Hey, I used this the other day. Thank you.

I believe sugar is added to tomato-based products (sauces, condiments, etc) because tomatoes are pretty acidic by themselves and sugar is a common way to balance out acidic foods.

I too liked this approach, and was annoyed when they deprecated it.

This strikes me as overly cynical. My current job is working with around 20 other engineers on an extremely bloated and coupled monolith. I'd love to be able to separate myself and my team from others by an agreed-upon interface. Yes,

Well the Earth's orbit is an ellipse, so there are times of the year where we are closer to the sun (January is when we are at perihelion). We could either change our eccentricity in order to shorten our year to exactly 364 days, or

TIL. Didn't realize this wasn't a new project (but also didn't read past "WSGI").

Looks like its only dependencies are the standard library. So it appears to be a more lightweight Flask. Should've been called phial :D

Correct. I was drunk.

by ddejohn 3y ago
You're right. Python is pass by reference and it's the reference being changed, not the object. This is what happens when you read code on the internet after drinks.

I wouldn't call a function that mutates the input "safe navigation", personally :)
134.
by ddejohn 3y ago
There's certainly humor in a function called "safe navigation" mutating the data structure I'm supposedly safely navigating through :D

Yeah, when trying to drill down into deeply nested structures, it'd be a waste to just blindly nullish-coalesce any None objects into empty dicts instead of just immediately short-circuiting out of the deep access. It's a cute tri

by ddejohn 3y ago
Right, see my other comment: > Blowing up on `None` is an easy short-circuit. The thing being discussed is attempting to access deeply nested values, so short-circuiting here is a win-win. I.e., you wouldn't want to unnecessarily tr
137.
by ddejohn 3y ago
Ah, I see. Still, I'd just catch that exception and move on because it's obvious you won't have anything more deeply nested anyway. Blowing up on `None` is an easy short-circuit.

> Of course this only works at one level and not arbitrarily deeply It does though, you can chain as many of these as you want: some_dict.get("level_1_key", {}).get("level_2_key", {}).get("level_3_key"

I don't have 500 rep. I'm unable to downvote. I tried to engage in discourse by asking you to elaborate on your position -- the onus wasn't on me to explain anything. Good luck in life.

So instead of taking the opportunity to educate somebody on a topic you're implying you know a lot about, you've decided it's not worth the bother because I'm probably religious about -- checks notes -- carbon taxes...

This isn't really a fair argument. As far as I understand, at least in the case of the 2006 plot, the bomb still needed to be constructed (i.e., ingredients mixed, detonator placed inside, etc). If you have something in a water bottle

All valid points except the last -- you can still blow a hole in the fuselage and cause it to crash without needing to get into the cockpit.

That article you linked is just one big causal fallacy. It claims that the TSA admitted that the liquid ban was bullshit, citing a Slate article which does not itself even quote the TSA lol. I'm not a chemist, but I'm under the im

The shoes and belts thing is ridiculous, I agree. But there's a legitimate reason for the liquid ban to which I'm not sure there's much of a solution, is there?
