    The problem with the suggestions here is that it puts all your eggs in the same basket. 1Password TOTP? If both your password and the TOTP are in your password manager, you arguabl…

    I'd say Electron apps would exist regardless of the native toolkit quality. The business case is that you're probably already building a website, and if that's the case, why not of…

    The same could be said of America in general. It’s totally unpredictable, and the people in charge are not especially reasonable.

    > However, assertions that web apps are inherently inferior and that web apps are only written by people who couldn't bother to learn native technologies is at best ignorant and at…

    I’ve seen projects do the same, but also issue passkeys. That lets them seamlessly sign in across ecosystem devices.

    The account recovery process for commercial email providers usually involves you photographing your ID. Presumably the post office, in person, would be far less likely to be fooled…

    And what does the Australian government know? Could it collect who you identified with?

    The walrus operator is nice, except in comprehensions. f-strings are great, except for the `=` debugging operator. Dictionary merging and update operators contradict the "one way t…

    It was happening a lot under Guido too, but IMO, Python was arguably a better language (at least in some ways) 10, 15, even 20 years ago. Python's three super powers were readabili…

    What performance fixes do you think were being slowed down by the community?

    Pretty much every heavy traveler I know strives for carryon only. It isn’t always possible and sometimes you check a bag, but if you can do it, the benefits are real. It’s mostly j…

    Runtime and download time are two different things. Pyodide runs at least ~10MB. That's a lot for a web app to handle, for sure. The use case there is most likely either scientific…

    I'm not sure what you mean. The PyScript website?

    You're replacing one interpreted language for another. Yes, Python is among the slower interpreted languages out there, but still. The debate between fast execution and programmer …

    If I may toot my own horn, I wrote a somewhat more opinionated, reactive, frontend framework using PyScript. It's inspired by Vue.js, a bit: https://puepy.dev

    Pyodide is a runtime. PyScript can use Pyodide or MicroPython. MicroPython is actually quite small. On top of the runtime, PyScript gives you some pleasantries and a lot of quality…

    I mean, maybe, but you'd have trouble with sandboxing when you try to open a socket.

    I'm curious what widgets/frontend tooling you use. This is, I assume, Visual Studio for Windows. Have you tried it at all in VS Code or is that a non-starter?

    If the military has fighters that can refuel in the air, why does United refuel on the ground like chumps? First of all, sometimes even AWS makes mistakes and has downtime. They ha…

    Apple's been kicking around the idea of adding ads to maps: https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/08/21/apple-maps-could-... Makes more sense if you consider that.

    Show HN: PuePy – Reactive, component-based Python frontend framework

    Obviously it's not the first Python-based web framework posted here. What's different: - It's based on PyScript, which puts Python in your browser via WebAssembly. There's no trans…
