  • Totally in agreement, and I’ve left comments here before saying that the left needs to do as much. Maga got it in their heads that they’re the “true” Americans. The silent majority. They’re ignorant, and seeing all those stars and stripes in the crowds I think really drives down that point “No, we are real Americans, and we’re fucking fed up”. Compare these photos to the Jan 6 photos, which crowd looks like the real Americans?














  • If anything, to me it seems more important for a slower language to be optimized. Ideally everything would be perfectly optimized, but over-optimization is a thing: making optimizations that aren’t economical. Even though c is many times faster than python, for many projects it’s fast enough that it makes no practical difference to the user. They’re not going to bitch about a function taking 0.1 seconds to execute instead of 0.001, but they might start to care when that becomes 100 seconds vs 1. As the program becomes more time intensive to run, the python code is going to hit that threshold where the user starts to notice before c, so economically, the python would need to be optimized first.
