Reading CPython bytecode with dis: stack execution walkthrough (Length: 3:43)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1q9wonq/reading_cpython_bytecode_with_dis_stack_execution/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Short walkthrough of how CPython executes bytecode using the stack model (push/pop), using Python’s built-in dis module. Covers LOAD_CONST, STORE_NAME/STORE_FAST, LOAD_NAME, BINARY_OP, plus PUSH_NULL, CALL, POP_TOP in a print() call flow. Useful if you’ve seen dis output and wanted a mental model. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/mdns-99 (https://www.reddit.com/user/mdns-99)

We default to addition
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qa64pk/we_default_to_addition/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Subtracting usually takes more effort and is not our default approach to solving problems; after all, how deleting something can produce value? Doesn't less mean worse? But so often, reducing complexity and streamlining process by simplifying them - taking something out, rather than adding something in - leads to true improvement, instead of adding more and more and more - tools, technologies and features. Useful perspective to have when solving the next problem - maybe the solution is to delete/simplify, instead of adding? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/BinaryIgor (https://www.reddit.com/user/BinaryIgor)
