<p>Today we celebrate the halfway point on our voyage from Cape Town to Sint Maarten.</p>

Despite not knowing anything about you aside from what you post here, and the code you’ve written that I’ve reviewed, I’m glad you’re out of the hospital and that a worse outcome didn’t happen. I’m sorry that terrible people are terrible. I’m also sorry that cops. Fucking cops.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> yeah, I can imagine that. Take care</p>

Rather than store multiple copies of static variables, all variables will point to the same set of values.</p><p>```<br />a = 42<br />b = 42<br />c = float(&#39;nan&#39;)<br />d = float(&#39;nan&#39;)</p><p>assert id(a) == id(b)<br />assert id(c) != id(d)<br />```</p><p>Interning doesn&#39;t happen for nan values because it relies on the fact that the two values are equal.</p>

This is just part of the general trend in American English to replace all vowels with schwa.</p>
