I've been full time writing python professionally since 2015. You get used to it. It starts to just make sense and feel normal. Then when you move to a different language environment you wonder why their tooling doesn't use a virtualenv.

I like the idea of uv, but I hate the name. Libuv is already a very popular C library, and used in everything from NodeJS to Julia to Python (through the popular uvloop module). Every time I see someone mention uv I get confused and think they're talking about uvloop until I remember the Astral project, and then reconfirm to myself how much I disapprove of their name choice.

In Australia our eggs are kept in the refrigerated section in the supermarket (usually near the cheese and butter, because everyone knows eggs are dairy), and we've always put them in the fridge at home, so I guess they wash the protective coating off here too.

Dammit, now you've mentioned it, I'm going to have to watch every episode again for the 11th time.

Nobody yet has mentioned the obvious solution. Get a wireless mouse that doesn't use bluetooth. There's lots of different varieties, but my favourite is the Logitech G304.

Nice job, well done.

+1 for Signal. It's already on my phone, and already on my PC and laptop. It is a simple Flatpak install on Linux. It's end-to-end encrypted. I use that for one-off notes and files between my phone and my PC or between my laptop and PC.

For notes and small files that I know I'll want to save to reference at another time, I put them in my KeePassXC database because that's already set to sync between devices.

That's so true. I studied Ba. Information Technology for two years in 2004-2005 and dropped out due to family reasons, then I went back 10 years later and did Ba. Software Engineering in 2013-2016.

In both instances, it was clear about half those enrolled in the programme were only in it for the money, you could tell that some people were just not excited about software. They were the ones who had dropped out by the end of first year.

The other lot were those who did find it exciting, but severely underestimated the difficulty of the discipline. These were the kind of people who have can edit game config files to add a bunch of mods to Skyrim, they consider themselves a tech wiz want to study to be a game developer. But they barely pass intro to Web programming with html and JS in the first year and fail the first oracle database course in second year. I had some good friends who failed out hard in second year of software engineering for that reason.

I agree with your comment in general, but it does depend entirely on the context and the situation. Eg, at work, you can't just ask someone out. That's a sure fire way to end up in front of HR.

It's certainly a bad sign if you leave the interview and you're not sure if the job is for writing PHP or pleasuring his wife.

Dude, it's common knowledge that NSA has contributed significant portions of (security related) code to the kernel. No tin foil hat required.

Bro, you almost accidentally reached transcendence.
