What's going on is "we have 14 standards so we need to create a 15th" actually worked this time

To be fair, I've used Poetry for years and it works/worked amazingly well. It's just not as fast as uv.

It works far more of the time than people give it credit for. There are a lot of good XKCDs, but that one is by far the worst one ever made, as far as being a damaging meme goes.

It's survival bias. You'd never see the confusion from would-have-failed standards-wannabes that xkcd927 helped prevent.

"xkcd 927 Considered Harmful" ?

Fantastic comment

FYI if you use Jetbrains/PyCharm, it also provides this (and has saved me many times)

Just right click your file and view "Local History"

Yup. And it's full-text searchable, which I've found people generally don't realize. Fantastic feature.

Yes, visiting the 2003 version in the Wayback Machine prompts to download a swf

Is there a version of this that is annotated?

For example a few steps in are some niches on the wall -- I half expected a popup explaining their purpose

Here's a gif of the second issue from the blog post, just reproduced on my client

Ah, earlier today the Slack app on my Mac had not updated yet -- there I experience the same issue.

The web client on Firefox works better, though: https://imgur.com/a/X53iIlm

Edit: On Chrome it's broken for me too....

Well, that just looks like a bug then.

I think the concern is mostly about what Slack was actually trying to achieve.

So much enthusiasm -- I wish I had teachers like him at school.

I do the exact same thing. I find WIP stash-per-branch very useful when I'm context switching often between feature branches. I've got two aliases set up for this -- `git wip` and `git popwip`:

  $ git config --global alias.wip
  !git add --all && git commit -am 'wip'

  $ git config --global alias.popwip
  !git log -1 --pretty=%B | grep -q '^wip$' && git reset HEAD^ || echo 'HEAD is not a wip commit'

To extend this, I might make my CLI show `foo-branch (wip)` if the most recent commit is a wip. Your alias idea is golden though, definitely using this. Thank you!

> At this time, the original App Engine-only APIs are not available in Second Generation runtimes, including Python 3.7.

This means that if you already have a significant app running on Appengine Standard, none of the built-in APIs are supported (memcache, images, search, task queues, email, etc). That's a significant blocker to anyone wanting to upgrade their existing Standard 2.7 app to 3.7.

The sentence before that quote:

> We are progressively evolving the original App Engine APIs to make them accessible across all GCP platforms.

So I think they're planning a solution for you.

Correct, but for us (migrating from AE Flex to Standard) it meant that it was working out of the box.

It seems to me this product is mainly targeted at 1) new customers, and 2) AE Flex customers wanting to switch to Standard.

The third category (Existing 2.7 Standard customers wanting to just upgrade to 3.7 -- which is me unfortunately) are going to be disappointed and stuck in a hard place, I think.

What would be the incentive to migrate from AE Flexible to Standard if these apis are not there? The only thing I can think of is scale to 0.

Scale to 0, faster scaling up/down (no need for full VM spin up), faster deployments, less surface area for attack (maybe?).
