I do indeed and I’m uncertain if their built in video players use DRM. My guess would be probably because they likely used some off the shelf video streaming library and most of those come built on top of restricted technologies.

… and yet… it lacks clear and enforced type restrictions which help with clear code contracts. It’s certainly better than Javascript but the lack of runtime enforced type checking can force defensive programming in an unnecessary manner.

Your statement isn’t strict type checking. It’s a restricted form of type coercion. Given how common this feature is in other languages it’s weird that pythonistas feel so defensive when discussing the feature. I enjoy strict type checking, but that’s my opinion - it makes it a poor choice for the sorts of projects I work on but if it’s good for you then enjoy!

Big if true

… (well, bigger than zero at least)

I think I’ll continue to use ad block guilt free. I support some creators directly through patreon and that’s far more effective than ad revenue.

I think that ad supported video content is pretty darn convenient, but the fact that YouTube is free is a benefit to them, not to me… I don’t think ad supported video content is something that we need and I’d prefer to have reasonably priced subscriptions like Nebula.

This isn’t an issue, though. PHP has the same partial typing flexibility. There are ways to solve that issue and even typed PHP still allows union types including mixed which allows any types.

Considering there is typing in the code why is there no switch to enable type checking at runtime? PHP does this with a per file declare(strict_types) - why would python be unable to have either a global or per file flag to enable checks?

I recently tried out Python. I had no idea it still doesn’t have runtime enforced typing…

I didn’t realize that PHP was decades ahead of it.

AI is a tool and a lot of fields used it successfully prior to the chatgpt craze. It’s excellent for structural extraction and comprehension and it will slowly change the way most of us work but there’s a hell of a craze right now.

And have a valid Apple developer account?

Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?

Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.

I use arch, btw.

It is politically convenient for Isreal to embrace Musk… hence why the ADL was so quick to downplay the nazi salute initially.

Jean Luc Picard of the U-S-S Enterprise says… make it so and fire ze missiles. Even if you are le tired.

Honestly, if you still gave them any credibility you haven’t been paying attention. They have long held the opinion that antizionism is antisemitic.

The Musk salute is more accurately described as a nazi salute because it was.

News corps are being cowardly and the ADL is being about as honest as it ever fucking is.

Honestly? Because we have blogs (and RSS kinda counts as a platform if you squint).

If you’re tech/freedom minded and want to share your thoughts you’re probably just running a blog and following the blogs of other people you find interesting.

The only thing you miss out on with just using blogs is a content prioritization algorithm… but, tbh, are there that many things you actually give a shit about that you’d get overwhelmed and want to ignore some of it? Or did Facebook & other social media stuff just build platforms that constantly shovel random shit at users that requires such an algorithm.

So yea, probably just blogs… optionally collected into an RSS reader.

To quash dissent. India is extremely concerned about Sihk separatists and murders them abroad to send a clear message that if you go against the government there’s no place you’ll be safe. For China it’s less specific but to encourage people to conform to social norms or you’ll be harassed no matter where you go.

Roberts still has this bullshit idea that people respect the court and is likely to push back on any drastic departures with tradition simply out of pride.

Who the fuck knows if the sky will be blue tomorrow but I suspect they’ll not intercede in a temporary injunction.

Maybe we should create a “MAGA is beginning to crack” shitcoin to fund planned parenthood.
