I loved it even less when a Python type error crashed a UAV I was flying 😂 (it was only a student competition, but still)
@lthms Indeed I checked, only record fields and class methods can be given a higher-order polymorphic type 😔
@lthms If that's the only solution, I find that frustrating too.
@lthms is that so? Huh.
@h_d I see. Thanks for the info
@h_d I guess an explanation inside that page of what duplicating a file descriptor actually means in POSIX would have helped

This page is the least clear manual I've ever read

@idlestate People are strange
@idlestate plus I don't have anything against opt-in telemetry per se, although I admit I don't trust many people to get the anonymization right
@idlestate Moving on the spectrum does not imply that you'll slide all the way to the other end
It's libre software, no one has enough time or money to solve all the issues, so make this report info optional and work with what people will give you
Yes, it will make it easier for the devs to pinpoint the issue, but it will deter 80 % of potential bug reporters.
hot take: Requesting bug reporters to fill out a bunch of fields, some requiring a sizeable amount of time or skill—e.g. “launch the window manager in debug mode, reproduce the problem, then exit”, or “try to reproduce with the default configuration file, only send a minimal file”—is yet another barrier to improvement of libre software quality
