@michaelgemar @elyn @aburka it is also possible to have fungi and like cats, though of course you may "have" fungi in the same way you "have" cats, ie you are their staff, so the question of ownership is at the very least complex.... I need to go and lie down.

@robparsons @michaelgemar @elyn I recommend clotrimazole

There are dozens of us. Dozens!
But it's not a cult. Those weird people from beige.party, they're a cult but us? Nope, we're definitely not a cult.

@elyn Welcome to Mastodon! Come for the toots, stay for the company

@elyn as you do lol

@autisticplushy hey there

@elyn This tracks.

@aburka @robparsons @michaelgemar but that'll de-fun the guys

@elyn Yeah, I advise folks to steer clear of the core type machinery implementation unless they actually *want* to stretch their brains into weird shapes in order to understand it. Lots of "this isn't quite true yet, but it will be true before it needs to be true, just trust us on that, computer".
I also love the fact that it is all completely *un*necessary knowledge for folks that just want to use Python without worrying about the fiddly details of how it works.
@ancoghlan I love fiddly details and non-euclidean neurology! It's good compilers don't appear to be conscious. I can't fathom the depths of their paranoia if they had to experience all the lies and coercion we put them through

That's a hit toot on Mastodon
I got it from the trending bot so, yeah, that's indeed a hit toot on Mastodon -

@elyn Some days I wake up and decide I want to invent a new type of number. I'm glad Python supports this.

@elyn you found The Place (tm)

@elyn omg I was right holy shit

@elyn @ancoghlan a lot of the python internal type machinery was added before python had spellable types, which now shows up as those strange breaks in the type math.
there's a similar case where `float` actually means `float | int`, so there's now no way of saying just float, no int, even though `isinstance(1, float) == False`.
