#overloading — Public Fediverse posts

Why bother with Python's "overloading" when you can just confuse everyone by calling it "overloaded overloading"? 😵‍💫 Let's waste some more #time explaining why something that isn't supported isn't working. 🚀💡

Roads cutting through mountain ranges and waterfalls
Do they cause landslides and reactivate old ones?

Temporary fix for Waterfall Way at Gordonville slip site
"Waterfall Way has reopened between Bellingen and Dorrigo after temporary repairs to the Gordonville slip site. The temporary fix consists of a gravel filled shipping container wall, two containers high and eight containers long, attached to the rockface using nine high-strength steel anchors drilled deep into the rockface." >>

Do roads mean landslides are more likely? >>

Could road constructions be more hazardous than an earthquake in terms of mass movement?

"In this study, we report a distinct correlation of mass movements and major road constructions that explicitly shows human impact on mountainous environments which are under anthropogenic disturbance recently. Our results further suggest that slope instabilities increased drastically after major service road constructions for hydroelectric power plants and as well as other road extension works."

"We also stress that the impact of road construction can disturb the natural slope equilibrium to an extent comparable with moderate (larger than 6 Mw) earthquakes."

"Such an observation implies that human activities can have a large, if not even dominant, impact on landscape evolution and the natural regime of surface processes. This is part of the definition of “Anthropocene,” an age where our society shapes nature for our purposes, frequently at the risk of damaging ourselves."

#MeisterKonfus sagt, dass eine ständige #Überlast und/oder #Unterlast anstelle eines kontinuierlichen Flusses ein guter Weg ist, die #Verschwendung zu maximieren. Achte also immer darauf, dass kein kontinuierlicher Fluss entstehen kann. #Flow

#Konfus says that constant #overloading and/or #underloading instead of a continuous flow is a good way to maximise #waste. So always make sure that there is no #continuousflow.

Thanks to all who contributed. I created 4 implementations based on this conversation:

1. A 2-arg function with branches on isinstance
2. A function with class-pattern matching on arg pack
3. Many functions using singledispatch
4. Many functions using multipledispatch [does not work in CE due to missing module]

The 4th one looks cleanest and is closest to C++, Java overloading. Don't know about performance.

Thanks again, comments welcome. 🙏

#python #overloading

Pythonistas, how does one **sanely** implement the following function interface?

f(float) -> int
f(str) -> str
f(int, str) -> int
f(list, float) -> str

My Python is 1/10. So, link to a solution (sketch) would be immensely helpful. 🙏

PS:
- Return types don't really matter but I show it for completeness
- setting aside questions like "why this interface?"
- omitted saying "overload" to avoid "can't really overload" responses, but there I said it. 😆

An overloaded battery 😁

I know it's not good, but I have no choice. Our national grid can distribute electricity only one hour per day to every household in my village. It could be worse or even completely cut off in the near future as the government is running out of budget.

I'm using a 40 AH lead acid battery with a 60W solar panel. I can use my laptop whole day, charge my phone and light at night with my setup. We're forced to go green 😁
