What a co-incidence! Exactly 11 years ago from today, communications satellites Iridium-33 (US) and Kosmos-2251 (Russia) collided in orbit, destroying both.[1]
I don't have any criticism if the performance of this new dict stays the same as earlier and that's a huge if. Considering python3 is already a crawling language compared to peers like java and php, I think devs should focus more on that before handing out features.

1. it's been there since 2016, the new dict was released as part of Python 3.6 (though the ordering was only an implementation detail until 3.7)
2. the new dict is much more compact (20~25%) and should have much faster iteration speed, those were actually the original goals, ordered iteration was a side-effect
3. the new dict should not benchmark significantly slower across the board, it wouldn't have been merged if it were a regression
Yeah, that's called instinct triggered by practical knowledge and a sense for survival, used to come quite handy in those unpredictable adventurous days!
The problem with Compatibilism is that free will and determinism can't co-exist, its an either or. If you believe in determinism then your will was never free, was it?
The Buddha says that free will is perfectly possible provided you have the strength and perseverance of controlling your mind which is like a drunken monkey. As long as you don't do that, you are at the mercy of the whims of your subconscious mind which is constantly conditioned by your Karma and thus your will is never truly free.
So I am that drunken monkey after all? I was getting a bit lonely, you know. HMMM. On second thought, it sounds like it's better to not be the drunken monkey?
Hey, thanks for replying to all my comments btw. I was going through a bit of an existential crisis! (a little one!) May I ask why your username is the_matrix? Are you a philosopher/read in philosophy? Have you read any Jean Baudrillard? Would love to chat some more. My email is in my about me! :)
Quite ironic that the world is busy raging wars about about all kinds of racism, casteism, sexism, feminism, etc. while ignoring the real social menace bothering everyone since time immemorial: the bourgeois vs proletariat classism.
People are too much addicted to reddit, they simply can't imagine living without it. They should take it down for a couple hours just for an experiment, just to see how many don't go mad without posting there!
The words "technical" and "non-technical" are also quite vague these days because once you start focusing deep enough in a field, it does become technical even if IT isn't involved - that's another widely used error, "technical" isn't just about Information Technology.
Each of these skills you've mentioned have their own technical nuisance and even IT gets involved at some point or other even in fields like art and architecture.
And yeah, programming is as creative as it gets whether you regard it as technical or not!
True, but in general startup terminology, "technical" tends to mean "can code." The idea of the site is to feature remote jobs that don't require programming skills and/or are art/design-related, as many people find coding overly difficult.
But yeah, perhaps there is room to improve the messaging. The long-term goal is to build a travel brand targeted at remote creative workers.
