Correct. Keys must be immutable and hashable.

Makes me think of Fakeblock.

The bang syntax works though: `!wv malta` sends me to the Wikivoyage page on Malta.

The difference is simple: NBC was (and still is) free to watch if you have a television and an antenna.

My understanding was that if you write a regular function (`def` rather than `async def`) then FastAPI (or really Starlette which it uses under the hood) executes the function in a thread pool so that no blocking of the main event loop should occur.

They compare PyPy and CPython in their benchmarks.

If for no other reason, pytest requires a lot less boilerplate.

Pytest fixtures are also quite a bit more flexible than unittest's setUp and tearDown methods, although they take a little while to really understand (at least they did for me) since they use some magic.

> think of all the years of unnecessary education they'd pile on to dentistry and the bottle necks they would put up to raise the wages to MD level.

That seems more an indictment of the medical education system than the insurance system. There are already parallel medical education systems in the US (MD vs. DO, although there is little practical difference). Seeing either type of physician is treated equally by health insurance. Why can't health insurance also cover DDS visits as well?

Matplotlib's main API is pretty terrible. But it's just fine for the simple plots that scientists and engineers are often needing (e.g., just plot y vs. x). It's also pretty straightforward to get publication-quality plots. Bokeh can handle simple plotting and more complex visualizations, but it is aimed mostly at interactive visualizations rather than plotting for publication. For now, matplolib is the only real option for that in the Python world.

Matplotlib inherits most of its baggage from originally being meant to mimic Matlab plotting that many were then familiar with. As an aside, I find the pandas interface to plotting with matplotlib to generally be much easier to work with.

This looks pretty cool.

C-a a. Using emacs with screen for many years, this is almost automatic for me.
