    While we are sharing meaningless anecdotes, almost everyone I know (since I live in Seattle) has been vaccinated. No one has reported any issues, a couple have since successfully h…

    I use this for the isort in browser demo: https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/quick_start/0.-try/ it was really awesome to be able to directly use a Python package without any wrang…

    Articles like this: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20201026/COVID-19-now-like... make me think that's seriously unlikely. I mean unless, you are talking about one of the histori…

    What is that platform? Are you considering Go a platform, or something that was built with it (like Docker)? And what are the frameworks you consider to be the most advanced in dec…
