Will not get into pros and cons of any language, but in what world python is obsolete?

Advent of chore ? :)
..though I agree - never went past 10th day or so.
> Sad
> Perhaps all these things add up to why it hit me when I read the news that Bram had passed away. In the message, his family made it clear that Bram was ill (‘a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks‘). This was unknown to most people and made the news all the more surprising.
> And it made me even sadder when someone pointed out Bram’s recent GitHub activity.

EDIT: From BDFL list in Wikipedia Bram seems to be the first to be marked as †.
They promise to delete images within 30 days (yeah they may delete images, but for sure not the metadata).
I won't pretend that there are no exceptions to the pros for public transport. Cars are there for a reason too. Sometimes combo is the best [0].
From stereotypes - I'd agree that LA's public transport is orders of magnitude worse than travelling by car. Though it sounds like OC actually never been in a moderately dense European city. You often _cannot_ go directly to your destination with a car [1] and your travel will often take longer [2]. I probably won't be wrong by saying that it will be an order of magnitude more expensive too [3].
If it's a big city - driving will cost you greatly and you will lose time. If it's a moderate city - driving will cost you a lot and maybe it will take similar amount of time. I don't see where it is a win for cars here?
> convenience of putting a large amount of shopping / luggage in the back
How often do you go shopping/carry luggage to the amounts you can't carry? Personally once every week or two.
P.S. I know that there could be exceptions to the rule, but I had in mind travelling inside the cities for common scenarios as going to work to the city centre.
EDIT: Forgot to add. While going with public transport it's great time to catch up on latest podcasts, scroll news, even do minimal work if that's necessary (emails, chats, etc.) or you can just chill in general. Driving will need my 100% attention on the road and probably 80% of the time will make me super stressed and angry.
Also "this new Musk tunnel thing." - I think I wasted a comment against a troll. :) Musk tunnel is a "metro" with significantly less throughput and traffic jams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8NiM_p8n5A
[0] Often businesses are based in big cities, but a lot of people live in the surrounding area. You drive to the city limit, leave car there (often rather cheap/free if you use public transport) and hop onto the express train that takes you to the city center very fast.
[1] Good luck to park your car in the centre of London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, etc. and if you could (e.g. office building has parking) - it will cost you dearly;
[2] Traffic is prioritised for public transport. Separate bus lanes, some streets don't even allow cars, priority for trams. Leaving your car is a nightmare too.
[3] Fuel, insurance, road tolls and/or car taxes, maintenance and car price itself, parking.

I guess OP thinks that Ukraine "asked for it", that "it's a brother nation that must be one with ruzzia", "Kyiv is ruzzia, thus Ukraine does not exist", "Крымнаш", etc.
Same on macos. Cannot use Firefox, because it does not work with Macpass.app [0] autotype - to my understanding because Firefox does not support (some) macos accessibility settings/features. For me the UX with Firefox is just the worst compared to competition. It's noticeably slower, uses much more CPU - thus makes the laptop hot, fans constantly kick in and drains battery. A lot of (all of it?) non-native GUI components makes the experience not good.
Arguably this could be old information, because my gripes are from many years ago, though I try it every year or so - but the situation is still way behind everyone else.
I support the Firefox's message, even donated to them couple of times, even though don't use their product, but at least on macos - experience is too bad for me to use it.
But on the long term? Senior-level employee makes an error? Bam - fired! With all the institutional knowledge gathered over the years, experience, etc. If it was a major screw-up - you'll be firing an employee who will not do that mistake again, but you will risk it with a new hire.
Though their `v0.0.X` versioning is very funny to me (https://0ver.org/).
The data is public, jesus christ. Though Musk-fans will eat this up.
EDIT: On similar note - I wonder how HN's duplicate post detection works? If post does not reach some amount of upvotes, then it does not count in the duplicate index?
[0] touch bar - I think it's a screen in F-row on macbook keyboards, whereas menu bar is a bar at the top of the desktop that shows current application menus on the left and clock, battery, etc. on the right.
> It's a different way of thinking about desktop hierarchy. Physical screens, virtual desktops / fullscreen apps, applications, and windows are separately navigable items on macOS. On KDE it's essentially just windows, regardless of where they belong logically or physically.
just out of curiosity opened: https://www.apple.com/macos/ventura/ . Not a word on intuitiveness and effortlessness.
My additions:
* Poor to non-existing window tiling (at least Rectangle has very good defaults and works well)
There are apps for that, like writer mentioned - so what's the problem? I'd argue that using Expose, Mission Control, Multiple desktops and controlling them with touchpad swipes is faster, more convenient, more intuitive and flexible than tilling window management, but it's personal biased opinion, just like the writer's.
* Missing native Alt+Tab and individual window switching (only does app switching)
I either don't understand the problem or what's wrong with `cmd-tab` for app switching and `cmd-~` for app window switching.
* Finder keyboard shortcuts not shown in context menu (makes them far less discoverable)
Most, if not all, apps have their keyboard shortcuts shown in the menu bar next to menu bar items.
* Lack of native clipboard
To be fair - I am intrigued what does writer mean with `native clipboard`? Some sort of built-in app for clipboard management?
* Finder's weird shortcuts for rename vs open file (no way to open a file with keyboard?)
`cmd-o` to open, `enter/return` to rename, `space` to quick look. Just because OP is not used to different shortcuts - does not mean it's weird. Also many shortcuts are very consistent throughout whole system and throughout different apps.
After writing all this - I feel like I fell for the troll [0], but will leave my opinions as it may help for other Macos beginners. IMHO it's just a thing of muscle memory and learned workflows.
[0] I think it's trolling, because clearly he/she haven't read anything about Macos, because there are plenty of sources (even official ones) for first time Macos users. Something like hiding menu bar and/or dock are the most easiest things that you can do while skimming through `System preferences` on your own. Original writer seemingly opened Macbook for a first time, it didn't work same as KDE so he/she decided to rant about it on reddit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's rather thought out colour scheme and kudos for the success, but contrast is way too low. My eyes got tired very fast while trying to use solarized scheme.
I've stuck with `Tomorrow Night Bright` for quite some time now as I enjoy the scheme and the contrastiness of it, though I tweaked it that the text is almost pure white and background is almost pure black.
Informative article, but non-zoomable interface with tiny images on mobile is not great.
TIL of penpot from that comment - seems great tool!
Similarly, from my circle I have a complete reverse example.
Multitude of health problems that went away after going to raw vegan diet. IMHO a very extreme diet, but if it's the only (discovered) thing that helps, then why not.
Though personally when I mentally imagine web frameworks "speed" - it is requests per second as well as getting better bang for your buck out of your hardware.
Great writeup - I think we are on the same page.
I understand the pros/cons of async vs sync. Just did not want to get into multi-paragraph tirade to explain everything.
EDIT: though FastAPI is still fast compared to other python frameworks and especially synchronous ones: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=7...
