The best decision that nazis ever made was not to indiscriminately purge the military and bureaucracy. Purges certainly did happen but they were focused on the political class and very targeted elsewhere.

They kept the systems people depended on running well to not immediately create massive public backlash… they also got lucky as hell. The military and populace were deeply bitter after WW1 and they leveraged grand gestures to great effect while changing relatively little administratively. The fucks in the US are making flaccid grand gestures while tearing down systems people actually depend on.

Just to clarify. It is defined behavior - there’s plenty of undefined behavior in C but that ain’t one of them.

Also, Python: Please rewrite your multi-line lambdas into tuples of logic statements that you pick the last one of.

Satan has a firm grip.

Your argument isn’t making me any happier - it just fills me with more rage.

Hey now, you know that according to the Bible the biggest number is a million. Anything larger than that including infinity is some of that “woke shit”.

Your array will be 999,999, 999,998, 999,997 …

It sadly doesn’t appear to be.

Oh, you must be looking for dragonsfuckingcars.

Yea, I saw C style and was disappointed when it didn’t abuse gotos.

… and yet… it lacks clear and enforced type restrictions which help with clear code contracts. It’s certainly better than Javascript but the lack of runtime enforced type checking can force defensive programming in an unnecessary manner.

Your statement isn’t strict type checking. It’s a restricted form of type coercion. Given how common this feature is in other languages it’s weird that pythonistas feel so defensive when discussing the feature. I enjoy strict type checking, but that’s my opinion - it makes it a poor choice for the sorts of projects I work on but if it’s good for you then enjoy!

Big if true

… (well, bigger than zero at least)

This isn’t an issue, though. PHP has the same partial typing flexibility. There are ways to solve that issue and even typed PHP still allows union types including mixed which allows any types.

Considering there is typing in the code why is there no switch to enable type checking at runtime? PHP does this with a per file declare(strict_types) - why would python be unable to have either a global or per file flag to enable checks?

I recently tried out Python. I had no idea it still doesn’t have runtime enforced typing…

I didn’t realize that PHP was decades ahead of it.

I believe the formatting issue is because the triple back tick is on a line with other text. In most markdown flavors triple backticks should be on blank line (with some exceptions for hinting at syntax highlighting). Slack’s is the only dialect I’ve seen that specifically strips newlines from triple backticks and I hate it.

And have a valid Apple developer account?

Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?

Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.

I use arch, btw.

People named Maria be like:

Yea, it used to be MySQL but now it’s truly my SQL

Emacs runs everything if you try hard enough.

Someone has built an org mode plugin for launching steam games[1] - I don’t believe anyone has yet built a steamos emulator in elisp, though.

But that just means it could be you!

It’s okay. Emacs is still available.
