The irony of quoting the Zen of Python in a discussion about a package manager. I can think of at least three Python package managers off the top of my head.

This makes no sense. 20 miles is still a challenge, and how many people run marathons because someone else is impressed if you run 26 miles, but couldn't care less if you run 20?

The Deno people recently released jsr.io, "a modern package registry for JavaScript and TypeScript." I'm not familiar with the technical details, but at first glance it appears pretty centralised.

"Alignment with the far right" is a complete misrepresentation. Framework sponsors a few open source Linux projects, some of which have contributors with controversial opinions. Describing these projects as "far right" i

Several of those were not pandemics (I assume this is why you used the phrase "pandemic scares" as a catch-all). Regardless of official classification, I don't recall any of them having anywhere near the same global impact as

That's your interpretation, and there's nothing in the original statement to support it. You're welcome to your opinion, of course. Just don't project it onto others.

I don't think there was any suggestion that the story should not have been reported, or that only "surprising" facts should be considered news.

I think the point is not that there aren't alternatives—there were plenty of jQuery alternatives—but that React is the dominant force, and this too shall pass.

Just to be clear, the news here is that Pop OS now uses the Cosmic DE (which just reached beta). Unlike the previous Pop OS DE, Cosmic DE is not tied to a particular distro. For example, there's an official Fedora Spin [1]. [1]: https

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by mentioning Hack. At this point it's diverged from PHP to the point that it's basically a different language, is (IIRC) actually slower than PHP 8, and the HHVM doesn'
