  1. @linuxgal

    Note that this isn't Python-specific behaviour. This is required by the IEEE-754 floating-point standard, which Python (and most other runtimes) conform to.

    NaN, Inf, -Inf, comparison rules, exceptions ... it's all in there.

  5. @jonmsterling I once read of someone being complemented for their ability to think outside the box, to which they replied: "there is no box", and then after further thought they added: "you invented the box".

    I write wagering that you might sympathise with such a commentator, who finds themselves explaining to their listener that they might live in, or have their thought constrained by, a box of their own making.

    In a not-wholly-dissimilar vein, I wish that I knew to whom to attribute the quote "there's no such thing as software", which I came across, I assume written by an electrical engineer, when I read for the first time of Single Event Upsets or Bit-Flips.

    As an aside I am also reminded of this short fictional story from @linuxgal techhub.social/@linuxgal/11544

  10. the f-string is inefficient since it needs to create a new string which consumes time and memory

    print(word.upper(), rest)

    does the same and not create a new string.
