Yeah, 16.2 x 5.56 microns per ... umm, I think that's what we should expect from a site called "studyfinds". Article sounds bot-generated (whether it is or not -- it sounds that way). Flagging accordingly.

I wonder if analogs can be found -- for example, in the way some people blame themselves for the "crime" of letting a marriage or relationship fail. Or allow themselves to be consumed by guilt when a loved one succumbs to an illn

The emergence of some of the planet's most awful and long-lived dictatorships, you mean. Which completely betrayed the national liberation struggles from which they emerged. I suggest you try visiting some of these countries sometime.

Thanks - so is there anything in the Python space that ticks those boxes, in your view?

Doesn't look like something I'd want to have to debug in a pinch, that's for sure. Is there anything else in Python-land you would go with for the use case you have in mind? Or does pretty much all the async stuff turn on yo

However if agile is used as a foil -- to project an aura of managerial competence, and keep everyone distracted while no one talks about the real problems that need to be solved -- then it also deserves blame.

Agile and estimations, spill overs, etc is such a pain in the ass, it feels like a pseudo-science. A lot of people spend a lot of energy on just this administration while we are way behind on many other things, like proper unit testing, go

So is Reddit content being (usefully) archived anywhere, and if so, where? By "useful" I mean in an easily searchable / navigable / quickly rendering form (not via the Wayback Machine).
