I would personally recommend trying to build some small projects at your own pace first, even replicating existing projects is a good way to practice. That can give you a potentially more comfortable way to hone your skill

Huh, i thought PZ shipped a Java runtime?

Did a quick search and yep, it was a collection of rubidium atoms https://www.livescience.com/black-hole-analog-confirms-hawking.html

Oh seppukku?

Ah sorry I meant a default argument which was a dict, thanks for the tip tho!

Oh I had a similar bug but with defaulted dicts. Default args are constructed once and reused. Not a problem for immutable args, but mutables like dicts (and sets I'd also assume) are all shared.

EDIT: whoops, didn't see you spoilered the answer, my bad! If it helps, i found my bug when dealing with cross-thread stuff, so that was a fun moment to bisect

Moksori's playlists on YouTube, really great collections

That's understandable, primarily I would define it as being in active development that ensures it remains at least functional (for example, compatible with modern versions of their target platforms), since the main way I see projects failing is by lack of development for upkeep. One-and-done projects are possible, but change is the only constant, and factors beyond the project's control can make it non-functional

That may also potentially be survivorship bias. IMO the only open source projects that would live to tell the tale are:

  • Foundational projects that are critical components in major tech stacks, having a backing in the form of funded developers or donations from companies involved in those tech stacks
  • Enterprise-scale projects born out of a consortium of companies
  • Hobby projects that the creators aren't relying on as their sole source of income

At least two of those categories are reliant on funding from companies, which in turn relies on either their well-entrenched presence in their respective market, or their ability to market themselves effectively (ex, via advertising).
