My point is that if your variable can be None then you need the same pattern for the length check.

So for the Pythonic version:

if (foo is not None) and not foo:
   ...

For the explicit length check:

if (foo is not None) and (len(foo) == 0):
  ...

Honestly you’re probably better off using type hints and catching such things with static checks and not adding the None check.

You’d need to explicitly check for None if using the len() construct as well, so this doesn’t change the point of the article.

My ad blocker has blocked all pictures on this article, so I can’t say. 😄

We’ve had a similar ban in the Netherlands for a year or two now. Mobile phones were already not allowed in classes. Kids seem to have survived.

I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.

I always look on itch.io and GoG first!

Yes the article says to leave your phone if you can, and to use a burner phone otherwise.

$1 $2 per month is expensive? 🤣
