Britain loves its beach huts. I must have seen thousands on my recent trip to Kent. They are a direct descendant of the bathing machines of Georgian and Victoriam times, and the changing tents of the Edwardian era. Their heyday was probably the post-war holiday boom of the 1950s, but they remain improbably popular and, in the right location, can change hands for eye-watering sums.

"Next time a council announces a crackdown on cycling due to the activity of delivery riders, perhaps have a think about why and how we have allowed companies to operate with a business model that is more or less predicated on mass illegality."

Local Mississippi election officials changed at least 54 precincts across 24 counties between the March 2024 primaries and October 2024 ahead of the Nov. 5, 2024, election. But not all of those changes are reflected in the Statewide Election Management System, the database from which the online polling place locator tool draws its information. Story written in partnership with @pulitzercenter.
Does anyone know if @readthedocs is working towards supporting PEP-0735 dependency groups?
I'm still using `extra_requirements` (c.f., docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/…) but want to switch over for my documentation requirements!

People seem to use the #Python tag to complain. As they have forever they complain about whitespace. They call Python a toy language only fit for toy projects. They say it is slow. If whitespace is stopping you from even looking, you are small minded. Python is definitely not a toy language and if you think it’s only fit for toy programs then a) you haven’t tried types; and b) you don’t know how to build big programs and would have trouble in any language.

And if you think #Python is slow then you’re not paying attention; you don’t know your algorithms; and you don’t know how to program.
The people who make these comments are ignorant, biased, and angry.

You can save about 20s on pre-commit linting and about 40s on a test matrix:
