Python won because it's a good and versatile programming language, in the sense that it can do a lot of things well. AND it's the fastest language to learn, if you know English, because it's the programming language clos

Those are not "too smart" engineers. Those are "too dumb" engineers, with a will to prove that they are not that dumb to the rest of the company, or themselves. Explain them that complexity is their worst enemy. They won

Exactly. That is why no politician is pushing for it. Until climate change stings enough that people would bear the cost. Or society collapse (but I doubt it at this point).

This is my reasoning exactly. So let's push it even further, looking for solutions. 1/Ban coal, petrol and gas power plants in the western countries as soon as possible, pushing for fission and renewable+storage, whichever is fast

FHD+ yes, 1920x1200 Sad that there is no option for matte 4K+ I bought my Precision 5750 in late 2020 so my infos might be outdated. Check the description or call a Dell rep.

OK, thanks for explaining that point :). I was expecting this but couldn't find it in the doc nor the release notes.

So, does that mean every string's { need to be doubled to {{? Doesn't that open a big security hole where someone could inject a special string to probe for variables' content?

Thanks, it's good to know! I was not concerned about performance at all. Actually, Postgresql's performance is one of its strong points to me (up to a point when scaling up). I guess there is a point where it all breaks down but I
