I didn't say anything about types, but we use plumatic/schema as a "type system". It is not ideal (for once, it is checked at runtime instead of build time, so we only check types during tests and requests, otherwise the

This is actually something from Python's stdlib: https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html Really underrated.

Python can too, and I think most other languages are inspired by it. https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html

I am not agreeing with you, sorry. If they made good reviews, impartial reviews I could agree with you, but the way they do it nowadays could mostly be automatized (or at least do in a bulk, this is essentially what they do anyway in terms

It on iPad 6. I think if I had an iPad Pro (that also has a 120Hz screen I think?) it would be the same.

Yeah, this is my favorite gimmick of my Samsung Galaxy S20. 120Hz display+240Hz touch sensor makes everything feels so fast and responsive, this is the first Android device that feels faster than my iPad.

This is unlikely to change since if ping changes many programs would broke. It is kinda like ipconfig. AFAIK, ping is a setuid binary (since it needs raw socket, that is a privileged operation) so a program that implements ping by itself wo

Would love to see a C compiler equivalent of this, using Undefined Behavior do to actually nasty things to the computer (deleting/creating files, showing random things in stdout, etc.).

There are multiple alternatives for argparse if you look for third-party libraries. The thing that makes argparse particularly useful is because it is in stdlib, so if you use you can create a Python script without external dependencies.

> There's a similar change coming in 3.10 Wow, this is pretty exciting. Hope we also see match being accepted in Python 3.10, so this would make (for me at least) one of the best Python releases in years.

Any language with reflections needs to evaluate types as something meaningful at runtime.

This maybe true, but Google Ads even on YouTube is way less invasive than Samsung ones. And BTW, YouTube Premium disable all ads, while there is no way to have a ad-free experience on Samsung.

Also I really like Python stdlib for those kinda of throwaway scripts. While `cargo` is a far better tool than `pip` for dealing with dependencies, if you don't need to dependencies at all it is even easier, and most times when using P
