I signed up for Google Cloud (free tier) just to try it out. I made the smallest compute VM and played with it. Just after two days I got an email saying that I need to verify my b…

Does anyone have a link to the source code? I was thinking about writing some code in asyncio to compare but I couldn't find the code.

Thanks for letting me know. It is good to be aware of alternatives.

A very important project because it is one of the two browsers on Android that support extensions (the other one is Firefox Mobile). I didn't know it was closed source.

For example take a look at the Python API for Z3. Because of operator overloading it is just beautiful. Much better then raw SMT2. https://ericpony.github.io/z3py-tutorial/guide-ex…

Fair enough. My assumption was that you would consider a source to bytecode compiler an interpreter (to be fair most people do). The next time I say something about Common Lisp I w…

The word "compiler" is so overloaded that every time someone mentions one it turns into an argument. This is the whole transpiler vs compiler vs interpreter vs JIT argument. The tr…

Of course many implementations do compile to machine code but there are also a few that don't (clisp, ecl, abcl). It is really complicated to talk about languages that have multipl…

Isn't Common Lisp's save-lisp-and-die roughly analogous Pyinstaller? I mean they both work but nobody seems to be using them. In my experience Common Lisp code is most commonly dep…

What about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6? It seems to be comparable to the iPad Pro in terms of performance and screen. I tried out an Android tablet a few months ago and it seemed pre…

If you want this on Android it is available in the Termux repository. If you have a flagship device it should be fast enough to be usable.

I can't edit it now but I was talking about the default Reddit app for Android, not the new mobile website. The website was pretty fast for me. But because of these new changes you…

I started seeing this a few days ago. What is even more exasperating is that the default Reddit doesn't support tabs and it is INSANELY slow. I can stream 4K content on YouTube com…

My takeaway was the exact opposite of yours. For example the goto graph seems very intuitive and simple. But it is much more complex to reason about compared to exceptions. My take…

Implementing a minimal Python is pretty easy (even with the huge standard library) but implementing a complete Python implementation is a herculean task. And even after that there …

Yes, I meant the pseudo-code quality of Python (I wish Wikipedia would use Python as it's pseudocode :)). I completely agree that Python is pretty hard to implement. Perhaps you ha…

I guess I was too fixated on the exceptions part of your comment. You are right that due to Python's dynamic nature every line can turn into a runtime exception. Maybe it's because…

Maybe I am missing something but I think every dynamic typing system has this problem. I can't see what this has to do with Python and exceptions in general. It is not like there a…

Can you please elaborate on those problems ? Personally I believe exceptions are the worst way to handle errors, except for all other ways.

I can't speak for other people but the only reason I still use Python is because of it's syntax (but the "one way to do it" is slowly changing). You get much better concurrency wit…
