In instruments, going for the absolute cheapest one is almost a recipe for disaster. I don't know about violins, but I had piano classes a decade ago and now I'm with clarinet classes. In both cases, the cheapest option would have

> Meta, and big companies with a specialized team might be able to exploit it by making sure their entire stack is GIL-free. Not really. Most of the popular libraries will have nogil versions ready for sure (numpy, pandas, pytorch, etc).

My experience with the multiprocessing module is exactly opposite. It's been a few years since I last used it seriously (I still use Python a lot) mainly because of how bad it was. The main issue is precisely communication between proc

Multiprocessing in Python isn't exactly like forking on other languages. There's no shared Python memory, it's just a new interpreter instance, and then you have to use sharing mechanisms (shared arrays/values, pipes, qu

As far as I know PEP703 includes provisions to make operations on containers thread-safe. That should at least avoid most crashes. Borrowed references can be more problematic, but it seems most cases could be fixed by replacing GetItem with

I’m not sure that most will require rewrites. First, if the extension isn’t being used in a multithreaded environment, nothing should change. Yes, it isn’t thread safe, but it doesn’t really matter in that context. And given how bad GIL-Pyt

It's not as much as "celebrating someone's death" (you can't really celebrate the death of someone you didn't know even existed) as much as pointing out the idiocy of paying 250k dollars to see the Titanic in w

Another, more reasonable hypothesis, is that you were wrong about your preconceptions of cat reproduction. The time to reach sexual maturity seems to be pretty well established, and the number of kittens of course will vary depending on con

AFAIK, passkeys aren't really linked to a domain. It's old-school public-key verification, the server stores your public key and uses it to verify the signature of a challenge they send to your device on login. As long as the diff

This is a US rollout of a restriction that they have already deployed in Latin America and Spain among other countries [1], that they restrict your account to a single household. So, no password sharing with friends. I am honestly surprised

Not really the chorus, but mostly the instrumental part at the beginning (after the, let's say, acoustic-slow part). I think there's some short timings there too.

I think that another example of Metallica doing "whatever" with the timing is just in the previous song in the album, Battery. If you try to follow the beat, it mostly follows a 4/4 but sometimes they just cut it short. I fee

Well, precisely the case for telemetry is to make improvements that aren’t obvious to the users. If they were obvious people would see them and send bug reports. I have used telemetry for mobile apps in the past and now at work to monitor p

You can manage to have things without telemetry, but having telemetry is incredibly useful. I think the example of "how much of our user base actually uses these features" is a very good one, specially in a compiler where maintain
