I mean yeah with no context that looks weird A/F, but given a couple details it’s fairly self-evident why it be like it do.

1. Python doesn’t need a main function. It’ll just start running any top level code. This is nice for beginners learning programming because there’s no scaffolding or anything to set up. It just do the thing.
2. python uses double underscores (usually called “dunder”) to mark “special” things. __name__ is a global variable containing the name of the current module. There’s a couple more like __file__ containing the filename of the current module.
3. If you run a file directly __name__ gets set to "__main__". If it got set to something more sensible like "main" you couldn’t really call a file main.py without this breaking. Right now this only breaks for files called __main__.py but luck would have it that calling a file __main__.py already has a special meaning which makes these uses not clash.
4. Sometimes you want code to only run if a module is run but not when it is imported. Checking if __name__ is set to __main__ is the easiest way to do this.

Python for sure has a bunch of weirdness, but it all does mesh together into a rather nice programming language.

It’s almost exactly like that only if the tin hat guy would turn out to be right every single goddamn time in hindsight. RMS is… a character at best, but he sure has some predictive powers.

Try it with sesame seasoning too! Tastes so good

It’s really easy to make a gigantic mess using git if you don’t know what you’re doing. As soon as you learn to keep your history mostly linear all those issues go away.

Being “the goat” or “goated” is good. No clue as to the etymology though.

Ecco sells metal shoehorns that are a) cheapish b) nigh indestructible and c) long. It’s honestly surprising how massive those things are. Could club a burglar to death with one and not dent it.

If the coating is starting to flake you need to stop using them. You’re really not supposed to eat that coating.

Wait what did I miss?

If you put the fan right in the window, it’ll suck the air right back inside around the fan. If you put it farther away the air stream has distance to widen and pull in more air. That way you can get the air stream to “cover” the whole window, Not allowing any to flow back in through that window.

You’ll see this sort of thing in action when firefighters are ventilating a house with fans. They’ll move the fans back until the air stream covers the entire opening it’s aimed at. Any less and the spots the air stream doesn’t hit are gonna have air flowing the wrong way.

A good trick I’ve found is that fans in long hallways are markedly more effective than pretty much anywhere else.
