It's coming to 24 days of Rust as well :-)

By NN you mean a neural network, of course? That makes even more sense...

NN = nomen nescio ("I don't know the name") You use it when you cannot name the source of a quote, or when you would like to protect the source.

Wouldn't "-Unknown" convey the same sense without the possible confusion?

I think this conveys a slightly different meaning.

When I see "-Unknown", I interpret it as "somebody said it, but no one is quite sure who".

"(NN)" in the current thread was used to indicate "I personally don't know", which does not imply the quote is unattributable.

NN is (was) also used in neapolitan comedy, derived from earlier use throughout the Roman Empire and Middle Age. The "figlio di NN", or "son of NN" means someone who was found and adopted (typically by nuns) and whose parents were unknown.

NN can be used in general for people whose origin is uncertain. I think in this specific case it's a bit misleading - although the wikipedia article seems to suggest that NN can also be used as a synonym for "unknown", although from a historical perspective it is a bit incorrect.

The literal translation from Latin creates some confusion if you didn't know the context.

I hope this helps.

So NN can be used as an school version of anonymous?

Using the acronym of the phrase defeats the purpose, though, since it looks like someone's initials.

You can have that since 3.4, thanks to PEP 443 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0443/). Here's a (slightly contrived) example: https://gist.github.com/zsiciarz/e15199d9be1b0e07faf6

There's https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres-macros for PostgreSQL.

This can be helpful in Project Euler challenges.

Another useful site for that purpose is the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (https://oeis.org/).

A pretty successful strategy for "cheating" at Project Euler is to implement a brute force solution to get the first few numbers out of a sequence and look it up in OEIS. If you're lucky, they've already listed a closed form expression for calculating the sequence at an arbitrary index. Drop the expression into your code, and you end up with something that tends to be orders of magnitude more efficient.

Obviously it depends on the structure of the exercise, but it's somewhat surprising how far it can take you.

Some of the OEIS sequences originated with Project Euler problems, so this strategy is closer to cheating than you might think.

I wish for a H.P. Lovecraft app like that.

mmm hm.

your graph looks similar to the authors. Huge sprawling areas of meaningless changes, punctuated by actual work, which more or less was consistent throughout history.

Do you feel this is a meaningful metric?

Right behind you with 230 days: https://github.com/zsiciarz

The contribution graph is in my opinion really a great motivational tool. Seems to work better for me than projects like Julython, however I'm guilty of a few single-commit days fixing a typo or updating some dependency packages. Looking forward to 365!
