A: Why does RFC 3986 (URI generic syntax) declare the "host" component to be case-insensitive when the syntax rules show it to be case-sensitive? This question probably stems from misunderstanding what case sensitivity is. Being case insensitive does not mean only allowing one case - in fact, it implies the opposite! If one case was treated differently from the other, that would be the definition of case sensitivity. What case insensitivity... (more) |

I assume you're talking about the "Keep my email addresses private" setting. I was under the impression that it only affects "web based Git operations"; i.e. anything you do on GitHub itself. It will just block you from pushing commits with your private email (if you check that option), it won't rewr... (more) |

I don't really see how it "leaves out the software part entirely". It's a problem that can arise during software development, and has practical and generally implementable solutions.

A: What are statements and expressions? Statements and expressions are two syntactic categories that are used by many programming languages. Since they are syntactic, they depend on the programming language's syntax. In a real sense, a statement is "anything that can be used as a statement" and an expression is "anything that can be used a... (more) |

Any particular reason you're writing your own IO trait? Rust provides the `Write` trait which `Stdout` implements, so [you can just pass that in](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=d5c663d2062269fbc0d261a5ba27b453) (more) |

A: How to define an object with different subclasses in an if-statement? What's going on is that the compiler is deciding on what function to call at compile time rather than runtime.

Fair enough. In most cases however, it doesn't *really* matter what scope something is in since it's rather rare (and questionable to do) that you want two identically named variables in the same function in the first place.
Is it bad? Depends on one's sensibilities. I just wanted to make the case... (more) |

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Python's scoping rules are broken. For instance, let's take a simple "Find a value" example:
```py
for value in my_list:
if some_check(value):
result = value
# Use result here
```
In other languages, you would declare `result` outside the l... (more) |

A: What's causing mypy to give an `[assignment]` error in this nested for loop? The problem is that you are using `row` twice with different types. ```py for row in self.diagram: # row is str here ``` ```py for row in self.seeddiagram: # row is list[str] here ``` Renaming one or the other makes the error go away. Why does this happen? Python has some somewhat cou... (more) |

A: What is the purpose of grouping the tests in a `tests` module and is it possible to split them? Grouping related items into modules is of course generally good practice, but it serves a practical purpose as well.
