I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

Isn’t Python already strongly typed?

When WhatsApp got popular in Europe it wasn’t owned by Facebook yet, they only acquired it after it was already the ‘default’ messaging app.

Obligatory individuals don't evolve, populations do.

I know it's just a silly meme but misconceptions about evolution unfortunately seem to be pretty widespread.

How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?

Is this a StarCraft 2 match?

Don’t be afraid to use a car if you have to. Reducing car dependency is great, but if you live in a place without proper infrastructure it can be almost impossible to completely ditch your car. In that case I’d suggest becoming active in local politics to try to improve the situation.

What are players who don’t like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards?

If you're just playing with your friends you can just decide to not use them or make custom proxy versions for the cards you really want to play with. Or you can just play limited, either with a set that doesn't have any UB cards or with your own cube.

Otherwise I guess you can either learn to live with them or just stop playing. For me it's mostly the latter. Universes Beyond, along with absolutely insane power creep especially in Modern and an overwhelming flood of increasingly expensive products have really taken the fun out of the game for me.

I've found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn't work well is one you play a lot. For me it's Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn't with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

You're trivialising a serious issue. If you had actually read the article you'd know that they're definitely not just like any other public school and they're not just "teaching them Chinese and about society". It's an obvious and disgusting attempt to eradicate Tibetan culture.

Definitely Outer Wilds for me too and it isn’t close. Such a great experience.

If it stopped abruptly it would probably be hard to stay on the surface (and alive). But eventually you’d come down again.
