That is not all what I did. But there are several languages/ecosystems which are very prone to such issues - notably C and C++. It is critical important (in my opinion) that Python does not regress to anywhere near that state. This might seem like an invalid concern - after all Python is a high-level, memory-safe language - right? The problem is that use of extensions (mostly in C or C++) are very common, and they rely on particular semantics - which are now changing. A vast amount of Python programs make use of such extensions, probably the majority of programs (even if excluding the standard library). Some of the biggest challenges around nogil and multi-threading in Python are mostly around extension/C related stuff. It was notably also on of the main challenges faced by PyPy. So maybe it's actually a little bit tricky to get right - and not just the developers being stupid or lazy ;) I mean in addition to the the usual general trickiness of major changes making to the core of an interpreter relied by thousands of companies/projects, in a wide range of fields, built over decades, with varying level of quality and maintenance....
Books are better in book form for one simple reason: Spatiality and tactility. Skimming, skipping pages, marking and jumping between different parts of the book. These actions are all extremely easy, intuitive and convenient with a paper book. There's no replacement for digital books. Using a mouse means you're no longer interacting directly with the medium and even if you do use a touchscreen, digital books aren't designed to be used or interacted with in any sane way.

HEB is a great experience in my area. Kroger is awful by comparison. It's kind of wild watching people pull into their parking lot when HEB is literally right across the same street.

I also have the option of driving to Whole Foods another 5 minutes away, but I don't see the point because HEB is so close to the quality I am seeking most of the time. It's also open at 6am every day so I can get in and out instantly.

Our judgment of societal ills and the concept of "evil" rests too much on the question of "is this a bad person?" today. Most people who do heinous things are not bad people, but the fact that they did bad things really ought to be enough to mete out punishment.

Lack of foresight isn't a virtue, it's as much of a vice as knowing the consequences and ignoring them. If you lack foresight and that causes you to commit fraud, you committed fraud, plain and simple. That is evil.
I started to use it for fun side projects. Smalltalk thinking is very different from „mainstream“ programming paradigmns (everything is an object) and so refreshing (you can also inspect everything in runtime). Cuis rendering was so much better than Pharo out of the box and it provides native vector graphics… so yes, i am a fan of Cuis.

I have a game project. But I always get nerd sniped by cool game stuff, and want to implement them myself. My progress so far could probably have been achieved in a 48h gamejam if I just used/bought existing assets. Instead I have also spent weekends playing with water shaders and getting them to look how I want.

But my game is a puzzle game. I don't need water, except that I now have a cool splash screen..

Very neat! I'm hydrodynamics by background and I wondered a long time ago why this kind of approach was not used as I always found ocean waves to look awful in movies. Once you describe ocean sea state in frequency domain, it is quite easy to give to floating objects like ships realistic motions using what we called RAO in this field (linear operator). You can also model sea disturbance (diffracted and radiated waves) caused by an object in a similar fashion.

Noping out of europe would create a vacuum that would be filled by a competitor who would fully comply with the consumer protecting EU rules. Rules that many consumers in other nations would love to have themselves but don't because of regulatory capture and regular corruption. Those consumer friendly products would become popular outside of Europe. Big-US-monopoly-company would lose dominance. They would either have to change to be more consumer friendly or eat the loss of market share.
I had not thought about the paging-back issue until you mentioned it, but I recognize in myself what you have said about it. Our brains and sensorimotor systems are developed for direct interaction with the physical world, not through proxies (though we can get pretty good with decent proxies through practice.)

On the other hand, being able to search is invaluable, as is the ability to have the footnote pages open in a separate window, if the software does not provide a better option. Finally, I can't imagine a good interface that is not pencil-like for sketching diagrams.

The thing about data sheets is you have to watch out for your own assumptions when reading them. If it doesn't explicitly say it'll do X... it won't, no matter how common it is in other parts of the same type.

It might help but you have to be the backstop when it comes to the final call. Measuring the false positive/false negative rate could be tedious, but it's important to have a good estimate of, in order to use it wisely.

I think the gist of the "last time the name is spoken" idea refers to people who knew the deceased, their personal history, character, etc., so their existence ceases not just with the biological death, but also with the social, when the last person who remembers them dies.

If one discovers the name some millennia later, the character and its quirks are at best reconstructed rather than remembered, so you have the equivalent of a Frankenstein simulation of the original.

After researchers lose interest in them, that's the third death. At that point, the entity waits in inexistence without hope for some future PhD candidate with a good idea/proposal. The citation count is probably what's left until then, until Google shuts Scholar down.
Because you didn't think of it then.

You thought of it 20 years ago and didn't do it, and you're considering it again now.

Instead of telling yourself it is too late to do it now, just go for it, so that in 20 years more you will be happy you planted this tree.
Not everywhere. All the grocery stores near me are either Albertsons/Kroger owned, or from smaller chains (Fresh Market, Trader Joe's). And Whole Foods, but that's Amazon now.
I've been curious as to why there aren't any "virtual" grocery stores. With so many people willing to pay for grocery delivery and meal delivery, why not cut out the middleman? It feels like there may be many opportunities to optimize away costs and compete with brick-and-mortar grocery stores.

Not only that,but with a proper virtual grocery store, inventory should be much easier to keep up with. I would even expect things like live video stream of the items and being able to pick specific items (useful for perishables like fruits and such).

Whitespace is semantically significant in nearly all modern programming languages, the difference is that with Python it is completely significant for both the humans and the tools - it is syntactically significant.

