… 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.

Good. Her stance on capital gains tax exemptions was absolutely awful and likely would have painted her as an out of touch elite.

Honestly, Carney isn’t that different but seems to be doing a better job managing his PR. He’s got pretty sus policies but as long as PP isn’t the next PM whatever.

His feelings don’t care about the facts so what difference would actually receiving the briefing make?

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.

The whole fucking family seems to have chosen Nazism - his dad is also a fucking asshole.

She accuses everyone else of going off alone while she’s the only fuck who flew to Mar-a-lago to kiss the ring.

Call me when Trudeau reforms the election system like he has promised every single election.

Absolutely fucking nothing. Neither Trudeau nor Pollievre have any real policy proposals that they want to get through.

Grassroots like those who expect to pay massive capital gains taxes.

Sounds like X is a security threat. We should ban it.

The spacing between “mis” and “take” is the only thing I can focus on in this meme.

The appeal court ruling settles a question that for years did not have a clear answer, after other cases involving widows in the Tax Court of Canada ended with conflicting answers: what should the definition of “spouse” be in cases like the one involving Enns.

That analysis (which I grant, may be incorrect) seems to imply this is answering a broader question.

I personally disagree with this decision. I know there are bigger fish to fry but if the husband owed this much in back taxes and had just been refusing to pay them then why shouldn’t the government recover the lost revenue?

This feels ripe for abuse by rich assholes. Evade taxes all your life to set up your inheritor with a big bag of money and a clean slate.
