It sure is

Hopefully, you are writing PEP621-style pyproject.toml, yes ?

Then replacing uv with poetry or probably other thing is easy, because this is the standard packaging format

Bury their head under the sand ? Maybe, maybe not


You are correct

Any system that is based on the perfection of humans is doom from the start ..

A jammer is easy and very effective, you can even use it at home to piss off your neighbor, so I guess the army can do it too;


"Auto-Parallelization - Automatic parallel map, grep, for, while loops via Rayon work-stealing"

Given any kind of "for" loop, how can it know that there is no synchronization required ? That no mutual exclusion is required ? No concurrent access of some kind ? Offloading some work to another process/thread is expensive, too

If the inner body of the loop is a pure-function, then that's easy (except for the performance part, which may require heuristics or something). But if the body is not pure .. ? I cannot see how this can work reliably with any random code


My favorite typing-related stuff is typeguard (https://pypi.org/project/typeguard/), with its pytest plugin


False dichotomy

DNSSEC protects email, webpki does not


Yes

It is awesome until you understand that most equipement expect a TCP or UDP header; Then, with IPv4x, they find none, and drop the packet;

Protocol ossification is a real thing and the main bane in this topic


An earlier draft had a section discussing how IPv4x would work with NAT routers. Essentially, an IPv4x packet would be a UDP/IPv4 packet using a port number (84) that's been allocated to IPv4x.

Old routers would be a normal UDP packet inside a normal IPv4 and route it normally. New routers would detect UDP port 84 and treat it as an extended IPv4x packet.

I took all that out because I wasn't writing a proposal for something we should actually implement in the real world, but an alternate history "What if people who wanted IPv4 but with extra space got their way" and the story was already too long.

You never have the private key, only the ability to ask something to encrypt/sign something
