Totally, the non-XT is the medium soda.

Excellent point -- goodwill in a hyper-high demand dev community is invaluable.

If you want to write javascript, use javascript. There are ways to get what you're asking for depending on your use case. types.SimpleNamespace in the standard library provides one approach.

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." (zen of python)

I do agree that python logging is a weak point. It is too easy to do it wrong -- particularly when you are a few modules deep.

Two reasons seem obvious. F-strings are relatively new -- the code is maturing and the edge cases are being filled in. Second, everyone can't be working on the GIL and start-up times. There is a tipping point at a relatively low head count where adding developers decreases productivity.

faux is easier to remember

Cannibals are legal in Colorado? Can't wait for the next Top Chef -- Denver edition.

Is it reasonable to assume that the wealthiest people are more interested in optimizing society for what is best for the country as a whole or optimizing it so they can acquire more wealth/power? How often are those two possible optimizations in conflict?

I think it is an unpopular opinion for two primary reasons. There are inherent conflicts of interest. Being good at one thing (often being really good at being born with the right parents) does not necessarily correlate with decision making on behalf of society at large.

Add a category for what they are famous for? willsmith with a blue checkmark and "Podcaster" compared to will_smith with a blue checkmark and "Assaulted Chris Rock"?

Perhaps not a popular opinion, but the overwhelming majority of "gifted" kids seem to be near the middle of the bell curve with parents that are convinced little George is the next Einstein.

It is kind of fascinating since it does seem plausible that treating a child as gifted with high expectations and then providing focused, advanced instruction may be a self-fulfilling sort of situation.

don't apologize for using a great word. :)

It is not an ongoing issue; I do appreciate the offer of assistance. If we see attacks coming through hyperbeam again that we can't address through other means I'll reach out.

Spent some time blocking a big pile of abuse from users utilizing hyperbeam.com for IP anonymity. It left a bad taste for legitimate uses of the system.

Description: We are experiencing an issue with Google Compute Engine VM Instance creation in us-central1 beginning at Thursday, 2021-02-18 12:13 US/Pacific.

Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue.

We will provide an update by Thursday, 2021-02-18 14:45 US/Pacific with current details.

Diagnosis: Users may be unable to create new VMs in us-central1, any products that rely on GCE will be impacted by this.
