Redoubts··on San Francisco homelessness: Park ranger helps one person at a time

To be direct, construction would look much more like Austin, which has lowered rents by actually builds things, if your vision of the case were true.

To act like housing policy is controlled by developers, even in this contemptuous jest you exude, is delirious and is the remainder of the problem with San Francisco.

Yes. Bad feel-good policies are the vast majority of the problem

Redoubts··on "We're building a new static type checker for Python"

Yeah, mypy uses it themselves for their releases. I think they get 5x speedups empirically

Redoubts··on "We're building a new static type checker for Python"

I've found dmypy very underbaked. It's very easy to get it to regularly crash or pin a CPU indefinitely in my codebase.

Redoubts··on "We're building a new static type checker for Python"

Ditto, same order of magnitude experience; at least for --no-incremental runs.

Part of the problem for me is how easily caches get invalidated. A type error somewhere will invalidate the cache of the file and anything in its dependency tree, which blows a huge hole runtime.

Checking 1 file in a big repo can take 10 seconds, or more than a minute as a result.

> It is mostly sound, doesn't just say "eh we won't check that" half the time

No, but they did kinda say that about `attrs`, which is a big deal for me and my stuff at least. Hopefully this new project can deal with all the crazy dynamic stuff python allows you to get away with.
