    yeah, no. security evaluations cost a ton, and they take time. apple is doing nothing at all, just charging for being in a premium market.

    Nice article! But I couldn't help but notice that when `_PyCompile_AstOptimize` fails (<0), then `arena` is never freed. I think this is bug :thinking:.

    It's pretty cool, but where's the portfolio? :P I was expecting to find like diff projects represented by things in the game, but couldn't find any. The idea is rad for sure, so ke…

    I don't like the wild use of globals, even if they are "guarded" by locks. And then, oh boy there're locks! But, it surely works, so that's nice. It would be cool to have a small l…
