Oh, it “wasn’t made clear” SUUURE. Addressing a blowback could be way better if you admitted a mistake instead of gaslighting your users. Not the way to earn back lost trust.

There is no mention of that being the case (or otherwise). But the fact that the author is clearly explaining they don’t have data loss, they have more or less bricked devices makes it seem like this is a bad faith argument.

There is no way Google would sell Chrome. But you can bet at least a thousand engineers are working on bolting Gemini onto it right now.

I think pythonic is more important than performance and I would still choose that version over a try-catch block, were it slower. Being pythonic means it represents a commonly understood pattern in Python code, therefore it is more efficient in communicating intent.

Apart from the quote from the zen of python, does this really make your code better though? You will end up writing 4-5 lines with an extra level of indentation. The code does the same, but has worse performance and communicates the intent poorly (compared to the “pythonic” version).

“Now”? Try 10 years ago, at the very least.
