The whitespace doesn’t bother me. Any IDE worth a damn will manage that for you. As for the type system, yeah, I strongly prefer static typing, but for simpler projects I can see the convenience of it.

My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

Python is great for small scripts, proofs-of-concept, and such, but I wouldn’t write anything more heavy-duty than that in it.

No, your intuition is correct, this is extremely cursed.

A friend of mine who hasn’t played Borderlands went to see it. According to him, it’s not even “so bad it’s good,” it’s just flat and boring.

In any sane universe, a presidential candidate being forced to back out right before the convention would be a source of absolute glee for the opposing party. It’d be considered a huge loss of momentum and a sign that the party is disunified and collapsing on itself.

The fact that MAGA is genuinely upset about this really speaks volumes about how resoundingly unpopular Biden is, and what little appeal Trump has to campaign on outside of anti-Biden sentiment.

This timeline is weird as hell…

It’s honestly incredible that Bing even still exists, much less is still being actively being pushed by M$

Good to see they’re branching out with their business model. Can’t just commit to a single strategy these days. Sometimes it helps to rebase your priorities to avoid creating new issues.

Ok, bad jokes aside, how did it taste?

Master of Puppets. I know it’s not a particularly daring choice, but I don’t care, it’s perfection.

Bugs in tests aren’t necessarily exceptions. You could be incorrectly setting up your function inputs, or just making the wrong assertions.

I don’t really get how “overt racism in a job description” is programmer humor, but alright

No resolution of tech debt, ONLY DELIVER

Then another message popped up. This time with a console.warn() logging level, so I just couldn’t ignore it.

That’s how you know this one’s fake. Most unrealistic part of the whole story.

It does some funky things with type coercion and comparison which I don’t particularly like, but I generally understand why it does things that way.

A lot of the weird quirks of JS come from the desire to avoid completely blowing up and crashing as much as possible, which makes sense in a web dev context. Forcing weird operations to at least return something can prevent an unhandled error state in a single component from causing an entire page to crash, even if that component ends up malfunctioning as a result.
