I found that today "bare metal" is used equivalent to "non-cloud". I think this is pathetic.

The new solid electrolyte batteries have around 450 Wh/kg, the old liquid electrolyte ones around 270 Wh/kg. Or less for LFP.

> Can’t we just store some data on disk and read / write from it when we need to? (Spoiler: no.) I disagree. SQLite does a good job in uniting the 2 worlds: complex SQL queries with excellent data consistency and simple file(s). Alt

Hint: TODO lists are just stripped down Kanban boards. Maybe someone will find e.g. clikan more useful.

Continental Europeans have very bad experiences with British tourists. I really like Brits, but just if they stay on their Islands. And I am quite sure I get support from around a 100 Million dead guys from India. Turks are a very big commu

Search for a partner who kicks you in the ass. And if your memory problems do not have genetic or other physiological causes, do physical exercises and try diets. If a keto-like diet does not work, try a carbo rich one.

I do not like that Python does not allow tz-naive time to be interpreted as UTC, which does not need a timezone. So you have to waste space by using a tz-aware format or you have to add the TZ +00 manually in some way.

If an app needs a DB anyway, has ZeroMQ then advantages over a DB based MQ, like PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY or SQLite with update_hook? Did anybody compare throughput/latency for these approaches? Edit: ... for the basic zmq pattern

My 2 €cents from a limited and outdated experience with visual programming tools: 1. Screens have limited size and resolution, and the limits get hit rather fast. The problem can be pushed away by zooming, by maybe an order of magnitude, bu

Just talking about the types: I found them more helpful than the Big Five. But there is definitively missing "Type 0: Ape: I follow". And I do not think that a person fits just one type. They are more, like the Big Five, traits wi

You forgot one thing: data entry. It is far more convenient to type tabular data in a spreadsheet app than in a REPL. I use it for simple SQL data, too. As Python coder I use visidata. Provides also fast and convenient aggregations etc. And

1. Pickling is, as already mentioned by a cocommenter, slow. Do not use it. 2. Do not use loops, use itertools. (Python 3.12 got a nice 'batched' function, btw.) 3. Preallocate memory, where possible. 4. multiprocessing.shared_mem
