Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft: why it's happening & why it could fail.

  • Don't tell me it is law already!

    • Unciv (open-source android/desktop 4x game) 4.17 release!

    Jump

  • That's fun because I was wanting to make my own civ-like game. I've been thinking about that a lot the last 3 days.

    Right now I am just at the "dream big" phase and I love it. I will probably abandon the idea after really working on it because I am a potato. Maybe I could work on that project tho.

    • China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

    Jump

  • It's actually interesting! It means that there is a way out: If europe accepts to help keep the US out of Beijings business. I don't actually know how that could be done. And the EU doesn't have that kind of coesion.

    • We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.

  • This reminds me of the story of engineering students who wanted to test their parachute on the bunny mascot of their department. They threw the poor lagomorph from the top of a building.

    The parachute held, the lil guy's heart did not.

    • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • I dislike treating None as an equivalent for the empy list, but that does not further the discussion...

    I hurt myself in confusion while reading the second quote. Is it the right quote? (also, nazi (relating to the nsdap) is probably not the right word, did you mean fascist?)

    • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • I agree. So if None is a valid input we should check it first, and then check if the length is zero. In this situation, we see a type error only if the programmer screwed up and everything is explicit

  • I don't really understand the point about exceptions. Yeah "not foo" cannot throw an exception. But the program should crash if an invalid input is provided. If the function expects an optional[list] it should be provided with either a list or None, nothing else.

    Jump

  • Passing None to a function expecting a list is the error...

    • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • Well, in your case it is not clear whether you intended to branch in the variable foo being None, or on the list being empty which is semantically very different...

    Thats why it's better to explicitly express whether you want an empty collection (len = 0) or a None value.

  • I really dislike using boolean operators on anything that is not a boolean. I recently made an esception to my rule and got punished... Yeah it is skill issue on my part that I tried to check that a variable equal to 0 was not None using "if variable...". But many programming rules are there to avoid bugs caused by this kind of inattention.

    • This is unfair!

    • Russia has depleted its tank stocks: the industry is not covering combat losses

    Jump

  • Yeah, the fact that Putin is not really pushing for a ceasefire means that they are not as out-of-stock as the headline suggests...

    • [EU] I want to replace an old multi-socket but the majority of the ones sold today don't have this pin? Why is that and does that mean they are not connected to the ground?
