From my subjective experience, having "been there at the time", I think this was sufficiently obscure that "not really a thing" is not an unreasonable take. It's a bit like "Yes, in the 2020s we got NFTs tattoo

I don't know, maybe! I just did a half-arsed google and got an M.2 adaptor that doesn't look like it's designed for daily swappage? But maybe you're talking about something else.

Tengentially: Since a lot of us are hybrid workers now, can't we have a better solution than having to constantly schlep our laptops to work and back? I want an easily pluggable SSD that doesn't dangle precariously out of the side

Although, there are multiple people in the talk section[0] arguing for the "'physical' machine" definition. Might have to get used to it, along with "crypto" and "algorithm". [0] https://en

Can't remember the name (if it has one), but there's a linguistic phenomenon where words take on opposite meanings from the original. The "Peacemaker" was a missile, "literally" now means "figuratively&quo

I presume, with Windows 10 support ending this year, there's going to be a glut of used laptops.

I haven't really used it in anger, but I believe `uv` can install pre-compiled python binaries (from... somewhere?). Maybe also pyenv?

Well, if you work on security-critical software that's currently written in a memory-unsafe language, I would say that's a good candidate for a Rust rewrite. Likewise if you work on a widely used library that's awkwardly slow

I live in London and carry a knife with me at almost all times. It's admittedly a Swiss army knife, I wouldn't be allowed to do that with a machete. In practice, I don't see the situation as a problem.

AIUI if you want the GIL, you can just not disable it. I don't think the GIL is going away in the near future.

Or https://github.com/astral-sh/uv can replace both. Various features are tagged as "experimental", and I guess the api might change, but it seems to work already. I have high hopes for it eventually making p
