He has the most infectious curiosity, and I love the way that he presents geological mysteries as almost a true crime, feeding you little observations over time until you can _almost_ see the solution

I agree, now I just use uv and forget about it. It does use up a fair bit of disk, but disk is cheap and the bootstrapping time reduction makes working with python a pleasure again

I've been following Andrew Kelley's writing and zig is probably next on the list for me (previously would have been rust). The story from C to Zig and the ease of cross compilation makes it really tempting. I haven't looked i

It's interesting that this is framed in the context of 'foul play' - I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that even in regular play there's often enough head impact to be concerning. I'm actually surprised th

I've come to the opinion now that if something in sales doesn't make sense, you're probably not the target market. Sure _I_ don't want to have a demo with no price guarantees, but I'm not the target market - big com

I'm not sure I understand your point, maybe we're talking at cross purposes? In the case of chopping off a thief's hand I see the _desire_ to steal as the moral failing. Preventing the physical theft in that case doesn't

If it is a moral failing, how can a pill resolve it? Does the pill put morals back in the user? While I agree that alcohol abuse is bad (and might make people do bad things, and hurts people around them etc), I'm not sure if the moral

I see a similar hesitancy around anti-alcohol addition treatments like naltrexone. People almost _want_ it to be difficult to quit (or lose weight), like there should be some moral struggle associated with it

I was wondering a similar thing - even as simple as wear-and-tear on your joints, hips and back is less as a smaller bodyweight. I notice I even look younger at a lower bodyweight (up to a point)

The thing that I find surprising about this is that it seems so innocuous. Duplicate keys in an object? Meh just take the first or the last or something, no big deal, I'm sure whatever library I'm using will handle it

Yes you're right, I didn't have the self-insight to understand or accept this until a decade after I graduated. It's still surprising to me that it's so obvious to outsiders but was so unclear to me.

I actually didn't realise how Brisbane it is until I stayed at southbank and wandered around the CBD a little bit. Even curlews were new to me, I couldn't believe it when I first saw one, I thought it was a statue.
