Can we please stop with the "you're not doing X enough" culture? This is in part what leads to burnout and the feeling of being a hamster in a wheel.

I doubt it very much that either Russian war on Ukraine or the US attacking Iran happened due do scarcity of resources. Old folks in power want their page in history books.

could you please point to an example? For my project i'm currently animating matplotlib plots and walk through the video later, but rendering times are quite painful.

thanks for the work, this looks amazing. Have you considered trying numba for acceleration? It's great for number crunching.

It's also a form of reconnaissance. In doing these acts they observe how different actors respond and look for potential weak points.

and the goal for this toeing the line is to spark discussion and disagreement between member states. Article 5 credibility is already at it's lowest point after Vance's speech and the new US security strategy, now isn't just the matter of sowing further disagreement.

I believe this is about the perceived switching cost for the masses who, in the US and Europe for example, are predominantly not vegetarian.

I believe that Python is as popular and widely used as it is because it's old enough to have an expansive ecosystem of libraries. It's easy enough to implement one in pure Python and possible to optimize it later (Pydantic is a great recent-ish example, switching to a Rust core for 2.0). That same combination of Python + (choose a compiled language) makes it quite difficult for any new language to tap into the main strength of Python.

Python is popular because of it's expansive ecosystem of libraries, which only exist because the language is duck typed. If it was statically typed, the expansive ecosystem of libraries wouldn't exist.

There is a factor of 3x difference in dev speed between the two typing systems.

It's not just its age, it's how easy it is (was?) to jump in and start writing useful code that could be revisited later on and be able to read it and understand it again.

All of these efforts to turn it into another Typescript are going to, in the end, kill the ease of use it has always had.

wouldn't it be enough for the underlying user data to be stored in a well-documented and widely supported format? I don't care if Obsidian, Logseq or similar are open or closed source if my data is just a folder of markdown and jpeg/pngs.

In simple cases maybe but in general how the format is actually interpreted matters more than what some spec says. Markdown is a great example because in practice almost every markdown renderer does things a bit differently.
