I'm sorry, had to do a regex implementation.
![import re
regex = re.compile(r"\$?(?P<val>[\d\.]+)(?P<mil>M)?(?P<bil>B)?", re.I)
def cap_str_to_mln_float(cap: str) -> float:
if match := regex.match(cap.strip()):
return float(match["val"]) * (1000 if match["bil"] else 1)
return 0.0](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4eyqyilshucnsnb4jjoqpxb/bafkreifxpzh53yx2tbwhe26rjpsxvxnoiwdfsvhouw5fgwzyr7vuij4f44@jpeg)

I recently asked a colleague about a shell script he was using, his reply; "you should know, you wrote the thing!". Comments in the code show i did in fact write it, 21 years ago ...

Yeah sure, it is perfectly logical to buy more because you cannot void the contract ...

Wat moet een extern lab eigenlijk met die persoonsgegevens? Het lijkt mij dat de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens hier ook een mening over heeft?

The problem is that the offspring often looks nothing like the (usable) cables you put in there. I can never find the cable I actually need in that litter ...

Eh. 3.75mm of course.

You wouldn't say it's in the tens, you would probably say it's around 15°. Just like you wouldn't say something is 3/8 of a cm, you'd say it's 37.5 mm.

Nah. All we need now is the app that tells us which auth app has $account. Then we're fine.

Good memories. My dad didn't have a clue how to program it. He just sat back and watched his son. There must have been some manual, can't remember, but when my dad took it back to work the PLC was programmed to do crossroad traffic lights with sensor input for cars/pedestrians. Fully working. 😎

Somewhere around that time i did my very first programming. On a device my dad brought home over a weekend. Similar to this thing someone gave me, a couple of years ago. I was hooked but it took me another 10 years before I finally had my first computer.

No. Though I'm a little confused by your need to ask?

Less code. I like the clean code of a dataclass. Of course, once you start adding more methods and maybe even a __post_init__ it's time to consider using a regular class.

I would go for an alternative, a dataclass with a validate method. I like the clean look of a dataclass and since it is a class there's no reason not to add a custom (validate) method.
