That's the point. To the customer the pocket is all that matters.

Reducto Ad absurdum: if you break a bowl, do you spend time learning how to glue back the pieces, take it to a shop expert to repair, or simply go to any store and buy a new bowl for $5-10 (Assuming it's at least a decent porcelain bown)? Option 1 will take a lot of time and have a flimsy result, option 2 may cost $100+ upfront, so would only be used for a truly extravagant bowl or something.

well, our lawnmower is metaphorically $5 here, not 500. I see prices around $200 for cheaper lawnmowers, so paying $200/year isn't that much more expensive than say, paying a neighborhood kid $15 every month to mow the lawn.
Well, the blinding is supposed to allow the juniors to speak up when the seniors are making mistakes, so it makes sense its only one way.

And while double blinding sounds nice in theory I'm not so convinced it is that useful in practice, because it requires the reviewer to play along and pretend they can't figure it out from the text alone: if they are able to do that reliably they can probably be trusted to keep an open mind anyway.

Reliable blinding of the author would mean having them consciously copy the style of others and avoiding citing their own previous work, which would be very hard in a small sub-field since they are by definition a sizeable fraction of it!

>> if a thing is made straight it will be because humanity has been stripped out of it

This is a great heuristic for life. The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics does not apply to human behaviour and simple answers to social problems are almost always oversimplified.

If people use your system then get comfortable with many levels of adjustments and tweaks. y=mx+c isn't gonna cut it.

This cognitive bias often manifests as a desire to do a greenfield refactor of an old system, ignoring the value of all the tweaks and shims added over the years to accomodate the real world.
I'll make sure my company never gets on that plane.
> Does that stay true once the GIL turns back on?

In the current nogil implementation, AFAICS, it seems the GIL can't be turned back on so there is no answer yet.

Theoretically, you could have a one-off operation which fixes all objects when the GIL is turned on. However, there's no way to get all objects in Python. gc.get_objects() only returns tracked objects, and there is no way to list untracked objects.

It seems, three fields are exposed on every CPython object in the stable ABI, any change which affects their offsets will break the stable ABI. https://github.com/capi-workgroup/problems/issues/4#issuecom...

> I'm not following why this affects ABI compatibility, sorry.

True, PyType_FromSpec can set tp_alloc to a wrapper function which papers over the difference in what the "allocfunc" should initialise the memory to.

Re performance - merging the change is the only way people will actually start targeting nogil.

There was an extension¹ posted a few years ago² which implements blocking on the client side. The possible issue is there may be some users who you wish to block in the general case that do add value in other threads, so you would have to weigh up those decisions.

However, it feels like a bad idea to me, if only because it reduces community building and curation a little. Without a mass of users taking action via flagging or reporting on community problems the end result will surely just tend towards submissions and comment threads that are simply garbage, as that is what new users would see as the social norms.

All that said, I wouldn't blame people for using it. There do seem to be a few members of this community that I'd not want to know in real life, and given their comments in some threads they'd not want to know me either ;)

Edit: I see you mentioned an extension in another thread, and this may be the same one. Still, I'll leave this here in case others want to see the links.

China growth rivals Japan before stagflation and this despite not benefiting from major help from foreign countries. I am not too fond of their regime but I don’t understand the comment I read here.

If you compare China to its direct neighbour with a similar population, India, you clearly see that they were far more adept at developing their economy. There is a reason the article focus on the diaspora. That’s because the situation inside the country is not that rosy.

I think American have a very biased view of China due to the strong anti-Chinese propaganda going on in your media.
> Pypi has what, 500k projects on it? Many abandoned.

Most of them don't contain C extensions.

> Whom exactly is going to update those?

Its developers of course. Many are presumably watching PEP-703, others will require lobbying by their users. But there is no rush to do so because...

> Or do packages get an automatic “doesn’t work with no-GIL” unless the author explicitly opts to enable it?

> Or do we live in a future where any package, with any dependency may or may not have undefined behaviour in no-GIL mode?

... the interpreter will indeed fall back to enable the GIL if an extension is loaded that doesn't declare support of the no-GIL mode. Additionally, some extensions are actually safe to use without GIL as long as their Python APIs prevent concurrent access to them and thus act like the GIL themselves. In these cases, the interpreter can be forced to run without the GIL.

