@hroncok I'd never though it that and it sounds plausible (de-fault, to undo a fault), but I looked it up and it's original meaning is failing to do something, like defaulting on a loan is failing to meet financial commitments.

The computing sense is an extension. The OED says:

"An option or setting that is adopted automatically by a computer program whenever an alternative is not specified by the user or programmer."

It's like you fail to set something, so it defaults to a fallback.

Python no longer lists all the end years in the PSF copyright notices, so we no longer need to trawl through and increment a bunch of integers each January.

A lot of snow fell yesterday, followed by rain and more snow, causing meltwater flooding.

#Helsinki #Töölönlahti #flood

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
A park bench looking north over Töölönlahti bay. Water is flooding under the bench and two feet are wet. Across the bay is the Opera House on the left, and on the right, behind wooden villas, is the Linnanmäki amusement park on a hill.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Floodwater completely blocking a pavement and bike path.

Yesterday's commute and today's

#WinterCycling #Helsinki #snow

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
A snowy bike path between snow-covered evergreen trees on a slight hill, and a railway track. There's wheel tracks in the snow. The sky is a solid grey.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Photo from a similar spot, except the bike path has been cleared. The sun is struggling to shine through the clouds as dark greys come in from the west, yet is reflected on the damp bike path.

@adamchainz You can also see it used here for patch releases: https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0rc2-3-12-6-3-11-10-3-10-15-3-9-20-and-3-8-20-are-now-available/63161/1

A lower number for 3.12's bugfix release, and much lower for 3.9-3.11 security releases. As it should be :)
