Besides, the original definition is not reflective of real world needs - which is why it’s morphed to something else.

This is all very “old man yells at cloud”.

Interesting historical note, but things change.

There will never be a Disco Elysium 2, or even a true “spiritual successor”.

That’s ok. We got a great game. That will have to be enough.

Jill Stein the useful idiot?

Both notions are pretty far out there tbh. There is nothing wrong with ethically produced pornography.

The response at PyCon and EuroPython was pretty favorable, and a lot of core devs seem into it. This is definitely gonna happen unless something big comes up.

There was still a bit of discussion about the exact form (3.26 vs 3.2026 etc), but that is handled and I expect it to be on the standards track soon.

Next year. It’s a yearly release cadence.

Also, 3.14 will be the last one in this version numbering scheme. The one after that will be 3.26.

This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.

Make it 5 and I would consider it.

Lemy has such a hard on against nuclear

Maybe you should spend more time outside. Every flavor of nuclear has worse approval ratings than most dirtbag politicians.

I’m seeing reports by antinuclear think tank grifters shoved in my face almost daily…

Why do you think you need to PAY people to oppose nuclear? After seven decades of cockamamie “this time it’s different” schemes most people just moved on.

No. I’m not German. We run our reactors as long as possible because free money is free money ;)

Nuclear technologies missed their window. The use cases where they are the best technical solution now are extremely limited, and that means you can get the investment going to improve them.

It’s a curiosity now.

There’s an alternative timeline where Chernobyl doesn’t happen and we decarbonize by leaning on nuclear in the nineties, then transition to renewables about now. But that’s not our timeline. And if it were, it would be in the past now.

Surely you made a typo? 50 MW is a tenth of the electrical yield of the smallest PWR you can profitably operate.

Who made you king then?

Python has gotten faster, but it’s still nowhere near what you expect from traditional compiled languages. It can’t be.
The trick to writing performant Python code is to get good (native) libraries and let it handle the heavy lifting.

For performance sensitive stuff, the fact that pure Python is very slow really matters. For stuff that’s not performance sensitive (that is, 99% of the code out there) it doesn’t really matter, but even then it’s better to be fast than to be slow.

Now this is not something I would ordinarily have a problem with. I use Python for a reason and it’s not performance. But if I end up writing Python like it’s rust, I might as well do rust and reap the (massive!!!) performance and memory profile benefits too while I’m at it.

My main issue is that you’re going through all that trouble and still get Python-level performance.

I really like Python, but there are better typed languages out there. Also, faster ones.

It goes to another school. You would not know it.
