I think parent is referring to Merkle trees.

Did they really take artistic liberties to make the Bay Bridge coloration look like the Golden Gate?

scolding hot metal

I like the mental imagery


it's not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.

...the San Francisco gold rush in 1949.

Classic CS major, making an off-by-one(hundred years) error ;)

Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents' response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused, with Angelenos.

Just keep the Dodgers in SoCal. This is the Giants' city.

When I hear the term, I think of the Rainbow cover of the Quatermass song. But that's just me.

It's interesting that, with Python, the reference implementation is the implementation


yeah there's Jython but really, Python means both the language and a particular interpreter.

Many compiled languages aren't this way at all


C compilers come from Intel, Microsoft, GNU, LLVM, among others. And even some scripting languages have this diversity


there are multiple JavaScript implementations, for example, and JS is...weird, yes, but afaik can be faster than Python in many cases.

I don't know what my point is exactly, but Python a) is sloooow, and b) doesn't really have competition of interpreters. Which is interesting, at least, to me.

Did the developer use any version control though? SCCS has been around since the early 70s, RCS and CVS since the 80s. The tools definitely existed.

Also, it was a single dev, which makes SCM significantly simpler!

California doesn't allow "use it or lose it" vacation policies. Vacation rolls over up to a reasonable amount, which apparently isn't super well defined, but my employers have generally set a limit of 2x annual.