I've actively used Python for a quarter of a century (solo, with small teams, with large teams, and with whole dev orgs) and the number of times that not having redundant block delimiters has caused problems is vanishingly small and, interestingly, is on par with the number of times I've had problems with redundant block delimiters getting out of sync, i.e. some variation of

if (a > b)
i++;
j++;

Anytime I switch from Python to another language for awhile, one of the first annoying things is the need to add braces everywhere, and it really rubs because you are reminded how unnecessary they are.

Anyway, you can always write #end if you'd like. ;-)
People like us think scientists care about big-money things, but they largely don't care about that stuff as much as they care about prestige in their field. Prominent scientists get huge rewards of power and influence, as well as indirect money from leveraging that influence. When you start to think that way, the incentives for fraud become very "minor" and "petty" compared to what you are thinking of.
The speedup is mostly because of using a faster library, not because of the language.

I used py2many, a transpiler that can handle many simple language constructs and then modified the calls to json library to something that works.

The hard part of writing such utilities in python and getting a small, faster binary is library call translation. For this, py2many provides a framework. But someone needs to write library to library mappings.

Recently, py2many added a backend for mojo. It's very early in the game. But if mojo provides a python compatible stdlib, it becomes a lot more interesting as a backend.

Rust's Rayon could probably have a mode with additional heuristics, so it wouldn't multi-thread if it guessed the memory usage increase or overhead would be too much.

Not really automatic, but for some iterator chains you can just slap an adapter on.

Currently you have to think and benchmark, but for some scripting type applications the increased overhead of the heuristics might be justified, as long as it was a new mode.

SunVox: Powerful Modular Synthesizer and DAW
The biggest use case (that I am aware of) of GIL-less Python is for parallel feeding data into ML model training.

* PyTorch currently uses `multiprocessing` for that, but it is fraught with bugs and with less than ideal performance, which is sorely needed for ML training (it can starve the GPU).

* Tensorflow just discards Python for data loading. Its data loaders are actually in C++ so it has no performance problems. But it is so inflexible that it is always painful for me to load data in TF.

Given how hot ML is, and how Python is currently the major language for ML, it makes sense for them to optimize for this.
To an extent you can get away with just sampling the output of the water shader to work out the water's effective height at any given point. Big changes in height, or buoyancy for non-static objects, indicate bigger angles hitting the waves and you can fake some splashes with particles while the wave itself just gets occluded. Apply forces at just three or four points and you can make a boat rock pretty believably on top of this kind of water.
I understand and sympathize with your point of view, but a general bars open policy with a kernel is not a necessity for general computing. Let's focus on the idea that you don't have to vet your code by the maker of the device, not that your tentacular code needs to access every single memory address.

I didnot make a "claim" I merely quoted PG and Sam about the age when they met.
You seem to obsessed about him being in early 20s, not sure why thats relevant here or why its so important to you. You should tell that PG to go issue a correction and "take responsibility" about misquoting Sam's age if thats so important to you. I don't have creepy obsession with teenager's ages.

Oh yea you would rather run way and feel smug about some pedantic age thing than substantiate why you think same was "impressive" when he met 20s.
This is great, but this approach will break down a bit for REALLY big waves as they become non-linear. Water waves are not sinusoidal, but are close enough for small and medium wave heights that these methods work really well. The big big waves are not only much farther from sinusoidal but the waves start interacting with each in a non-linear way that can't be captured by the linear superposition approach used here.

So for most sea states, this is fantastic. But if you want to do the 'perfect storm' wave or something like that, you need to use a different approach for realism.

Indeed, this is a common vector for leaking PII and sensitive data. For example, what looks like an innocuous logging/print statement in an exception handler ends up leaking all sorts of data.

And it gets more messy when you start to ingest and warehouse data logs for on-call monitoring/analytics/etc, and now you have PII floating around in all sorts of data stores that need to be scrubbed.

In a previous job, we handled credit card numbers. We added PII detectors to logging libraries that would scrub anything that looked like a credit card number. We used client-side encryption where the credit card numbers are encrypted on the client before sending to the backend, so the backend systems never see the plain credit card numbers, except for the system that tokenizes them.

Taking this seriously, I'm not sure how to establish "truth to the story" besides surveys, which will always have biases. I'm sure TFA comments are biased by self-selection. I can only offer here some personal experience.

I have mostly worked outside the USA over many years, but the COVID disruptions and consequences have kept me here more. As a result, I've been interacting with local offices of various sorts that I had largely avoided for nearly a generation. I have been constantly exasperated at the performance of the youngest cohort of office workers. They usually will not bother to answer business communications. They seem unable to follow any but the simplest directions. Work frequently doesn't get done because they just didn't feel like it. I wonder how businesses will survive as they become more reliant them.

On the other hand, if people who don't care enough to compile it for themselves try it out, the Python devs can be flooded with complaints and bug reports that effectively come down to it being in alpha.

You get both sides (yes, you might limit some who would otherwise try it out).

I think requiring people to compile to try out such a still-fraught, alpha-level feature isn't too onerous. (And that's only from official sources; third parties can offer compiled versions to their hearts' content!)

I'm talking about a wide range of jobs -- draftswoman, ship's engineer and structural engineer, typist, teacher -- held by people who grew up during the major existential struggles that were the great depression and the second world war. Working as a typist in the 1940s and 1950s was not some kind of utopian magical job full of meaning, but my grandmother could still hit a higher WPM than I can and she was proud of what she'd done. Earning an income was a means of doing things that she would never have been able to do otherwise. She felt lucky to be able to do things like take a ship to Europe without a chaperone and using money she'd earned, given that her mother's generation of women would have found it much harder.

My experience has been that older people often have a different outlook on life than what people my age, including me, would predict. Part of that is experience, part is coming from a different time where the baseline for quality of life was lower, and I suspect part of it is rose-tinted glasses.
