It is easy in a physical and technical sense, and it also probably be easy in the other senses if the power to make that decision was held by a different group of people than those who currently do. Nobody is saying that it is "easy&qu

His thoughts and opinions are not related to FT's and so while the combo of his article title + a paywall might appear ironic, in reality it's just happenstance, with no deeper meaning or hypocrisy. The "walled gardens"

As a very simple example, here's aiohttp making 10,000 http requests (HEAD requests to a list of different urls) in a single thread but asynchronously vs. ThreadPoolExecutor making them synchronously but across 32 workers (I had to dra

The point is that the use-case here is one where there is far more IO-bound work than CPU-bound.

Python "threads" aren't real threads in the traditional sense because Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) exists, and this means no more than one thread is ever actually running in parallel. They are great for netwo

The intended use-case for this is actually very different from what you describe, and one where aiopandas would be much faster than a ThreadPoolExecutor. Lets say that you have a pandas dataframe and you want to use `pandas.map` to run a

These are two different paradigms. aiopandas is not trying to offload pandas work somewhere else to prevent it from blocking synchronous code, it's trying to let you apply asynchronous functions to pandas operations concurrently while

“I don’t want it” and “nobody wants it” are vastly different things, and in this case the latter is definitely not true. There probably are/will be ways to do age verification fairly accurately, but they will be scary in other ways, an

Look, I don't know if you have seen the movie, and I get that both the film and this TikTok video contain 1) a black cat and 2) a lush green backdrop. But one is a feature film that marvelously captured the mannerisms of its animal cha

The simplified answer is that Spain has greater net neutrality laws than most other places, and on top of that the relevant European Union laws specifically forbid any lawful blocking/enforcement action if it causes a nontrivial amount

Most streaming platforms actually put a lot of effort into combating live soccer broadcast piracy, more than a lot of other types of content. European soccer in is massively popular globally, as is the World Cup. Thus piracy of it is massiv

While massive overreach in the name of fighting piracy it's very on-brand for LaLiga, this seems pretty wild, even for them. I can't help but wonder if perhaps they didn't realize quite how many unrelated, legitimate sites&
