The other big challenge is from a SAR (structure-activity relationship) point of view, it's completely benign looking from just about any way you look at it. It's two peptides, and a methanol (which yes, gets converted to formalde

I get that countries don't exactly operate like a family budget, but can someone explain what the intended steady state is? There's only really three options: pay it off, keep it at the current debt level (or keep it steady at som

Does the prefix ("user_") get recorded in the DB (so every string in the column starts with the same "user_"), or does are there constraints and other clever chicanery to save those bytes in every record? Or do modern DB

> Bad. Config is not code. Settings should be explicit. DRY is not helpful. I disagree. From experience, there are enough times that configuration requires repetition, loops, interpolation, etc, that you often end up in this gross space

Would this also apply to home directory, eg ~/.meta/.netrc? That would be neat and make backing up a system and synching configs easier. Also, what about .idea/.vscode and related IDE stuff? Those I would definitely consider

Wow, that's pretty awesome! I don't know if WASMpy would be a completely different implementation, or just CPython compiled against a WASM target. Probably the latter. Which has already been done. https://github.com&#x2

What you are describing is basically WASI [1]. Yes there are exploit concerns in the bridge layer, but it is far easier to sandbox these capabilities-based modules, than native programs. For example, many WASM runtimes are written in Rust,

I could see this greatly benefitting python in particular. Compile cpython and all the dependencies against WASM/WASI, bundle WASM wheels, and wrap the whole thing up in a single .wasm binary. Python portability woes are basically solv

What is the overhead for WASM like, vs bare metal? I know containers generally run as fast as regular processes, but I imagine there is some interpretation overhead for WASM.

Can't you just define the symbol color pallet in options? (I'm not a vscode user, I use JetBrains and I just define my own colors)

Yes but every time I've seen it, it's in a small scope, it's very obvious the type of the variable and what it's doing. It's really not as bad as it seems once you spend some time in go.

ROS is verrrrrrry opinionated and a pain to set up in an orthogonal way to other ROS installs. It's also tied very heavily to ubuntu/debian. Putting it all into containers makes many things so much easier (it makes a few things ha

I indirectly referenced it. IIRC the main problems with his approach are the ABI problem and the mutex overhead. He tries to "solve" the performance hit by offsetting with performance gains elsewhere, but that raises the question

What exactly does "running inside a Thread/GilFreeThread" in the context of the cpython runtime mean? You pretty much need an entire copy of the virtual machine code. These are C structs we are talking about here, not some Ru

Python is dynamic AF and Rust's whole shtick is compile-time safety. Python was built from the ground up to be dynamic and "easy", Rust was meticulously designed to be strict and use types to enforce constraints. It's ha

That sounds like a maintenance and stability nightmare, if it's even possible. You are effectively red/blue splitting the entire codebase. PyObject and the GIL touch everything in the codebase.

> C programs unavoidably interact directly with the GIL? Bingo. They don't have to, but often the point of C extensions is performance, which usually means turning on parallelism. E.g. Numpy will release the GIL in order to use ma
