gollark: I dislike how it inherits the thing where I have to specify a maximum size for the data to receive, even though python can dynamically allocate buffers.

gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
