    The top shows Newton’s formula for calculating gravitational force between two bodies. The bottom shows Coulomb’s law for calculating the force between 2 electrically charged particles. The joke is that the Coulomb just copied the formulas from Newton’s that was published nearly a century earlier.




  • What was even the point of introducing the legacy assertion module? We’ve known for decades that using == is not a good idea. They should have just killed it while the thing is experimental, instead of letting it get into the stable module.

    The extra effort required to explicitly import the strict assertion module, instead of getting it by default, is going to lead to lazy developers inadvertently getting the legacy mode, that shouldn’t exist for a new assertion module.
