Yes, I’m talking about the state owned companies versus both private companies and individual landlords, rents with the state owned ones are like 20% or more lower than the others and they are usually more responsive to fixing problems, don’t play too many games

But I totally agree rents are way out of control the last few years

Yes, that’s ideal. In Germany (where there is a culture much more oriented towards renting than owning) there are a lot of state run landlords and they are great to rent from, reasonable rents, reasonable to deal with (in the local context), etc. And of course they have good laws to protect tenants to back it up. Not necessarily a perfect system but definitely one the rest of the world can learn from. Unfortunately things are still heading in the wrong direction there too right now.

Mastodon doesn’t have low character limits, it’s not terrible for having a conversation

In my experience which is pretty extensive with python but only moderate with typescript I’d say it’s probably better, easier to work with and offers a similar level of flexibility.

Not sure what you mean by performance but it’s easy to be disciplined when you can’t commit something that isn’t fully annotated. I feel like I can trust it fairly well, except for rare occasions where external library code is wrongly annotated and I have to put some ugly shim in.

Afaik you can just go to definition in literally any language, typing or no.

I’m in total agreement about the packaging though, it sucks.

Yes, I love rust and use it regularly, but it is suitable for totally different use cases than python. Have you worked on a python project using strict type checking enforced in CI? It really isn’t so bad.

That’s not an alternative, you always need tests

Type checking for python is not bad these days, just run pyright (or mypy, I would like to prefer the non MS solution, but we have found pyright much more rigorous) on your code. Yes obviously you can still get out of it with an ignore statement, and that might occasionally be necessary for some libraries, but if you enforce no errors in pre-commit or CI then it’s only a little worse than compile time.

where messing up a space breaks everything

Messing up some character breaks everything in any language, skill issue

there is no real type system

What does “real” mean? It’s pretty robust these days.

Even if the tool works perfectly, you have to run it every time you change something. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s still much nicer to just have a macro to derive it at compile time.

It’s not hard, just if you’re doing it for a struct with a lot of fields it’s a lot of boilerplate

I’ve had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

As if Americans have any idea what Bavaria is. And if they could even name one city in Germany it certainly wouldn’t be anything in the south, it’d be Hamburg, because hamburgers lol

I mean, I think it’s fine to make sure your diet contains all these things. If you’re eating vegan (even if you’re not) yeah, do eat beans/lentils/soy etc., for sure. But I think stressing is overkill. If you just eat a good variety of foods you’re likely to get what you need.

Wrong

It’s extremely unlikely that anyone with an even vaguely normal diet isn’t getting all the essential amino acids as those complementary to legumes are found not just in rice but in all grains and seeds. So it’s not just rice, any kind of bread, pasta, oats, barley/spelt/etc. or nuts will do. And soy is pretty much a complete protein.

Yeah, I know it’s got way more expensive here the last few years, but it’s still much cheaper than in the US or on the continent

Groceries are very affordable in the UK if you’re buying simple ingredients like this. Those Italian hard cheeses and the 2 kg of chicken are the most expensive things, probably 3£ and change each, the rest of those items are like 1-2£ each. This is most of a week’s food for like 40£.
