Requiring Rust as a CPython dependency would be to abandon all their users stuck in obscure environments.

The thousand-plus data integrity tests I've written in pandas tell a different story...

  function mkcd {
    newdir=$1
    mkdir -p $newdir
    cd $newdir
  }

Is there anyone for whom this phrasing has a clarity advantage over "So I asked myself..."/"So I thought to myself..." ?

> Take this one: "27 percent of a large sample of eminent physicians smoke Throaties--more than any other brand." The figure itself may be phony, of course, in any of several ways, but that really doesn't make any difference. The only answer to a figure so irrelevant is "So what?" With all proper respect toward the medical profession, do doctors know any more about tobacco brands than you do? Do they have any inside information that permits them to choose the least harmful among cigarettes? Of course they don't, and your doctor would be the first to say so. Yet that "27 percent" somehow manages to sound as if it meant something.

That book specifies many other examples (from this time period in America) of misleading claims that sound statistically significant upon an uncritical, cursory reading.
