Yes, I agree, but

• they’re not all as nice as that one
• the US is especially bad
• Norwegians who aren’t in prison have a way higher quality of life
• not being able to leave is still a pretty big deal

Norwegian prisons are famously relatively humane compared to most other countries

Probably not

absurd take, literally everyone cares about standards of living, it is almost tautological

Yes, I’m talking about the state owned companies versus both private companies and individual landlords, rents with the state owned ones are like 20% or more lower than the others and they are usually more responsive to fixing problems, don’t play too many games

But I totally agree rents are way out of control the last few years

Yes, that’s ideal. In Germany (where there is a culture much more oriented towards renting than owning) there are a lot of state run landlords and they are great to rent from, reasonable rents, reasonable to deal with (in the local context), etc. And of course they have good laws to protect tenants to back it up. Not necessarily a perfect system but definitely one the rest of the world can learn from. Unfortunately things are still heading in the wrong direction there too right now.

In my experience which is pretty extensive with python but only moderate with typescript I’d say it’s probably better, easier to work with and offers a similar level of flexibility.

Not sure what you mean by performance but it’s easy to be disciplined when you can’t commit something that isn’t fully annotated. I feel like I can trust it fairly well, except for rare occasions where external library code is wrongly annotated and I have to put some ugly shim in.

Afaik you can just go to definition in literally any language, typing or no.

I’m in total agreement about the packaging though, it sucks.

Yes, I love rust and use it regularly, but it is suitable for totally different use cases than python. Have you worked on a python project using strict type checking enforced in CI? It really isn’t so bad.

That’s not an alternative, you always need tests

Type checking for python is not bad these days, just run pyright (or mypy, I would like to prefer the non MS solution, but we have found pyright much more rigorous) on your code. Yes obviously you can still get out of it with an ignore statement, and that might occasionally be necessary for some libraries, but if you enforce no errors in pre-commit or CI then it’s only a little worse than compile time.

where messing up a space breaks everything

Messing up some character breaks everything in any language, skill issue

there is no real type system

What does “real” mean? It’s pretty robust these days.

Even if the tool works perfectly, you have to run it every time you change something. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s still much nicer to just have a macro to derive it at compile time.

It’s not hard, just if you’re doing it for a struct with a lot of fields it’s a lot of boilerplate

Camelcase in python, ew, a fundamentalist would do that

I’ve had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Ok, and also the most extreme islamophobes (India, Sweden, Czechie, Hungary, …). But the division on this map is notably different from the usual one.

Nah it’s you that is not thinking. It is specifically the USA which is the problem. You can see that this map is, unusually, not “always the same map”, with many right wing neoliberal countries (France, Japan, New Zealand, …) voting for this. It’s not at all about the internal political alignment of the countries and just about who is a US proxy.

Ukraine may have a terrible, far right regime, but this vote doesn’t really say much about it, given that their survival currently depends on not pissing off the USA in any way. If their major military support was coming from a country that wanted it the other way around it would’ve been that way, there’s no principle behind it.