Isolating the C extension to another process is another possibility to reduce the impact on applications where all others can already run without the GIL. Actually, multiprocessing is already a common approach in the Python ecosystem for concurrent and parallel processing.
I was having recently at a management dinner with an Indian colleague (interestingly I think he's a Christian, not a Hindu) who said "I don't want to live in place with lots of Muslims, they mess things up". It's interesting how brazenly open he was, and this was in a western country. I put forward a strong candidate for his team, who happened to have grown up in Saudi Arabia, and he was inexplicably rejected, although in retrospect it made sense.

The article also brushes up against caste, but doesn't explore the role of caste networks in tech.

If that's the "bridge to the west" that India is pushing, I hope some of those tendencies are stamped out, hard.

It’s very possible for an immigrant to believe themselves dissidents in their country of origin, but still carry over attitudes from there, and even later revert to outright loyalty to the regime there. Just look at many late Soviet emigres, who at the time were pleased to escape the USSR and live in the freedom of the West, but later often looked back nostalgically on the USSR or supported Putin’s attempts to restore it. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens with many PRC emigres.
I would recommend looking at the O-1 and the E-2. The EB5 is a green card category that takes a while now and could impact your travel to the U.S. in the interim.
Surely if it goes well people will see their existing python codebases become more performant with no development required aside from updating some dependencies? Not nobody will notice it.

It seems like it could be a great outcome for developers.
Yes. And it did fail.
It’s not India I am referring to. It’s the Romany people that are of Indian origin.

I'm not supporting the status quo.

What I'm saying is that when we change things we need to have some careful analysis and precise implementation to ensure things are actually improving for the better, and that preferably of the possible alternatives we aren't just choosing a better one, we're choosing the best one. The status quo being awful (and I agree - the US prison system seems pretty awful) does not automatically make all proposed solutions a good (or the best) idea.

The biggest difference I see is that it's much more overt now. Pre-Musk, I think if you asked most people to place Twitter on a political scale, they'd put it somewhere roughly in the neutral ballpark, maybe slightly left of that. Now anyone remotely reasonable would put it firmly on the right of the scale—not far-right, sure, but distinctly right.

Now, I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing. It may be that pre-Musk twitter was just more sneaky about their political bias, covered it up, and were biased to the exact same extent. Or it could be that Musk is just much more biased in his handling of Twitter than pre-Musk was. Both are factors, I'm sure.

That’s why class actions require the assent of a judge. Because they are a compromise between getting justice for the largest number of people, and efficient handling of the cases. It’s imperfect, but so is requiring every one of the millions of individual to file their own lawsuit, or allowing the company to remain liable indefinitely.

Having said that, I assume they are required to make an honest effort to notify affected folks, I got a notification directly in my Facebook notifications a bit ago.
You make a strong point, but it's not clear to me that it addresses the concern of GP. That is to say, I find myself generally in agreement with your post and theirs and don't see a conflict, the clear harms you mention don't seem to me to result from insufficient "diversity" (in this particular sense).
I was going to make a comment similar to this one, but you saved me the time. The fact that this site is not trying to be part of the otherwise global phenomena of politically-correct forced diversity is one of the thing which makes it good.

Consider if your comment could stand alone without that last sentence.
Again a valid point, but there's an incredible variety of languages Indians speak. But you may be right - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu seem to be extraordinarily popular languages.

Actually, now that I think about it, with the raw number of people speaking every language, you may be exactly right! I've been thinking in terms of percentages (x% of the population speaks y language, so it's probably not language that's the binding factor), but with India's sheer size, just the raw population (that x% might be 300 million people), it doesn't matter!
Do you actually live in Eastern Europe? It certainly doesn't seem so. Roma population are one of the saddest sights I've ever seen, there is minimal integration with rest of societies, ans absolutely 0 integration with India, most of population doesn't even understand their history. Also, not sure if you are linking Roma and slavery, at least in East that was absolutely never the case, in contrary there were medieval laws banning them from entering cities etc.

Communism tried to integrate them into society by force (if you didn't work the work state assigned you, you went straight to jail, or gave them whole apartment blocks which they destroyed beyond repair, see [1]), it worked till the iron hand fell with iron curtain and Roma unemployment reached 98-99% levels. Most, at least in Slovakia, continue to live in extremely basic illegal slums, see [2]. Its still quite normal to see naked kids run around in dirt all year long, including heavy snow.

There are massive health and social issues within community, addictions, parasites and other easily treatable sickness, massive amount of incests, by 15 most Roma girls are already mothers (seen it myself in school), standard amount of kids parents have is 10-12 to get most out of social support. States and society basically gave up, there is no quick solution, and solution that may work would take at least 5-10 election periods, so nobody bothers.

people simply don't yell at me. If the town is small enough you may simply want to avoid that interaction ever again and not bother stepping on eggshells.

