I am currently interested in art theory and criticism after 1900s, the mechanisms of mystery and writing. Longing for the old amateur spirit of the early internet.

Have you ever started a Python process, realized that you made a mistake, immediately hit Ctrl+C to interrupt it and then waited a surprisingly long time to get the command line back? This delay is caused by a bug in the compiled #Python extension. :thread:
A code block labeled "A Common Bug (in compiled extension modules)." The code shows an attempt to exit a  calculation of a large array of random numbers, and then indicates that a Ctrl+C interrupt takes 3.5 seconds to return, rather than returning immediately as is probably the desired and expected behavior.
