As a graduate from good university in computer science who is struggling to find a job. Go learn something that can be aided by code, but don’t make code the center of your career…

I bought the 4 a few months before they announced the 5. I felt betrayed because I expected them to announce a fairphone 4+, like they did with the 3… I was expecting them to make phones of theseus that you can upgrade for years but that’s clearly not what they are going for :(

I hope that there are components from the 6 that can be used to upgrade the 5

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.

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?)

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.

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 had never heard of Democracy Manifest before coming to lemmy. I am loving this subculture in strad of reddit’s

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…

Please tarrif those american trucks! please please please!

In switzerland the power is very close to the people. We’re not a country controled by the elite in the shadows. Here the vote was very tight showing that there was genuine concern in the population about overly strong tennant protection.

I don’t want to see trust eroded in a political system that represents the oppinion of the people well.
