Re:Python 3.15.0 on Friday October 09, 2026 @08:43PM (#50028313)
I hope something comes along that has a much more powerful type system like Rocq. I also dream of tagging certificates to values such as "this string has passed SQL validation".
This post makes me want to buy Nvidia stocks.

Re:PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock on Saturday September 26, 2026 @06:23PM (#49861126)
