answer: use Trio (or AnyIO if you're stuck in the asyncio land) and get sane cancel mechanics built-in.

I don't think there's ever been a more concise summary of Rust.

For those thousands of years our only medicine was "ground up unicorn toe".

Man, I didn't realise HTTP alternatives were so serious.

Python does not use semantic versioning and never has.

Hopefully all that money goes into making the GTK file picker better

> Right what we need is a requirements.yaml
It already exists, it's called pyproject.toml. It already existed for years in the form of setup.py. Requirements.txt means that projects can't be automatically installed which contributes massively to the difficulty of getting packages to work.

The proliferation of requirements.txt is one of the key reasons why Python packaging sucks so much.

That was a Simpsons episode. S9E22 Trash of the Titans.

You're not missing anything. WASM's primary purpose is to push unblockable, canvas-drawn ads.

AI risk is essentially Catholicism for tech guys

It may be a convention but in practice if you want to publish your package to Maven Central you need to prove ownership of your group ID domain. (Or ownership of your SCM account, which is in essence another domain).

Sure, let's go with that!
starlevel003 | 2 years ago | on: Wayland Isn't Going to Save the Linux Desktop (2022)
I updated my system recently and KDE under X11 started stuttering all the time, especially when opening new windows (which made using IntelliJ unusable, for example). Switched to Wayland and it just works. That's all it really took for me to go from a "I don't care about Wayland" guy to "I am a Wayland truther" guy.
Similar story for Pipewire; Pulseaudio had crackles and Pipewire didn't. Such is the way of life.
