       @bug I think a lot of pain and suffering could have been avoided if we as a community had named "undefined behavior" something different and scarier-sounding.Also if we had tools like UBSan/ASan/Miri from the start.

       @wolf480pl @bug Perhaps scary isn't the right word. Just a name that is less likely to give you the false impression of understanding the intricacies of the concept just from having heard the name, and without digging in further.UB isn't that scary. But it is subtle — e.g. see time-travelling UB, or the implications on debuggers in the presence of UB. And it gets confused for "implementation-defined" or "unspecified" behavior all the time. These are things that would have been better avoided.

       @thephd I don't disagree with the conclusion, but I do believe your blog post conflates undefined and unspecified/implementation-defined behavior."things that were too hard or they weren’t sure about or it was just too damn hard to document" -> I think this mostly became unspecified/implementation-defined, not *undefined* behavior.This post of mine briefly covers the distinction in the intro:https://predr.ag/blog/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-undefined-behavior/

       @simon what's wrong with having slightly more buoyant, much more explode-y helium for your parties?I can't possibly see anything going wrong with that 😂

       @mjg59 I completely lucked out in my last move and ended up in an apartment building that FiOS uses for new tech test rollouts. I get symmetric 1Gbps courtesy of single-mode fiber that terminates in my closet.Based on what the tech that installed it said, their backhaul is super overprovisioned and if they wanted to they could run 10Gbps over the same fiber.They should advertise this stuff! I didn't know until I moved in.

       @amanjeev @fasterthanlime as someone who has had to look into the finer points of ISO 8601 date handling, I can certify that standard was the wrong kind of inspired.

       @simon this is also a function of tooling:- It's hard to check for backward compatibility.- It's hard to upgrade many dependencies to a new library version.With better tooling, we wouldn't have to rename libraries like this.

       @simon on that note, I'm working on a Python linter that can find and report breaking changes between package versions!Like my Rust linter cargo-semver-checks, but for Python. Before making a new release (or merging a PR), run it to make sure no unintended breaking changes have snuck in.Who should I be talking to about this? Who needs to use it the most?#rustlang #python #semver

       @simon lmk if you're open to trying it on the datasette ecosystem — that'd be a very solid start 😎

       What does semantic versioning buy us? Is it worth the hassle? How do we improve the experience in Rust, Python, TypeScript, and more?Catch @chriskrycho and me discuss this and more on the latest episode of the @changelog podcast 👇https://changelog.com/podcast/597#rust #python #javascript #typescript #semver #podcast

       The problem with #semver in practice: we can't possibly do it by hand. Check out my hot takes in this clip from my @changelog interview!It's the same story in all languages: Python, TS/JS, Rust, you name it. Better tooling or bust!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qd1zW8gxUU#programming #devtools #python #rust #rustlang #typescript
