Ageism in our industry should be a concern to everyone, regardless of the amount of grey hair they have. We all get old, after all. And more importantly, even if we didn't all get old, it's still wrong to discriminate (we don&#x2

These specs are really impressive. I'm actually in the market for a phone upgrade, and the $700 price is not an objection, given what I'd be supporting. What does concern me is the apparent lack of a verified boot option for the p

Sure, do that. I'm not a Python fanboy, and there were some issues with how the transition was handled. Move to another language if you have the manpower. I think in in this case, since they claim to not even have the manpower to do so

Please don't use Python 2 for any software that anyone else will ever have to work with or maintain. Python 2 is very close to being not supported anymore, which means no more security updates, etc.

How could something like you describe be language independent? Any possible implementation I can think of would have to be integrated with the language, specifically the type system. Edit: I should specify: within the constraints of today&#
