Amazing

Can you give some examples? Do you mean the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage in 2015? The #metoo movement in 2017? Black Lives Matter protests in 2020?

What do you think has gone too far?

You can be both?

It’s also possible that the military had been using such a device for decades and it was actually prior art that invalidated the patent, but this was lost in the retelling. 🤔

Sorry I should have just deleted that rambling text before posting, but oh well.

To be clear when mention gay there I just mean sexual attraction to the same sex, independent of any attraction or not to the other sex (or non-binary people or whatever).

I find labelling of sexual preferences a bit tedious. Having labels can be handy when they serve as a shorthand, but sexual preferences have all kind of identity-building connotations.

So, personally I think someone who identifies as a man is attracted to other men for any kind of sex, that’s gay. Having preferences for what particular kind of sex doesn’t change that.

I know a lot of people don’t feel that way. For a lot of cultures and people what makes it gay is a man being poked with a dick, whether that’s in your mouth or ass. That’s why when they are trying to figure out risk for diseases they ask if you’ve had sex with a man, not if you’re gay.

My point is that if your variable can be None then you need the same pattern for the length check.

So for the Pythonic version:

if (foo is not None) and not foo:
   ...

For the explicit length check:

if (foo is not None) and (len(foo) == 0):
  ...

Honestly you’re probably better off using type hints and catching such things with static checks and not adding the None check.

You’d need to explicitly check for None if using the len() construct as well, so this doesn’t change the point of the article.

My ad blocker has blocked all pictures on this article, so I can’t say. 😄

Thailand has had a weird strictness around the king for a long time now.

We’ve had a similar ban in the Netherlands for a year or two now. Mobile phones were already not allowed in classes. Kids seem to have survived.

China buys American food, I think.

Maybe block the community if you don’t like the contents?

I mean, the stock market is still up 5% or so from a year ago. Which doesn’t refute your point that it’s disconnected from reality, but rather that the wealthy people are not exactly suffering due to a single day or even a few weeks of market losses.

Sort of like Sulla or Caesar, but without the talent?

This is guy who said “who knew health care could be so complicated?”. We’re still waiting on that health care plan, Donnie!

But they keep taking land, don’t they?

I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.

Cheese is high in fat, making it a bad source of protein for most people. It’s delicious, but no very healthy.

I think it’s fine. I find it more interesting to see how the AI generated pictures are evolving!
