To be fair, if you DO find yourself in this moral dilemma you're a shit driver. People don't just teleport into the middle of a crosswalk. If you're going at such a speed to where a granny can make it 3/4rds across the crosswalk but you're going too fast to stop... you're going too fast period.

I mean yeah with no context that looks weird A/F, but given a couple details it's fairly self-evident why it be like it do.
- Python doesn't need a main function. It'll just start running any top level code. This is nice for beginners learning programming because there's no scaffolding or anything to set up. It just do the thing.
- python uses double underscores (usually called "dunder") to mark "special" things.
__name__
is a global variable containing the name of the current module. There's a couple more like__file__
containing the filename of the current module. - If you run a file directly
__name__
gets set to"__main__"
. If it got set to something more sensible like"main"
you couldn't really call a filemain.py
without this breaking. Right now this only breaks for files called__main__.py
but luck would have it that calling a file__main__.py
already has a special meaning which makes these uses not clash. - Sometimes you want code to only run if a module is run but not when it is imported. Checking if
__name__
is set to__main__
is the easiest way to do this.
Python for sure has a bunch of weirdness, but it all does mesh together into a rather nice programming language.
Unless you're hanging a CRT you really don't need to bother screwing into the studs. Get the right type of plug and you can hang some pretty absurd weights from drywall, especially if most of the force is straight down like it would be with a tv mount. I really like the screw-in type plug. Easy to install, no possibility of the toggle not toggling or whatever.
If you want to mount one of those extendo-mounts I'd probably bother to screw it into the studs though, to be fair.
Canon megatank is pretty great too. The only complaint I have is that it's weirdly insistent on having photo paper in the back paper entry, and not in the drawer. Other than that the thing just prints. No cartridge chip shenanigans either because there's no cartridges, and besides the ink is actually affordable compared to cartridges.
Which begs the question, why in the hell is that hole important enough to drill by candlelight? it couldn't've waited until the next day?
