Related, they also added a match statement with footguns. Python has "jumped the shark" in its recent envy of other languages. :-/ The existing "as" would have worked instead of walrus. I've never seen anyon

It refers to the class, not the instance.

Such extreme short-term thinking, resulting in the propping up of monopolies. At school no less. The point of school is to support society, not corporate earnings. Not to mention any so-called deficiencies could be remedied in two years b

Results, not intentions. Seems you have focused on the "garbage" phrase, but it was not meant to be exactly literal. To clarify, it was rather shorthand for everything these folks do. More specifically, supporting the mentally i

Anything that is expensive is going to be used less than other options that are free. Personally I've worked in VFX, Internet, medical companies, and while there were a few things got photoshoped here and there externally we almost alw

Not every. There's an odd coalition of rural republicans who don't want to pay, in cahoots with inner-city lefties fighting for the freedom to eat out of garbage cans. Add in a court restriction here and there and local governme

There are cheap soft-cover math workbooks for just about every grade level, which are good to keep a kid busy over the summer and not forget everything they learned in that grade. We have one here ... "Spectrum Geometry, Grade 5,&quot

Sounds like you are taking some time off, that's good. Next, there's nothing better than a long hike to clear the mind. Would also cut myself off from most if not all of the internet/tv for a while to allow your own thoughts

I think you're on to something. Though using a browser on any OS has been pretty similar for a few decades, the "scary" thing must be a larger factor than I've considered before.

It's not to advocate for corporate earnings either.

These are newbie children learning their first apps. They don't need "professional" features or ground-breaking UX. Not to mention these apps are generally better than MS stuff from the 90s, which were good enough. Learn a

Yes, freedom to line BillG's pockets, rather than contribute to society.

Everything at our school running over the web. This is not a barrier any longer.

With this logic we'd demand students learn the best proprietary calculator-hardware instead of arithmetic. No, this is not the point of school.

It's unlikely mandating open standards would result in that flavor of lock-in.

They do manage a lot of things, but not the two things OP mentioned and I copied.

Yes, I wrote a letter to my mom and faxed it to her in the late 90s. Cheaper than a long conversation per minute.

fly.io is an great new option with some caveats. They try to be close to users, which seems to have the effect of databases being handled a bit differently. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26746280 - https:/&#

Java was slow at startup, speeding up as it is run. Those two were both improved, with 1000x faster hardware being the final leg of the stool.

Yes, it has from the beginning been a fantastic prototyping tool, with a growing number of exit strategies for when you outgrow it. Or make do when you don't. It's had its deficiencies as well, exacerbated due to lack of investme

The point is you're very productive up front, and have a number of choices with the rest of your time. Few rewrite from the ground up because they don't need to.

Sounds like inexperience or confusion, to be honest. None of those are problems particular to Python. Meanwhile you did not mention any of Python's significant issues, such as performance or deploying end-user apps. But it is best-in

Indentation has never been a problem with any of the code bases I've ever used. Ok, maybe there was that one script with tabs in it from ~2003? Not using a programming editor? I select the text and hit Tab or Shift+Tab, not exactly r
