If you still haven't upgraded from a version released 13 years ago to one released 9 years ago, what difference does a slightly faster release tempo make? If it's that much work, something else has gone wrong in the software development process and all the Python upgrades are doing is making that failure harder to ignore.
No. Python versioning pre-dates semver.

That said, point releases (like 3.7.2 vs 3.7.1) are generally considered backwards compatible - they are suppose to "just be" bug fixes and security fixes.

3.x to 3.x+1 has no guarantees about backwards compatibility.
Assuming you mean concurrent rather than parallel as the GIL prevents you from running Python code in parallel. How does the GIL make things easier compared to the finer grained locking found in Jython which allows parallel execution of Python code in threads?

Threads may still be switched between instructions every sys.setswitchinterval milliseconds so every instruction boundary is still a potential thread switch point, leading to all the issues described by Glyph in his Unyielding essay: https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html

Acquired defenses protect human gut microbiome against interspecies antagonism
So a president who basically hands victory after victory to foreign governments and who effectively reduced the toolbox of the United States to shape foreign relations to "sanctions" and "tariffs" is not considered a threat to national security. Everything's fine with that.

But if just one foreign social network app manages to divert some serious attention of US teenagers from Facebook for the first time in Internet history, THAT of course is a threat to national security.

sure here's a comical one:

we were a healthcare company so HIPAA was very prevalent, and so that entailed a locked office which further included either taking your laptop home, or locking it up in a drawer. there were plenty of people who would just leave the laptop on their desks when leaving to go home due to the fact that the office was locked; one day I come into the office and am met with a bunch of coworkers telling me that the CTO came in early today and found that the door was open and all of the laptops people had left lying around were outside in the hallway, stacked. nothing was stolen, but clearly someone had broken in. it made zero sense, and a different coworker said that she felt unsafe and that we should call the police. the CTO immediately said that that was unnecessary and that we should just be more cautious. a few hours later we found out that this was all a ploy/lesson to teach us to lock our laptops away, and that the CTO was the one that stacked them up outside. he was later asking whether he should resign because of this embarrassment. real michael scott shit.

a non comical one:

we needed to build a viable infrastructure and one of our smart engineers found that we could use a hipaa compliant service (aptible) as a fast way, and spend a bit more. however the ancient dudes wanted us to hire some third party consultancy to build out some crazy complicated AWS stack, and unfortunately that was what we ended up doing because hierarchy. the project was being led by a person who wasnt an engineer, and surprise surprise, we were also locked into some crazy contract where regardless of the work they did, we still had to pay them an insane amount of money per month. the project dragged and dragged, and ultimately didnt work out. we had some half assed/half done AWS stack that no one knew how to deal with so NOW we had to hire an infrastructure dude to finish/manage it inhouse. so we hire this "hotshot" who turned out to be literally a money dump as well, and would show up to work about 45% of the time. no one knew what he did. it took him like 7 months to get that other project to SOMEWHAT work. he was getting paid i think like 200k to sit around and really do absolutely nothing. i was also convinced he was addicted to drugs on the side based on his manners when he actually managed to show up to work. by the time i had left, that AWS project was still incomplete and im positive that anyone with half a brain/aws experience could have built that stack in a month and a half.

and then of course there was the day to day of trying to get information from the acquiring company's employees and trying to cut the red tape of actually getting shit done, but they were very clearly used to bureaucracy type of work environment where every decision took ages, and some people were offended by the most minor things when we attempted to speed things along.

This line of discussion seems a bit off the topic of the thread, but I want to respond to you. Based on your last paragraph, it seems to me like it should be pretty clear why there is so much hate for the Chinese government and the companies that act as agents for Chinese government censorship and oppression policies. There are many Chinese nationals suffering and dying in concentration camps _right now_. Am I obliged to engage in whataboutism just to hold the opinion that example and other human rights atrocities are sufficient reason to reject cooperation with the Chinese regime, or the opinion that domestic companies should not become active agents of the the regime’s censorship objectives to do business there?

Your comment seems to conflate all of that criticism with “hate for Chinese people,” which seems unfair and disingenuous since I and presumably many people opposed to the CCCP feel that way because of the fate of all the people currently in China’s borders and subjugated by the regime.

I think the python ‘developers’ this survey targets is only the tip of the iceberg.

I’ve been using python for 15+ years, writing production tools, yet I’m not a developer and this is not the focus of my job. I expect there are vast numbers of Python coders out there who develop meaningful tools using Python and know the language well, but whose main activity is not software dev.

Clearly, the survey reflects the audience targeted by JetBrains i.e. web and data scientists - whatever the latter really means.

