The REAL Reason You Should Use Type Hints in Python
This video explains that the true power of type hints in Python lies in how they encourage better code design by prompting developers to think more generically about data structures. The video also highlights the principle that inputs should be as generic as possible (contravariant), while outputs should be as specific as possible (covariant).
The image depicts a gardening scene where a person is trimming a plant. The plant has long, green, grass-like leaves radiating from the base, with several flowering stems topped with green and red blooms. The person's hand, visible on the left side of the image, is holding a pair of orange-handled pruning shears, positioned to cut one of the flowering stems. The background shows a simple, beige wall with vertical lines, suggesting an indoor or sheltered setting. An inset circular image in the upper right corner provides a close-up view of the plant's flowering structure, highlighting the green and red coloration of the blooms. The soil around the plant is brown, indicating a well-maintained garden bed.

Das Bild zeigt eine Anordnung von Snacks auf einem grauen Tragebrett. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein Holz-Schneidebrett mit einem frischen, geschnittenen Baguette, dessen Schnitte mit einer grünen Kräuterfüllung gefüllt sind. Neben dem Brot sind eine Tasse mit geschnittenen Gurken und eine Tasse mit geschnittenen roten Paprikastreifen zu sehen. In der Mitte des Bildes steht ein kleiner Behälter mit Kräuterquark, umgeben von Karottenstäbchen. Im Hintergrund ist ein weißer Heizkörper zu sehen. Die gesamte Anordnung wirkt frisch und appetitlich, ideal für eine gesunde Snackpause.

Das Bild zeigt eine kleine, gemütliche Szene auf einem weißen Tisch. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein gelbes Teller mit Slices von Tomaten, die mit einer weißen, möglicherweise feta, Käseart bedeckt sind und mit Pfeffer bestreut sind. Neben dem Teller steht ein Glas mit einem goldenen, schaumigen Getränk, das wahrscheinlich Bier ist. Rechts vom Glas steht eine grüne Flasche mit der Aufschrift "Süd Naturrauhrhäher", die ein Bier ist. Links vom Teller ist ein schwarzer Topf mit dargestellten, in Würfel geschnittenen weißen Würzfrüchten, möglicherweise Gurken oder Kartoffeln. Hinter dem Teller steht ein schlichter, schwarzer Lampenschirm auf einem schmalen Ständer, der warmes Licht auf die Szene wirft. Im Hintergrund ist eine cremefarbene Wand zu sehen.

The President cited the comments of UN Secretary General António Guterres saying "as aid dries up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. Gaza is a killing field – and civilians are in an endless death loop."
President Higgins also mentioned the response of the Irish Government, which he said is asking all members of the European Union to act together to avoid what would be "a massive loss of life".

in reply to Jesse • • •The video features a cartoon duck with red hair, dressed in a blue sailor outfit, in a room with a large window. Initially, the duck is seen looking out the window, which suddenly shatters, causing the duck to react with surprise and concern. The scene transitions to the duck standing in the middle of the room, which is now in disarray, with broken furniture and debris scattered around. The duck appears distressed, moving around the room and inspecting the damage.
The duck then moves towards a large blue armchair, which is also damaged, and attempts to lift a mattress, causing further destruction. The duck continues to move around the room, pushing the mattress and causing more chaos. The scene shifts to the duck pulling on a wall socket, causing the wall to crack and debris to fall. The duck continues to pull on the cord, leading to more destruction, including a hole in the wall and falling rocks.
Throughout the video, the duck's actions are frantic and destructive, leading to significant damage to the room. The video concludes with the duck still pulling on the cord, causing further destruction.
