This isn't an issue with the language, it's an issue with the common implementation of the language. It will be remedied by either fixing CPython, or by switching to a different implementation. (If neither happens, then I guess i

Very cool. Are there similar documents available for any other games that we would be familiar with? I imagine it could be a pretty interesting exercise to read over a handful of these from different teams.

Surely it's the latter. Driverless cars that rely on Internet access would not be feasible, for obvious reasons. Driverless cars will likely eventually communicate via some peer-to-peer wireless technology, but I would assume that wou

Distributions manage the namespace of executables. Well, they're supposed to anyway... that's much of the complaint here about Linux Mint. In Fedora (and most distros), programs with an executable name overlapping another program

Pick a Python 3 feature and let us know how you would implement it in Python 2.

I'm left to guess at what you mean by this exactly, but, .gitignore only helps with things that are agreed to be ignored by everyone. Files that are more specific to a particular developer or workflow don't always fit in there we
