The author, while having a passing familiarity with it obviously, is clearly not a Python expert, so take all the Python stuff with a major grain of salt. Like they claim not to know how to get granular exceptions out of the requests module

Jokes aside, if you walk into your local average middle of the road protestant church, nobody is going to ask you anything besides "New around here? what do you do?" Churches are filled with people with tepid religious convictions

I gave a Lyft driver 4 stars because they got honked at by a car in their blind spot as the Lyft driver was about to change lanes into them. NBD could have, and probably has, happened to anyone. So 4 stars, "drive safety" or "

This is going to get bounced out of court so fast. Most of this is pretty conspiratorial, and even if taken at face value, most of this is not grounds for a lawsuit, or if it is, it's not clear why he'd have standing to sue. I

The TCC step seems unnecessary. If you've got a SectorC C compiler sufficient to compile TCC, it can probably compile the bootstrap compiler used in GCC's 3 stage build process. The bigger issue is probably getting the ancillary t
