The Python core devs did not have the time or motivation to support the old codepaths in the CPython runtime, and the legacy code was getting in the way of a lot of longtime wants and needs for improving performance, runtime maintainability

I've always felt that sustaining oneself with the life another animal or plant or whatever is the ultimate sign of respect and should be considered an almost sacred act.

The not owing a drink thing reminds me of the concept of rounds. I guess Americans don’t practice it so much, but in Oz it’s kind of expected that people cycle through buying rounds. And there’s always a sense amongst a group of who’s up ne

Is it unusual to be able to play back music in one’s head and hear it almost exactly the same as hearing it aloud? When I imagine music in my mind, the sonic qualities all seem the same as what I heard or hear, though sometimes I’ll mentall

Super rad, dude. I’m stoked to hit some gnarly waves today. It’s gonna be killer, dude. Like, totally. Sorry, I slipped into my SoCal dialect there for a sec.

I can't speak to how good or effective it is, but the issues you mentioned are, I think, why the rust-lang community communicates through Zulip (instead of email, IRC, etc).

I’m being somewhat facetious or jocular when I say this—and somewhat serious—but…I wonder: Is that a reflection of the quality of the software implementation? Or is it a reflection of the hardware it’s trying to implement? Or perhaps it’s r

It’s a sensitive subject for some, I think.

It seems like a very individual natural selection-based idea. I’ve personally always wondered if there could be tribe-level selection for tribes with some non-heterosexual members. But I also have personal experience, and I’ve met others wh

On a more serious, thought out note: It is kind of interesting seeing the rise of home pulse oximeter products (due to the pandemic).

America is culturally all over the map (and literally too I suppose?), maybe more so than Australia. While the child-in-school thing might be universal across each state, there are many places were the word hell isn’t profane. Hell, sometim

Your elementary school teacher would give you dirty looks if you said it, but your teenaged and adult friends would give you high fives and "hell yeahs" right back.

You may not be a physicist but you’d make a convincing string theorist! I say that partly pejoratively, with a Sabine Hossenfelder sort of jocular but judgmental tone. I’m personally excited to see how astrophysicists will take dark matter

I wish the governments of America were more consensus-oriented. Less “enough people were okay with [it]” and more “most interested and affected parties can agree to it and be okay with it.”

I think it’s more like the balloon analogy or baking bread analogy is required because there’s no good way to explain what we observe without either analogies or math or unintuitive descriptions. That doesn’t mean there can’t be a higher sp

Maybe I’m weird, but I love getting lost inside speculative, fictional, or imaginary worlds inside my mind. Granted, those worlds are built from experiences gained outside my mind.

Sorry, I misread the comment upthread. I meant to say the show is an instance of an actual sci-fi show that covers the topic.

Would they need to keep it a secret? Could their own employees have entered the trials?

There's a sci-fi example of this in the TV show Counterpart. Kind of surreal watching it and then becoming a part of a real life pandemic.

Short of breaking backwards compatibility at this point, there’s nothing preventing Git from being as simple as Mercurial CLI-wise. The two projects are nearly identical on a high level.

They’re different in the their implementations of how repositories are stored on disk. Other than that, you’re right in that the two systems have a gigantic (almost one to one) abstract/conceptual overlap.

The real world has plenty of interfaces too. Surely VR will eventually approach the same level of seemingly physical interfaces as the distinction between the real and the virtual starts to break down.

I can't tell if you're talking about legalese or programming. Oh well. Time to go code golfing!

I wish modern society had more guilds in general. So many interesting things are possible when likeminded people come together.

Maybe we should celebrate being divas! Now I'm imagining Lady Gaga's "Fashion" in my head but the lyrics are about coding.

Puzzle games seem like the perfect example of an entire genre that strives to get the difficulty level “just right.” I think Stephen’s Sausage Roll might be my absolute favorite recent example of this. The Talos Principle and the Witness ar

I’m trying to envisage what different lava lamp failures might look like, and I’ve gotta say, there are some entertaining possibilities in that idea.
