If you like the look of fire for the ease of creating a cli but wish it automatically did validation based on type annotations, you might like Typer[0]. The pathlib parameters are especially handy, I find. [0] https://github.com&

They are far more similar than you give them credit for. Part of the reason healthcare is so expensive in the US is because people cannot afford to get preventative care and so they wait until they are basically dying and then go to the eme

I don’t complain about how slow NBN Co was. I complain about the fact that it was meant to be FTTP instead of FTTN (premises vs node), and that the only reason it didn’t end up that way is that the Liberal party said basically exactly what

There was another example of this in Australia back in 2016 where some prediction markets offered a novelty bet on what colour tie one of the TV hosts would wear. The host got wind of it and, for fun, changed ties at least five times throug

Many countries, including Australia, do in fact regulate various aspects of casinos and gambling facilities in order to protect the vulnerable. Things like not allowing ATMs in particular areas, lots of signage about addiction and help, man

I suppose the perfectionist in me just doesn't like having N different combinations of exercises saved. I do currently follow a similar model to what you describe when recording complexes in Strong, using the name to hold the rep data,

This looks really cool. I currently track my workouts with the Strong ios app but I’ve been thinking lately about a few things it lacks. One example is missed reps (which Traindown looks like it supports!) I’m a weightlifter that used to be

I admittedly have not looked at the data, but I would have a _very_ hard time believing that the total population of NYC is down 40% based on what I see outside my window and while moving around the city (eg to the go the gym etc). The city

> The middle and lower classes pay basically 0 tax, or even get refunds (negative taxes) This is a common misunderstanding of how taxes work, or specifically what refunds mean. Getting a refund does not mean you paid zero or negative tax

Well, if you want to go to that extreme, probably also ditch any data service hosted by any company that hires an Australian. The law passed was not restricted to Australian corporations, but Australian citizens regardless of where in the w

I have found that the perfect amount of wait time is, conveniently, how long it takes for the natural pressure release to complete after cooking. Normally that's another 10-15 mins or so, but whenever the pressure lock drops so that yo

Many are, somewhat. It’s common for services to have different overage rates at different tiers (eg: starter might be $10/m for 10GB and $0.1/GB after, while pro might be $50/m for 100GB and $0.01/GB after). They also te