Some teachable moments about the soft censorship system are when 1) it misfires, like when a teenager stands around on video with a smile in the general vicinity of a Native American man and has his reputation immediately smeared by multiple national networks and thousands of other highly credentialed professionals, 2) when a dozen major online platforms and infrastructure services "independently" ban the same person in a 72 hour period, or 3) when snippets or leaks come out that demonstrate levers of political control, like the "YouTube Controversial Query Blacklist", or when the Chancellor of Germany asks Mark Zuckerberg on a hot mic to censor certain topics and he agrees.
> I absolutely do not understand why there is so much hate for Chinese people, Chinese companies, or the Chinese government.

> please do not act as if your statements about Chinese nationals

I think it's misleading to bring up the Chinese people in this way: the "hate," if it can even be called that, is for the Chinese government and the CCP. The real or imagined influence of the CCP over Chinese companies is causing the latter to be viewed with greater suspicion.

The Chinese people/Chinese nationals as a group aren't being viewed as antagonists (though unfortunate abbreviations like using "the Chinese" for "the Chinese government" do confuse things sometimes). If anything, I'd bet most people who are critical of the CPP, etc. would see the Chinese people sympathetically as closer to victims than anything else.

What are my options if I want don't want to be a guinea pig running bugging prerelease software, and I want automatic updates because I don't want to accidentally be a chump running outdated software?

As far as I know, unbranded doesn't autoupdate while beta, nightly, and developer are all buggy software for guinea pigs.

Edit: Why are both the responses I've received worded rudely? Did I say something wrong?
Yes. But GP's comment was about the US government, not restrictions placed on content by American companies voluntarily (or due to pressure from the broader US culture). I agree, of course, the US culture is restrictive in some ways, and this can come through in the practices of US companies (the culture is also quite permissive in some ways). But this is different in important ways from the restrictions being imposed by the government.

Would you be able to have a drone fly autopilot around the building, taking a 4k video of the flight - then extract still images from the video at the intervals you desire? (Every 7.5 degrees it seems)

Otherwise, have a sensor or beacon placed in the center of the building which transmits as an anchor point to the drone to fly around, which with custom software could trigger a camera to take a photo every 7.5 degrees in-flight.

Just spit-balling ideas, and have no idea if this tech already exists.

Don't think smart, ethical, and honest matters. Oh sure, those things are great and greatly preferable to the status quo. But the reason why other countries have good homeless policies and why we don't is not because they have unusually honest politicians, I don't think. They're just further left economically, and thus more supportive of the downtrodden.

Neonicotinoids are one of the best and safest pesticide treatments for termites. You dig a narrow ditch around the building's foundation, you mix in the neonicotinoid with the dirt, and you refill the ditch. Used this way there is absolutely no risk to bees or aquaculture.

Neonicotinoids are one of the best and safest pesticide treatments for flea and ticks on cats and dogs. You apply it to the back of their neck and it lasts 30 days. Used this way there is absolutely no risk to bees or aquaculture.

Neonicotinoids, although effective, are not suitable for use in fruit orchards or golf courses, or where they can enter water systems, yet are used in these contexts.

When you buy a neonicotinoid for termite control the instructions explain that it is illegal to use it for those other things. Yet you can instead buy the exact same neonicotinoid for fruit trees where the instructions explain that it is legal for that use. This makes little sense.

Losing neonicotinoids for termite, tick and flea control would be a grave mistake and loss and give no advantage.

Modifying neonicotinoid instructions to ban usages that are obviously causing problems is reasonable.

Sometimes YouTube shows me videos of natural disasters (I have a strong interest in the extremes of physics, weather, nature, etc. generally) and some of those videos feature widespread human suffering on display.

We all know the answer is that the homeless are radically better off in those interventionist countries. Ergo, if we care about results, ours are rather abysmal.

To a certain extent, but it also depends on the domain. The right is very much in favor of government intervention for some things, like who you're allowed to marry, or how you can have sex.

Your comment reminds me of the first line from Peikoff’s Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (OPAR): “Philosophy is not a bauble of the intellect, but a power from which no man can abstain.” There are many intellectual exercises that feel interesting, but do they provide you with the means—the conceptual tools—to live the best life?

If objective reality doesn’t exist, we can’t even have this conversation. How can you reason—that is, use logic—in relation to the non-objective? That would be a contradiction. Sense perception is our means of grasping (not just barely scratching or touching) reality (that which exists). If a man does not accept objective reality, then further discussion is impossible and improper.

Any system which rejects objective reality cannot be the foundation of a good life. It leaves man subject to the whim of an unknown and unknowable world.

For a full validation of free will, I would refer you to Chapter 2 of OPAR. That man has free will is knowable through direct experience. Science has nothing to say about whether you have free will—free will is a priori required for science to be a valid concept. If you don’t have free will, again this entire conversation is moot. What would it mean to make an argument or convince someone? If I give you evidence and reason, I am relying on your faculty of free will to consider my argument and judge it—that is, to decide about it. You might decide on it, you might decide to drift and not consider it, you might even decide to shut your mind to it on purpose. But you do decide.
