I avoid anything written in Python. It's not the language at fault it's the ease of entry so you get a lot of low quality software.

I hadn't appreciated OP was just spamming links to their own blog

This is hardly politics and has been covered endlessly in tech communities.

.io domains aren't going anywhere. There are too many of them to safely migrate in a reasonable timeframe and too much core infrastructure is tied to them.

Both GitHub and Rust use .io for core infrastructure.

They might close registration of new domains but not renewals

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It's utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

Their delivery range is quite limited.

You're probably out of luck. I've been trying to avoid amazon for two years but all the other options suck. I'm constantly chasing missing orders and returning items because they're just not as described.

Amazon revolutionised the customer experience and apparently nobody else has even bothered to try and mirror their formula.

They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you'll probably find you're spending less each time.

Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn't able to cover that cost.

Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that's because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn't work. I lose interest or don't absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren't going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.

I'm sure every generation says this but...

Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn't work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you're comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.

It's just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time
