druml··on Astral to Join OpenAI
> the essence of what makes Python awesome

This is not the point of uv or any good package manager. The point is what prevents Python to suck. For a long time package management had been horrible in Python compared what you could see in other languages.

Small tool shop, burning VC money, true. "Tiny part of the Python ecosystem" is an understatement given how much impact uv has made alone.
druml··on Paul Graham retweeted and liked Trump's tweet with phrase “China Virus”
There is a context in the original tweet.

Trump had repetitively used the term "Chinese Virus" since the pandemic. Quoting the Conversation[1]

> The expressions “Chinese virus” and “Wuhan virus” personify the threat...The adjective “Chinese” is particularly problematic as it associates the infection with an ethnicity. Talking about group identities withan explicitly medical language is a recognized process of Othering (here and here), historically used in anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy, including toward Chinese immigrants in North America. This type of language stokes anxiety, resentment, fear and disgust toward people associated with that group.

In this particular tweet, Trump used the term "China Virus" instead of "Chinese Virus". Following the development of the recent events, it is very clear that such a term still ties to people of an ethnicity, or people of a location, instead of, say, just a location. The dismiss of the comparison is weak.

> So what? I'm gonna guess he wanted to amplify the photo of a mask-wearing Trump, not the China Virus.

Even if pg's intend was just to amplify the photo of a mask-wearing Trump, the fact that he liked and retweed a message inciting hatred is beyond disappointing.

druml··on Nobel Prize in Medicine 2015: Therapies against roundworm and malaria [pdf]
I should rephrase my last sentence as "China would have contributed much more to science if the Cultural Revolution did not happen."

Referring to the historical context, Mao just introduced the Revolution at that time. As a consequence research institutions and universities were shut down, and scientists and intellectuals were sent to villages to be "re-educated" by farmers. Later Ho Chi Minh asked Mao for medical help for malaria, and Mao assembled 600 scientists who were still available, including Ms Tu, to start a military research project.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_523

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_science_and_technol...

If the Cultural Revolution did not happen, most of the scientists in China at that time would be doing their own research, instead of being banished, humiliated and tortured. And Ms Tu would have more colleagues and a better scientific environment to work with.

druml··on Nobel Prize in Medicine 2015: Therapies against roundworm and malaria [pdf]
Ms Tu's work was done during the Cultural Revolution. While most of the scientific research and higher education activities were utterly disrupted by the politics, this research project was well protected and allocated resource because Mao needed this to help the communist side in the Vietnam war. Ms Tu does deserve the prize, and it is a great news for the country, but IMO China would have contributed much more to science if it was not "putting it's whole country's effort to make this happen".
