning of a stable base which can be used in the coming years, knowing that the future versions of Nim won’t break the code you have written with the current version.

​​Support open source and earn a limited edition T-shirt!

To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register and make four pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or behavior not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate. This year, the first 50,000 participants who successfully complete the challenge will earn a T-shirt.

​​Decades-old Computer Science conjecture solved in two pages.

A paper posted online this month has settled a nearly 30-year-old conjecture about the structure of the fundamental building blocks of computer circuits. This “sensitivity” conjecture has stumped many of the most prominent computer scientists over the years, yet the new proof is so simple that one researcher summed it up in a single tweet.

5G is here. Its little icon is starting to appear in the top corners of phone screens throughout the world. If you’ve connected to it already, you may have observed that it doesn’t feel a whole lot faster than 4G.

So network performance stands to get much faster very soon. That should alleviate the web’s performance problems right?

Well, it should, but I don’t expect it will. At least not soon. If recent trends continue, 5G just might make web performance worse, not better, for the average person.

José Valim: If you look at the features listed by Kubernetes (#k8s) and compare it to languages that run on the Erlang VM, such as Erlang and Elixir, the impression is that they share many k eywords, such as “self-healing”, “horizontal scaling”, “distribution”, etc.

This sharing often leads to confusion. Do they provide distinct behaviors? Do they overlap? For instance, is there any purpose to #elixir’s fault tolerance if Kubernetes also provides self-healing?

In this article, I will go over many of these topics and show how they are mostly complementary and discuss the rare case where they do overlap.

​​The strictest and most opinionated #python linter ever! Actually wemake-python-styleguide is just a flake8 plugin with lots of other plugins as dependencies.

https://github.com/wemake-services/wemake-python-styleguide

It focuses on enforcing consistent, easy (not complex), readable python code. And it goes with some extreme and hardcore checks inside.

We also made this linter to be legacy first with the help of flakehell. It means that you are allowed to have existing bad code, but you won't be allowed to write more bad code. Ever.

Also available as a Github Action: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/wemake-python-styleguide

By the way, we have a lot of #Hacktoberfest issues that need help: https://github.com/wemake-services/wemake-python-styleguide/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AHacktoberfest

DYC is a CLI tool that helps with documenting your #python source code. It will help keep you alert for new methods that were added and not documented. Also supports to build a reusable docstring template. Just answer the prompt questions in your terminal to see the effect on your files.

Honest question: do you understand what does Pin do?

Excelent article about layers in your application.

> When designing any application, the question is inevitably raised: “where should this code go?” Many times this answer isn’t readily available, resulting in code that ends up in a project’s junk drawer (like utils or models). If this happens enough, the codebase becomes tangled and the team’s ability to maintain the software over time is significantly decreased. This is not a sign of developer inexperience or “naming is hard” — instead it’s most likely a symptom of an application’s lack of structure.
