Luckily you don't typically compare numbers in Python with 'is'. In Java you should not compare Integer objects with '==' either of course, but '==' is typically used with numbers, and the auto-boxing fe

That Python uses the exact same string if they contain the same immutable content can probably be a bit confusing. But if you want truly confusing behavior look at how Java treats numbers wrapped in their object type: public class Ma

If those hierarchical directories actually work, i.e. http://example.com/blog/2022/05 actually lists blog entries written in May 2022, I'd certainly prefer that to this type of "optimization".

Thanks for the explanation. I guess most languages need this feature i.e. fail anywhere below this call, then return the type error + where it occurred + a stack trace. I've even heard of people doing stuff like that in C, where they s

OK, I'm not into Rust. It just seems a bit too complicated :-)

Wasn't this argument used all the time by the Go community. I.e. only use panic when you intend the program to halt, and handle all potential problems with the Error type. I think Rob Pike even said it's easy to see where a progra

This is super handy. I've often found myself 'tail'-ing logs to 'grep' to filter out stuff; pw makes that process 10 times better. Very cool.

He says him and his kids are going to "review it together" until they earn his trust, sure sounds like fun.
