Blackmagic's Linux drivers are gratis, but not libre. And of course they aren't upstream. This means that they are only guaranteed to work if you use exactly the same kernel that Blackmagic supports -- we've had all sorts of

Interesting (I'm not a kernel developer). What's the workflow at the subsystem level -- does the maintainer do a `git fetch` followed by `git rebase`? Or is the rebasing done via email patches and `git am`?

According to that documentation you linked, it just polls until `default_max_wait_time` (which defaults to 2 seconds).

A major motivation for the new syntax is to support refactoring (currently moving "yield" into a sub-function makes the calling function no longer a generator). See the PEP's "rationale and goals"[1] and this articl

The "bash-completion" tab completion scripts for "make" do just that (run "make -npq") so presumably it's an acceptable thing to do for interactive use, that works reasonably well for some (most?) makefile
