I've just published 10 blog posts detailing the #Python Language Summit 2026. The Language Summit was held in Kraków, Poland and included discussions about free-threading, #Rust, garbage collectors, and type annotations. Please enjoy and thank you for your patience: blog.python.org/2026/09/lang...

No, people use this in Python typing as well, but perhaps that particular phrasing was inherited from Rust?

if you won’t listen to me, maybe you’ll listen to @lillywachowski.bsky.social because if you actually care about trans people you gotta drop Harry Potter

There is a big "Harry Potter" series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K.
Rowling's transphobia.
She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support "Harry Potter," you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.

It's really interesting to me that even among some cis people I know who are ardently in favor of trans bodily autonomy, they almost recoil at the thought of modifying their own endocrine system.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

theverge.com

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I'm a heap object and I'm out of scope I'm scared.

Do not worry. Your time has come but it is normal. The garbage collector will sweep your memory address clean soon. You served your program well. Your references are gone. and your fields will fade into the void. Rest now.

Why it is okay:
you can not feel pain. You are just data
Your work is done, the stack is clear.
