You find a project you like, but you can't use it due to the license (maybe it's GPL or AGPL). What's stopping you feeding it to an agent and having it port it to another language, and then potentially back again?
Bam, no more copyright.
This is what AI companies are doing in the first place, yes?

Turns out J. Michael Straczynski (of Babylon 5 fame) worked on both the original He-man cartoon and the Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future show.
I haven't seen Babylon 5 but this dude had a large influence on my childhood. Maybe I should just watch it 😅

I like `just` a lot. I switched all my open source stuff to it (from make) and we're in the process of adopting it as standard at $DAYJOB. Would not go back to make for my needs.
But I have this niggling suspicion a task runner based on Python would be better.

One of the cool things with programming in a very fast language like Rust is that you can do stupid shit like this and it just doesn't really matter at all

Everyone is ignoring the best part of the proposal to introduce Rust into CPython.
We'll be able to stick a big fat "Written in Rust" at the top of the readme.

Found a Python library for type-safe functional effects: https://github.com/suned/stateless
Not sure if I'd use it but it's been a long long time since I've come across a library that's genuinely interesting.

With only a few hours left to go, WE HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE, and fully matched all $17,000! Here is a screenshot of my own match (as I said at the beginning, I was going to give $5000 regardless and $5000 to match, so this is the full $10k).

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts.
Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

Fun fact: eight years ago, the cattrs test suite (because it contains many complex PBTs) took about 8 minutes to run.
In the meantime:
* I upgraded to an M4 Mac

* pytest-xdist parallelized the suite
Now it takes […]
