Yeah, some framework to encourage reactive design patterns. At least for Thespian, it allows you to use different system bases like multiprocTCPBase or multiprocUDPbase to run your actors on, which all inherit from a common systemBase class

Hey thanks for commenting! Yeah I think with CPU bound work a lot of the popular effective Python libraries are going to be mostly C-based with Python bindings. I’m not sure how error handling between Python and C currently is but for Pytho

Maybe a better way I could phrase my concern would be whether the benefit to having the debate outweighs the cost, and what metrics Rust might keep track of that inform what the cost may be at every stage of the discussion. The debate will

@steveklabnik My apologies if I appeared to make light of the Rust community’s contributions. My definition of religious war is butting heads about problems that don’t have a clear right answer (tabs/spaces). If there are new things co

I'm not familiar around the syntax, but I'm interested to know how much of this was a religious battle and how much of it results in meaningful complications for user code down the line. I've heard really good things about th

I think it's probably more of a psychological issue. I doubt even a Roman emperor would really care if he got this disease, since he wouldn't know about the cure. It'd be God's will, or something, and he'd die in a

Ahahaha... One company I worked for had a great website. One of my coworkers worked on it as his baby and took great care of it. Rest of the software stack was a dumpster fire. One other coworker came on board because they thought "no

I think I read somewhere that we actually lost the technology to build the Saturn V; the fab tools, the blueprints, and the skilled labor isn’t there anymore. It’s like Damascus steel or Roman concrete or Greek fire. We may have to reinvent

Commercial research is decently different from academic research, which is what I think Rob may be referring to. Commercial research needs to keep in mind the existing legacy systems used by the sponsor. Innovations are more evolutionary in

This seems like a vast swath of things to deprecate with one PEP, but it looks like the author of the PEP talked with a large number of core developers about issues that they had with the stdlib and decided deprecated packages that way, whi

This is amazing to me from an outsider's point of view; I thought Binomial was a two-person shop (idk if they expanded recently). To be able to partner with Google and Chrome Media on an equal level just doesn't seem possible to m

From my limited understanding, I think Eric Snow’s push to use subinterpreters is to move an orchestration layer for multiple Python processes from the service layer to the language layer. It may also modularize Pythons’s C API scope. It ma

You’re right; you can retake the Step 1 up to six times. However, you can retake it if you fail, you can’t retake if you pass. AFAIR that’s what my friends were worried about; you can retake if you fail but if you were planning on failing w

Not surprised at all. I have friends still in med school. Apparently there’s an exam called the Step 1 where you can only take it once, and if you pass but don’t do well enough then you get shipped to somewhere not great to do your residenc

I agree with Amber’s point that more stuff should be moved from the standard library to PyPI. I made my first pull request to CPython during the development sprints this year, and it’s honestly not the best experience. Everything is built f

I think for things like business chat, since the purchasers of the product are different from the users, and not completely aligned with them 1:1, VC-backed companies with the connections and credibility to said stakeholders may have a much

I haven't used Black in production; does it work well with a fully explicit .pylintrc file, or does it do its own thing? I think interop with Pylint would make or break such a tool for me.

I’ve found the editor to not be as great when it comes to including code blocks, widgets, or other javascript I want to execute. Hugo is a lot more flexible in that sense. You can include graphviz and charts.js no problem, and keep your net

Your English is great, and it’s great that you prioritize shipping over worrying about which blogging platform to use. Shipping is very important. That being said, I do think a small investment into moving onto your own platform may be wort

That doesn't sound fair unless the acceptance test suite is available to the candidate before final submission. In which case, depending on how the infrastructure is set up, could be expensive or slow. Seems to be a lose-lose situation

@steveklabnik what would you say are the core tenets of Rust's success? From Python's side (as a Python prosumer), I'd say Python's core tenets may be: - Building an explicitly and observably welcoming open source commun

I find that true too. Friends from mutual interest oftentimes are friends of convenience. You don't know them for their intrinsic value, you only know them by what they bring to the table. And it sucks.

Wow, congrats to the OTP contributors, this looks like a lot of work! I’ve heard that the BEAM VM byte code is not well documented (maybe in comparison to JVM bytecode), which is one reason that Elixir transpired to Erlang first; is this tr
