I was surprised to recently notice a yellow banner on the website of the very popular Requests library, which urges users to switch to Python 3. That's when I first thought switching may become inevitable. I guess this is being orchestrated behind the scenes now.
Still, I have no plans to switch. The only useful feature in Python 3 to me is more liberal use of unpacking. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of removed tuple parameter unpacking, which I use often, but most users apparently never do. I don't know what's difficult about Unicode in Python 2 either, once you understand the difference between Unicode and UTF-8.
It's unfortunate it ever had to come to this. Makes you wonder what Python would be like today without Py3K. (It's an open question.)
I notice App Engine isn't mentioned in their stack. I'm a bit worried that Google abandons it once Snapchat moves off it. It has already been in maintenance mode for some years now (save for Managed VMs). The writing was on the wall when Guido left the team. Apparently Google still uses it internally (as the recent switch to Monorail made evident), so perhaps it's safe for a few more years.
If ffplay supported hardware decoding, it'd be the perfect player. You could not make a more minimal player. It does not, and it doesn't seem to be high on the priority list, rather in last position perhaps.
Personally I dislike CloudFlare for the simple reason that they encourage site owners to use their lossless image optimisation service, which isn't lossless. Thus many images appear different than intended when hosted behind CloudFlare. I wrote about this earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10192587
Quote from their website.
The Lossless mode removes all the unnecessary bloat from an image file, such as the image header and meta data, without removing any image data. This means images will appear exactly the same as they would have before.
The last sentence is false, at least for images with color profiles on all non-mobile browsers. There are other possible minor cases.
I will be downvoted for this, but I have become wary of GOG after I learned that they're incorporated in Cyprus for the sole purpose of tax avoidance. Someone will mention Amazon (Luxembourg), Google (Ireland) and other companies now, but those are corporate behemoths from which you don't expect otherwise.
The shop doesn't work on a monitor (or browser window) with height > width. It appears when I resize the browser window. Otherwise the game works quite well on a rotated screen. Independent from screen rotation, some textures are badly compressed. Such as the pattern on the vase.
PEP 0448 in addition to already implemented PEP 3132 make it very tempting to switch. If PEP 0448 had unpacking in comprehensions I'd switch. (Doesn't seem be a follow-up PEP just for that functionality yet.)
