In this article let’s look at the functools Standard Library module and 6 cool things you can do with it (be warned, a lot of decorators are coming your way! 😍) … 1. Cache (“memoize”) things You can use the @cache decorator (formerly called @lru_cache) as a “simple lightweight unbounded function cache”. The classic example is calculating a Fibonacci series where the intermediate results are cached, speeding up the calculation significantly: On my system this code takes 0.02s to complete. 😎 However if I comment the @cache decorator it takes 28.30s because of all the repeated calculations! 😱 Hence caching is…

11 min readIf you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Chinese proverb Transformative power of guidance 10 years ago I was overweight, maybe not more than +12 kg, but it definitely had a bearing on the quality of my life and (!) future health perspective. Back then I thought I ate reasonably healthy and did my daily walk (the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends you “do at least 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity”, I definitely did that). Now I know: I simply…
