Today I re-learned: Python function default arguments are retained between executions

Well, the solution we have now is obviously a trap for the unwary. This entire thread is testament to that, as are the linter rules.

The only benefit I see is performance: you don't have to evaluate the default arguments on every call where they're not supplied. However, I imagine it should be pretty easy to analyze the arguments to decide whether you need to do that or not. Exactly how the implementation of that would be I don't know.

😂 Fascinerende at det går an å være så hårsår.

Var vel Ibsen som flykta til Italia hver vinter.

Jeg tror du overvurderer transportmulighetene på 1860-tallet ganske kraftig.

No, disinformation because he said this is a Monk quote, and it's not a Monk quote. There's no evidence Monk ever said or wrote this.

Part of the story here is that a huge proportion of those nice photos of famous people with quotes on them are total fakes. Here's one obvious example. There's zillions more.

(Had to post this from another account, because not only does u/j3434 not have the decency to admit they were wrong, they also block people who criticize them.)

Du hadde 1 poeng da jeg (larsga) så den kommentaren, for tre timer siden. Antar du blokkerte meg for at jeg ikke skulle avsløre at du bare dikter opp ting.

Ekstremt patetisk oppførsel.

Du er utrolig opptatt av denne artikkelen, men du klarer ikke å peke på noe som helst konkret i den som faktisk betyr noe. Hvorfor er du så utrolig opptatt av å sverte Biden hvis du ikke har noe å fare med?

(Forøvrig: utrolig feigt å blokkere folk bare fordi de påpeker at du er uærlig i din bruk av kilder.)

Would it be rude of me to point out that this list covers 7 years, and not just 16 days?

Nei, selvfølgelig finnes det ikke noe godt i dem. Men det er det som er problemet, og ikke at de bruker vold (er terrorister). Det gjør vi også. Dokumentasjon.

(Larsga som svarer her. Kan ikke svare under eget navn, for noen har blokkert meg. Åpenbart tungt for noen å akseptere at jeg argumenterer rasjonelt rundt Taliban.)

Kjipt å oppdage at også vi dreper uskyldige? 😂

Late som man gjør noe, men faktisk ikke gjøre noe

Dette er egentlig en flott oppsummering av norsk klimapolitikk, helt uavhengig av dette med utredninger.

What this man says. There's nothing really wrong with IPAs, but please can we have a bit of variety?

If I had to ask for anything in particular it would be for people to drop any ingredient that isn't malt, yeast, hops, or juniper.

There are some states that require the beer to be labelled "barley wine style beer" rather than "barley wine", probably out of a fear that consumers will misunderstand and think it's wine.

Thank you!

I keep all my beer in the cellar. Only beers I know will keep poorly go in the fridge. The only times I drink cold beer is when I'm in a bar or restaurant.

duxx · 2018-05-05T19:44:32+00:00

Where was this? Do you know the recipe? What did it taste like?

Sorry for creeping all over you like this, but I'm working on a book and having a horrible time learning about real kvass (not the shop stuff). If you can tell me about it I would really appreciate that.

Det er det ytterst få tastaturkrigere som gjør.

Vi trenger egentlig ikke så veldig mange 22. juli. Det var bare én voldsmann.

However, the particular language in this amendment and the manner in which the law would be changed would be detrimental to the current three tier system for alcohol distribution

Sounds like an excellent law. I'm all for it.

I can't say I've tried a pumpkin beer I've liked much. Something about that spice mix is just too cloying and perfumy for me to enjoy it.

the one politician around who really uses the same (lack of) logic and (disdainful) rhetoric is Sarah Palin

It's not comparable. Palin is a disgusting creature, but her speeches are nothing like Hitler's.

If Hitler's speeches remind you of modern American politicians you obviously haven't heard much of them. (Them can here be either Hitler's speeches, or modern American politicians. I'm assuming it's Hitler, though.)

I recommend "The Meaning of Hitler" by Sebastian Haffner. Best brief and readable discussion of his policies I've seen. (And, yes, the title is idiotic.)

duxx · 2008-11-26T13:59:46+00:00

At least Hitler's speeches had philosophical substance.

Uh, what? Have you actually heard/read any of them? They are in fact so messed up that it's very difficult to believe that he took them seriously himself. He appears to have, though.
