Given how primitive the Go GC is, I doubt it'll work at all.

> Separately, if just going for concurrency for i/o, async/await is pretty amazing:
That's not async or concurrent. You're running a synchronous function in an asynchronous task which cancels out.

there's more than enough breakcore out there if you measure music quality like that. theree's definitely more than in the 20th century.

I don't like icons. I like text.

I don't care how much they update it. I will not use the new UI.

2023-28 and 2023-39 aren't any more readable.

making sure that nobody can see ads by ratelimiting them too hard really helps with this, or so I'm told

the post-1.8 codebase awfulness has nothing to do with the source programmer. hell, by 1.13, the game had practically been rewritten at least once over.

It wasn't overlooked. The point is to make it difficult for outside users to access information unless they sign up.

> This "defund de police" bs has been one of the most damaging rhetoric's in American cities. People are being victimized left and right, robberies, rapes, gang violence, etc because some people know there are little to no consequences.
Police budgets haven't actually been defunded, and yet this still happens.

> * If you mean a thing that's meant to be deployed with a bunch of Python dependencies, then `requirements.txt` is probably still your best bet.
This is exactly how we got in this mess. Using ``setup.cfg`` or ``pyproject.toml`` for all projects makes this easy as now your deployable project can be installed via pip like every other one.
1. ``python -m virtualenv .``
2. ``source ./bin/activate.fish``
3. ``pip install -U https://my.program.com/path/to/tarball.tar.xz``

90% of the time when a library says ISO 8601 it doesn't actually implement the more esoteric parts of ISO 8601.
