It is still hard to understand unless you are familiar with the language. Python got popular because it made it simple. Ruby on the other hand encouraged cleverness like what you wrote. I think ruby faded for the same reason perl did. It is

This was the reason what made me chose python over ruby. I wanted a language that I would come back to and still understand what I was trying to do. Ruby looked like its spirit animal was perl.

As someone who learn about those two in late 00's when they both still were and Rails was hot. I believe it was because python prioritized terseness and at the same time readability, while ruby prioritized cleverness often it was harde

I think so. The learning curve is steep at the beginning, but once things click it can be very rewarding. I personally use Nix for having a consistent dev environment for my projects. I think this shows some things nix enables: https:/

I would agree, to not make any contributions. First, small contributing with many people still add up to a lot. Second, is that you typically only need to sign it once, and you might later even forget that you signed it wham making some sma

Not sure, what they will do. But if I was them, I would fork the latest MPL version of the code and license all their contributions as GPL.

I'm not a fan of theirs and I'm puzzled why they have such following. I suspect they actively paying for influencers and people on social media to hype it. Their commercial offering, especially support is subpar to what I'm u

It also first appeared when Russia, invaded Georgia and had few bits that could be dismissed individually but feel like Russia had some influence. It looks like a great tool to get around sanctions.

Had that research being something valuable, you would have a point, but as of now crypto just led to more crypto. That's not a benefit.

That's true, but they aren't doing this to provide internet to villages. As you pointed out, there's not much demand there and that's why no one bothers to provide internet access (I guess the good thing with Starlink an

It's crazy that this economically makes more sense than providing the Internet over a wire. Can we have a law passed that would mandate to lease the last mile to others (kind of like phone companies were required phone lines for DSL) s

I think in your case you might get a better benefit of using pypy and its jit. The way I look at Cython is that it is a tool that allows me to write C code using python syntax. The biggest gains you get is when you use annotation to specify

For me it took some time. Finishing Nix Pills was enough knowledge to start looking into nix and nixpkgs manual and understanding it. I still get frustrated that some new features that are being added are undocumented, though I also noticed

Well, Guix started as Nix with established language, and that didn't really made it better. The Nix language is functional and lazily evaluated, it closely matches how Nix works builds packages, which basically makes it less verbose. E

To me it sounds like criticism of someone who jumped on it but did not want to read documentation, then also spent second time of the blog trying to have Nix run on an unprivileged account with small quota. As for devops task, if it is some

I think the problem is people are assuming that Nix is just one another tool. In reality Nix is a programming language. It is a relatively simple language, but it is also functional and lazily evalated. And while the language is simple, its

The PEP actually states that the nogil version would also have env variable allowing to temporarily enable GIL. Although I guess in practice they might still build separate versions.

I saw some people mentioning changes like changing print statement to print function. That was actually one of the most trivial changes and you could import print_function from __future__ which worked like pragmas. Similar problem could be

It would be more like: does the code support nogil? Because the code that is updated is expected to work with both versions.
