An opportunistic politician would be wise to draft a bill around surveillance transparency and go to all of the people voting against Section 702 here for support (solid arm twist that backs them into a PR corner).
This isn't really a substantive comment, and to at least one extent it's trivially falsifiable (15 years is before Python 3 became usable, so that alone is a "serious" change in the language).
> pluggable GC and JIT would go along way
One of the points mentioned in the linked discussion is explicitly about ensuring that the JIT design enables multiple implementations.
It seems to have been serious enough; I don't think Python would have succeeded as a language if they hadn't done Python 3.
> Please with your substantive comment comment.
I think binning things as drama isn't substantive, particularly when noting about the linked conversation seems dramatic. I also think they're actually talking about the thing you want (pluggable JIT), so the objection seems incongruous.
> I don't think Python would have succeeded as a language if they hadn't done Python 3.
I assumed Python 2 was pretty much ubiquitous and that the world wasn't adopting Python 3 very quickly for a long time, but I do wonder if the applications I was working with a decade and a half ago (ArcGIS, Blender, Civ4, lots of Red Hat system tools, etc.) biased that viewpoint.
That's debatable. We can't go back in history, but if it were not for ML/data science, I believe python 3 would have killed python. At that time web dev / CLI utilities were major use cases, and that was the time golang became mainstream.
Data science, and then ofc DL being done through python just when python 3 was kinda usable (around 3.3/3.4) was a struck of luck timing-wise.
What limits the length of the lever? The agricultural lever is already crazy long, the manufacturing lever, same. We could be doing the same with less, not more with the same.
Depends on where in the world you're looking. In India, something like 50% of the population works in agriculture. At the scale of India's population that's a significant fraction of the population of the planet, it's more than twice the population of the entire US.
You're not serious, are you?
Who is being "murdered" in Ukraine?
Do those people have any right, or any business to be there?
Whose country is Ukraine anyway?
In the phrase "murder drones", murder describes the the drone itself. It doesn't make a qualitative statement about the murder itself. A murder drone is a type of drone that operates autonomously, without an active operator, like an autonomous landmine. You have over indexed on the word.
