This is the real effect of AI. Non-permissive open source licenses have been on a slow death march for over a decade. They're effectively pointless now. Either you decide to give your code for free to everyone or you don't. Adding

Are you seriously arguing that using short snippets open source code to inspire similar, yet not exactly the same, original code is "stealing code"? Human developers do that all day long. And just because a piece of code exists in

There's no reason for attribution. It's inspired code, not included code. Human coders do the same thing every day.

AI will just make non-permissive open source licenses more pointless than they already are. The GPL and similar licenses have been on a slow death march for over a decade. AI isn't doing anything that Human Intelligence isn't alre

The pricing wouldn't be so bad if their offerings aligned with the market, or at least made sense. Their base level specs are uncompetitive and borderline unusable. There's too much overlap at the lower level between macbook airs

OMG, I can't believe Plone is still kicking. God, please, nobody work on that. It doesn't need to exist any longer.

Because peanuts are oily as all get out and every young kid that eats peanut butter is literally covered in it and will rub it on everything they touch, including kids that don't eat peanuts yet.

By all accounts, most of their demand deposits were invested in US treasuries. Those treasuries are just worth less now because of interest rate hikes and so even if they didn't have to do a fire sale on billions in treasuries, it st

Yeah, but curl is used to access and download all sorts of data, which are all hosted by multi-million dollar companies. Just like git downloads and uploads data to git repositories. curl and git are valuable, but so is GitHub, and websites

To be fair, downtown Los Angeles was dying 20 years ago. Even on the busiest of days, it was dead there. There's nothing at ground level like there is in other cities. And no one takes mass transit so you don't have people walking

I can accept that people can find happiness in vastly different situations, but the "city life" is devoid of a lot of the things that people living in the suburbs and rural areas enjoy that require having a car. People who collect

The problem is that making the government responsible (and liable) creates an incentive for government employees and departments to overreact and treat every situation as harshly as possible, because if they were ever to be reasonable and l

Yes, that exact scenario is supported with TypedDict. And while that is a simple pattern, it's not a good pattern, and quickly becomes unmaintainable in a program of any size. Using *kwargs because of Too-many-arguments and so you can

Rust and Typescript are some of the most well-loved languages, and the typing semantics of python are almost identical. Have you used VSCode? or PyCharm? Their typehinting support is pretty great. At least as good as anything for typescript

The GIL is already set to be optionally removable via a compile-time flag in an upcoming release. That's about as meaty a change as you can get, and it's still not going to require a 4.x release.

Spoken like someone who's never had to step into a 2 million line python library and try to decipher or debug it. Also, we've been using non-standard type hints for nearly all of python 2, they were just non-uniformly specified in

> Python functions have args and kwargs, which make typing significantly more complex Not really. It's only complex when they're used with poor design decisions. There are plenty of languages that allow you to do things that ar

I still think python has a ton of headroom to grow. It's maxing out the data science space, and it does reasonably well in the web service space, but they really have not pushed very far into the distributable GUI and CLI space. Depend

His first example of python's Callable type-hinting not supporting keyword only arguments was true 5 years ago when type hinting was first catching on, but Protocols have existed since python 3.8 and they support keyword only arguments

There's nothing wise or moral about this decision. Mandating a technology standard, purely for personal preference and convenience reasons -- not for reasons related to safety, or pollution, or security -- especially for things that ch
