That's a lot of toilets.

She (Paulina something..?) is rather famously (or infamously) banana-phobic. When the story went viral a handful of other public figures came out to say they had the same, somewhat unusual, phobia.

Sweden's former minister for equality had a particular interest in these.

And as for your specific question: typechecked code doesn't get to production with a type error; it won't compile. There's a common phrase, "left-shifting errors". It means catching bugs as early in the development cycle as possible. In terms of things like developer time (and patience), it's far more cost-effective to do so.

I worked on OpenStack back in the day: millions of lines of untyped Python.

Let's say you've got an X509 certificate. You know you can probably pull the subject out of it - how? Were I using Java (for instance), the types would guide my IDE and make the whole thing discoverable. The prevalent wisdom at the time was that the repl was your friend. "Simply" instantiate an object in the repl then poke at it a bit.

And it's not just that kind of usability barrier. "Where is this used?" is a fantastic IDE tool for rapid code comprehension. It's essentially impossible to answer for a large Python codebase.

Don't get me wrong: python is still a great go-to tool for glue and handy cli tools. For large software projects, the absence of type enforcement is a major impediment to navigation, comprehension and speed of iteration.

There's a way to make two length-two lists from 1, 2, 3, 4 that will give you a counter-example.

That's pretty nuch why every one of these cases has settled before it reached court. The first thing the prosecution would do would be to get documetation of how many times this had happened, and the met policy that knowingly encouraged it.

Wait until you hear why Cambridge exists.

Then help. If you see the problem, help provide the fix. Enthusiasm, energy, and skill raises everyone's game. Whining just compounds the issue.

It's a team sport. You're not a team player. Don't stand there like a lump, "hiding". Create pressure, opportunity, and space for your teammates. The goal of the game is not for you to score. The goal of the game is for your team to score.

You sound like a broken tool.

If you tend to hide, not be available to receive a pass, and not help in a team sport, then you need to reevaluate your level of ability.

Post Sept 11, (lots of) flights were grounded for several days.
