Dear Editor,

I am 14 years of age, and have been writing as far back as I can remember, and submitting manuscripts for the last couple of years. I subscribe to your magizine, and my favorite feature is the Obituary department, although “O. Henry’s Comet,” for which this story is intended, runs a close second.,

Thanks very much for reading my story.

Today, I’m excited to announce the first release of PyOxidizer (project, documentation), an open source utility that aims to solve the Python application distribution problem! PyOxidizer’s marquee feature is that it can produce a single file executable containing a fully-featured Python interpreter, its extensions, standard library, and your application’s modules and resources. You don’t need to worry about whether you are running in a virtualenv, what is set to, whether files come into play, whether various environment variables can mess up your application, whether some Linux distribution packaged Python differently, what to put in your script’s shebang, etc: executables built with PyOxidizer behave as you have instructed them to because they are compiled that way.

The second task of last week’s Perl Weekly Challenge

was to list the dates of the last Friday in every month of a given year. Many of the participants went to great lengths to create efficient and accurate solutions:

tracking the last day of each month, detecting leap years correctly,

working out formulas for the day of the month for a particular date,

managing the complex date arithmetic required. We don’t need to explicitly worry how long each month is, whether the year is a leap

year, or how to work out whether a given day is a Friday; the Date class takes

care of all that for us.

In 1989, just before the collapse of the USSR, the Pepsi Company cut a deal with Soviet Premiere Mikhail Gorbachev that left it with a fleet of Russian military ships, making PepsiCo temporarily the sixth-largest Navy in the world. Against his company’s objections, Kendall, who had ambitious plans to expand Pepsi’s overseas markets, had agreed to sponsor a booth at the Exhibition, where he provided Pepsi-Cola that had been bottled both with American water and with local Russian. As part of his détente policy to ease Cold War tensions, Nixon was seeking to expand commercial relations with the USSR, and Kendall, as part of his plans to take on the Coca-Cola Company, viewed the Soviet Union as a vast new market.

Details: The deal comes after Drive.ai talked with multiple potential acquirers, but in the end Apple won out. Apple also purchased Drive.ai’s autonomous cars and other assets, sources tell Axios. Apple was expected to pay less than the $77 million Drive.ai raised in venture capital, to say nothing of the $200 million it was valued at two years ago, after its Series B round, Axios’ Dan Primack reported recently.

Kevin Wolf, a former Commerce Department official and partner at the law firm Akin Gump, has advised several American technology companies that supply Huawei. If the chip maker provides services from the United States for troubleshooting or instruction on how to use the product, for example, the company would not be able to sell to Huawei even if the physical chip were made overseas, Mr. Wolf said. In some cases, American companies aren’t the only source of important technology, but they want to avoid losing Huawei’s valuable business to a foreign rival.
