That sounds both useful and horrifying. Do you use this for CI scripts? That's where I've needed this kind of functionality.

Yeah I tried that at some point but I didn't figure out what to feed it to make a smaller executable that would still run. Not sure what I might've done wrong unfortunately, it's been a few years.

Do you know of a good way (if any) to shrink the size of the DOS header as much as possible on MSVC? (Like to remove the "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" notice, and other things you don't need on Windows.)

I think the Rationale section tries to explain the benefits? https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0554/#rationale

What I don't get is how they expect C extensions to adapt. I don't expect widespread support for this for like... a decade?

> if you publish paper A, and then cite it in paper B which builds on that work, then in paper C you really only need to cite paper B if you're building on the work, not B and A.

Logically I agree with you, but a lot of academics seem to believe differently when it comes to citing other people's work, and if we are to go by that logic (which a lot of people are inevitably forced to do), I don't see why one should treat their own work any differently.

You realize that's a ridiculous framing of reasonable objection? The real question is why do they "need" things like your location and web search history to offer this for your past flight searches.

Nope, but I felt good when I finally managed to write one from scratch, because I knew for sure there was a time when I couldn't. So maybe the same would happen for you too.
