typing

I've typed around 75wpm for the last few years but I've always wondered how people type +100wpm. I've searched but I primarily find typing tutors that teach you to type.. not teach you to type faster. So far the only tip I've come across is to learn dvorak. Are there exercises or tips to help break through the 75wpm wall? Setting yourself up in an ergonomic typing position is a good start. Take a look at the diagram here - notice the arms in a straight line, feet on the floor, etc. In my experience most people tend to slow down when they get to unusual keys - numbers, symbols, punctuation, etc

I have several namedtuples that share some fields. I have a function that accepts these tuples and is guaranteed to only interact with the shared fields. I want to typecheck such code in mypy. An example of the code would be: from typing import NamedTuple class Base(NamedTuple): x: int y: int class BaseExtended(NamedTuple): x: int y: int z: str def DoSomething(tuple: Base): return tuple.x + tuple.y base = Base(3, 4) base_extended = BaseExtended(5, 6, 'foo') DoSomething(base) DoSomething(base_extended) When I run mypy on this code I get a predictable error: mypy_example.py:20: error: Argument 1

The whole generics thing is kinda throwing me for a loop, and more so the RTT. Specificis? Ah well here's the gist: enum QueryHelper { query1, query2; static <T> QueryHelper getQueryHelper (Class<T> expectedReturn) { if (expectedReturn.isInstance (SomeRelatedClass.class)) return query1; else return query2; } } and then I would call it like so: ... QueryHelper helper = QueryHelper.getQueryHelper(SomeRelatedClass.class); ... This is so that I can really flexibly assign the query return type in the actual helper. It does some casting and object creation. What I am seeing is that there is no match

I've seen a plugin for Vim called AutoClose (discovered from this post) which automatically adds the closing brace when typing '(', '{' etc. For example; when I type the following ( | is the cursor): int main(| I would like the closing ) to be inserted automatically for me: int main(|) Does anyone know of a similar feature for emacs - Google has failed me this time! There's also 'paredit . The cheat sheet shows you all the commands available. happen to like it better than the electric mode suggested in another answer. Though paredit does only apply to (), so it may not meed your needs. But, to

Python 3.7 is around the corner , and I wanted to test some of the fancy new dataclass +typing features. Getting hints to work right is easy enough, with both native types and those from the typing module: >>> import dataclasses >>> import typing as ty >>> ... @dataclasses.dataclass ... class Structure: ... a_str: str ... a_str_list: ty.List[str] ... >>> my_struct = Structure(a_str='test', a_str_list=['t', 'e', 's', 't']) >>> my_struct.a_str_list[0]. # IDE suggests all the string methods :) But one other thing that I wanted to try was forcing the type hints as conditions during runtime, i.e.
