That's assuming the AI owners would tolerate the subsistence farmers on their lands (it's obvious that in this scenario, all the land would be bought up by the AI owners eventually).

>Spawning a PYTHON interpreter process might take 30 ms to 300 ms Which is why, at least on Linux, Python's multiprocessing doesn't do that but fork()s the interpreter, which takes low-single-digit ms as well.

I think this will become more common, not just in developing countries but also in the West, where phones are practically mandatory to have and laptops aren't, so lots of kids will get their first programming experience on phones.

Not just considered in PEP 722 - the uv feature is just an implementation of PEP 723 [1] (PEP 722's successor/competitor), which was accepted. Other tools like pipx support it as well. [1]: https://peps.python.org/

CPython doesn't, but there is Mypyc [1] which compiles statically typed Python to faster C extensions leveraging the type information. As usual, this comes with tons of limitations [2] [1]: https://mypyc.readthedocs.io/

A single fixture, yes. If there are many fixtures of the same name in different test modules, it wouldn't work, but that's not how I understood the problem in the blog post, which says >rename every instance of a pytest fixture

But does Rope understand pytest fixtures? I doubt it, but would be happy to be proven wrong.

In PyCharm: Move cursor on any occurence or definition of "database" fixture, press the "Rename" hotkey (Shift+F6), delete old name and type new name, press Enter key to confirm.

PyCharm understands pytest fixtures and if this is really just about a single fixture called "database", it takes 3 seconds to do this refactoring by just renaming it.

I would theoretically prefer that as well, but it doesn't give you shell completion of targets/tasks for free like Make does. So for "UX parity", you'd also have to write a completion script and get users to source
