Today marks a personal milestone. After 10 years of wrangling iOS and Android support for CPython, there is an official final CPython release - 3.13.0 - that officially supports iOS and Android out of the box. https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#support-for-mobile-platforms It's worth noting that today wouldn't have happened without a substantial grant from @ThePSF in 2020, and almost 3 years of 2xFTE funding from my employer, Anaconda. Turns out: funding open source gets results. Do I have any Slovenian followers? Tom Scott, in a recent video, used the Slovenian word “udarniško”, translated as “grassroots volunteer work, done for the benefit of the community”. It sounds like a perfect phrase for so much FLOSS community work, I can’t find any corroboration of that translation. Can anyone confirm/clarify the definition?  @freakboy3742 I'm not Slovene, but I *guess* it comes from somthing like ‘udarnik’, which means a shock worker, i.e. a very productive worker. In Soviet Union, udarniks were the people that would work more than needed for the benefit of society, socialism, and communism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udarnik The word itself comes from the adjective ‘ударный’ (udarny) meaning ‘quickly, decisively acting’. Its ultimate root is the noun ‘удар’ — ‘shock’, ‘punch’, ‘strike’. |
