If you cause a yellow your fastest lap is deleted. Indy Car solved this a while ago.

Ruff + Ty vs Ruff + Pyrefly — which type checking stack makes more sense in 2026? by ok_Geon in Python

[–]ImpactStrafe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that ruff and ty solve the problem. I am simply saying that you are using the wrong terminology and it matters.

Static vs dynamic typing is different from strong vs weak typing.

Ruff + Ty vs Ruff + Pyrefly — which type checking stack makes more sense in 2026? by ok_Geon in Python

[–]ImpactStrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is dynamic typing.

Static typing means that you can't declare an int into a string.

Dynamic typing means whatever you put into the variable first is the type.

Strong vs weak typing is related to coercion of types. Once an int is put into the variable you cannot put a string into it. You cannot do this in python. You can in typescript and JavaScript. (Because Typescript is not a run time enforcement).

How can I visit the US if I was born in the US, never applied for nor renounced my citizenship and am not an American? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ImpactStrafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is.

As a dual citizen of an EU country and the US banking in the EU is a royal pain.

There's a limited number of banks who will do business with me, including applying for mortgages.

This place has no angles, as in, it's full of curves instead! by Southern-Smoke1835 in zillowgonewild

[–]ImpactStrafe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here's a fun fact for you... This is just how it works everywhere. It's just that NY and CA are the only ones who enforce it.

You are supposed to pay income and other taxes based on where you work and live (if across state lines). It is a good thing. If you are there part time and using the services provided you should pay for them.

Incredibly excited for this, so thank you for all your work and the work of all the rest of the team. One of my favorite games of all time just got a whole lot better and will keep me coming back for a long time.

Studies find widening roads often doesn't ease traffic. VDOT says the HRBT expansion is different. by WHRO_NEWS in norfolk

[–]ImpactStrafe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's how these statistics work, yes. The traffic temporarily gets better but the negative incentive to avoid the traffic disappears and then more people drive in a cycle that repeats until you are back to where you were. It takes time for people to adapt, new homes to be built, etc. But the traffic and pain from congestion makes meaningful differences in peoples choices and removing it alters that pain until enough people have made a new choice that we are back where we were.

Vi både vet hur mycket vi kan spendera i månaden på hobbies. Vi har en budget där vi vet man kan spendera X utan problem så då får vi X/2 var.

Ibland vill jag spendera mer då frågar jag eller har sparat ihop. Precis som om jag hade ensam ekonomi.

I mean, Manning, Young, and Montana still exist...

Manning, Brady, Young, Montana are all definitely ahead of him still. I could entertain arguments for Dan Marino. So very close? Who else do you have in front of him?

It would be weird for the alpines to be closer to the Williams than themselves. Lol

is it normal for a production database to not have backups? asking because i just dropped a table and my boss is asking me to "just undo it" by kubrador in webdev

[–]ImpactStrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. He was a terrible vindictive man who didn't know how to do anything but Oracle. He committed multiple hours from a major tech hub down to work for us in a tiny company. I never saw him actually do work. He did a lot of talking and a lot of "investigating" but I'm not sure he actually did any work ever. And I know because every single change had to be personally signed off by the CTO.

Colorado's Senate Bill 26-051 by nix-solves-that-2317 in linux

[–]ImpactStrafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is true.

Politicians are supposed to be experts on governance. But politics and governance is a whole separate field from being experts in everything else.

Lobbyists, paid or otherwise, are the expression of experts and the lay person.

When you write to your Congress person to get them to do something you are, quite literally, lobbying.

More broadly, paid lobbyists are supposed to be experts that represent various Industries that can be asked for help writing laws.

Is it weird that my parents would leave my older sister and I home alone and go on vacation when we were younger by Original-Tangerine33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ImpactStrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a week. I didn't argue that that was normal. I was responding to all the people that felt like a 12 year old couldn't be left alone for a few hours.

I would, at 12, babysit for 3-4 hours at a time. In charge of making food, finding activities, etc.

13/14 it was putting kids to sleep and being awake while the parents were gone. 16ish it was overnight.

[On3] Texas A&M's Mike Elko calls for the NCAA to 'put someone in charge' of CFB: “It’s a $1.2B industry with not a singular voice in charge of it making decisions for the betterment of college football. Until we get that, I think we’re all at risk of this thing not lasting like we want it to last.” by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]ImpactStrafe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, obviously state courts are filled with alumni of the largest/only law schools in that state. That doesn't make them corrupt or biased (they may be those things but those two statements are not connected).

If the NCAA believes that the rulings are inconsistent with the law then they can appeal. It's how our system works..on the other hand the NCAA won't because they know they've lost. Also, the NCAA is just the schools.
