On the other hand, Vance is a loathsome piece of shit who even the MAGAts don’t like much.

Let’s see if it’s real or more kabuki.

If Trump announces cancellation of major contracts with Musk-owned firms, it’s probably real. Otherwise, not.

Yeah, maybe they phrased the headline that way for the people who thought the bombers just did that to themselves.

Billy Hunt.

That implies that each party has its own media ecosystem, and they’re equally effective. But there is almost no center-left or leftist media in the US with any reach at all.

Thanks, admins, your efforts and patience have been greatly appreciated.

We use Python on the back end of a public-facing website with massive levels of traffic. There are some maintainability issues due to the dynamic nature of the language, duck typing can be tricky for similar reasons, but as long as devs are sensible and test things rigorously, performance is fine, and I’m reasonably sure we’re operating at a scale at least a couple orders of magnitude larger than all Lemmy instances combined. Also, it’s a mature, concise language with excellent libraries, so most non-exotic requirements can be met without too much difficulty.

People mention how its bad but they just assume people know why.

They don’t know why. I supect it’s because nothing works right if you do it wrong.
