There is no standard in the Python community for versioning. From this, a lot of projects just never constrained their versions while a lot of other projects assume semver when specifying their version constraints, both wrong. Then there i

First, they don't use semver [0] Python is all over the place with versioning, making it hard to predict what scheme anyone is using. People either falsely assume semver or just don't do any version constraints, both leading to p

They'd basically have to fork Firefox. There isn't a clear distinction between the engine and the browser. They had an embedding API at one point but dropped it because the design made it hard to evolve both. This is on top of p

There is the more powerful version, Tree Style Tabs. Been using it for years and can't switch browsers because of it :). I've seen people talk about Sideberry but I've never tried it.

Maybe it should require a supermajority, like it does to override a veto. That way its only in more extreme cases that congress can interfere.

For all on this thread involved, thank you! Since I was got into programming in middle school, I was obsessed with OS design (yeah, reading the source code for L4 in high school). As I went further in my education, I felt the landscape was

There are several domains of programming with similar but not-quite-the-same requirements - OS - Embedded - Game In some respects, these are pretty niche and there is a lot of value imo in having a single-language that spans them rather tha

So everyone else is focusing on the memory allocation side of ownership. The other side to this is aliasing / borrowing / handling references and mutability. In Python, you might have a `list` that you built up and them pass its

This is reminding me that I'd love to see experiments with macro's for implementing Swift's ABI, not for Swift interop but to explore the space of a more native, unsafe-free SO/DLL ABI for Rust than what C offers.