From my experience living in a small town, unless it was a constant occurrence it would still be pretty quickly forgotten; As you said, experience varies -- I grew up in a place where cordiality and hospitality from retail workers was not the expectation, and having a worker be mildly rude or sarcastic to you would be a common occurrence. So I've kind of internalized being able to just brush that kind of stuff aside...mostly.

Whoa, ok. Amasing.

I am however glad you made this comment.

I want the world to learn about what’s happening in europe. Both east and west are guilty of an ongoing genocide and no one wants to talk about it and rectify this atrocious mistake.

I hope Indians will not take this kindly, because even though Romany are European there are some in their community that are proud of their origin and seek closer ties. And to be fair I would support any political movement that wants to help these people get back on their feet and one way is even more vocal support from India (Mody already acknowledged their origin). Roma people are valuable to Europe. They are a folk that need to emerge and assert their rightful place in Europe’s history.
I mean, I don't think that it's usually a dissident thing. Most of the people I know are here for education/job opportunities/whatever.
There's a basic common misunderstanding that there's a connection between an individual's underlying nonimmigrant status and his or her green card options. There's no connection. Underlying status has no bearing on green card options. The connection is merely coincidental. Green card options are analyzed separately regardless of underlying status. Underlying status can impact timing and travel but not the path. So, as an E-2 you can pursue a green card and the path will depend on your job, your qualifications, etc.

How Compatible Are Western European Dietary Patterns to Climate Targets? Accounting for Uncertainty of Life Cycle Assessments by Applying a Probabilistic Approach

“Without concerted action, we found that the environmental impacts of the food system could increase by 50-90% by 2050 as a result of population growth and the rise of diets high in fats, sugars and meat,” he continued. “In that case, all planetary boundaries related to food production would be surpassed, some of them by more than twofold.”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26231772/

The consumption of animal-sourced food products by humans is one of the most powerful negative forces affecting the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems and biological diversity.

A little math might help.

environmental_impact = number_of_individuals * mean_individual_consumption

We can either choose how to lower mean_individual_consumption, or wait for nature to reduce number_of_individuals forcibly. One way is better than the other.
I read it, though I don't feel like I've benefited at all.

Dang cited examples; you haven't.

You appear to be going on feeling. I'm an intuitive thinker and subject to that myself. When I've collected data, I often realise that I was wrong. So, three possibilities present themselves:

1. You are correct
2. You have a perceptual bias that makes moderation stick out more to you when it is on unorthodox positions
3. Unorthodox opinions may be correlated with negative tendencies such as lack of factual foundation or inflammatory tone, and are moderated for those reasons
Reductionism is a hazard, but overcomplication can also be an unhealthy sign. Epicycles come to mind.

A more practical view is that food is both needed by the body, and at the same time does 'damage' to it.

Causing or promoting cancer may be among that damage. Thus a varied diet is good because:

a) It limits the damage any 1 foodstuff can do, and b) It 'trains' the body to counteract that damage using the widest variety of inputs.

You'd have less damage by eating less, but of course there's a point where the negatives (feeling weak / thirsty, vitamin shortages etc) outweigh the benefits.

Optimum depends on a wiiiiide variety of interacting factors like genetics, environment, activity level, source & processing of foods, cooking methods, gut microbiome, just to name a few.

TLDR; we know 'nothing' about what exactly food does in the body. Food science is not an exact science.

Don't believe me? Go read some food-related scientific studies. The more you dive into the details, the more things become fuzzy. Not to mention in-vitro vs. in-vivo, the difficulty of establishing control groups, and more. In essence it's mostly statistics + theories + lab tests + educated guesswork. And meta-studies. :-)

Nothing wrong with that, btw - as long as those elements are well done, you can still come up with useful findings.
I'm pretty sure the limit was one of his experiments that he's since rolled back on. It may even have been an emergency measure to mitigate the worst effects of another bug, but I'm not sure if he's ever been openly honest about any of this. There was certainly a weekend where the limit was imposed, then raised, then—I think—raised again... and I don't think we've really heard anything about it since.

That still relies on IPC, and the associated kernel overhead to set, ctl and access the shared memory, IN ADDITION to the kernel overhead of having to do a context switch between processes.

Threads only rely on the context switch.
