The Pitfalls of Boolean Trap

Good little article about the pitfalls of using boolean values as parameters for a function. Not the first time I've seen this sort of thing (I'm sure I read a similar article years before, and a similar thing in a coding book even earlier).

Still good advice.

At least it's a little better in languages with keyword arguments.

python - PyLint "Unable to import" error - how to set PYTHONPATH? - Stack Overflow

Very handy solution to the problem of making a project you're working on available to its own tests. While this tends not to be an issue for linting from the command line (I use a Makefile and sort the PYTHONPATH when doing the linting), but from within Emacs with flycheck it can be more awkward.
