After years of working with gspread, I finally found out there's a SQLAlchemy dialect that works with Google Sheets. I can't believe what a huge workflow upgrade this affords. I wanted to spread the good news.

Love prefect! but for workflows involving concurrency, Prefect code needs to get somewhat invasive. Prefect relies on prefect.task()-wrapped methods as the lowest granularity of concurrency in a program, and requires you to use the (somewha

The "leaving ecosystems alone" ship sailed almost everywhere on Earth tens of thousands of years ago. Humans have always been a part of, and had impacts upon, the ecosystems we've lived in. Certainly moreso in recent centurie

Ah yeah I mean there's always some big archive that is constantly dodging takedowns, I find it hard to keep up as these tend to go down every few months and you need to know the new one somehow

Sci Fi more than a decade old is the golden zone for piracy. Everything else is harder. Contemporary books, very hard.

That may be! It's a bit handwavey, but plausible. However, I think it poses the strongest challenge to the argument of the article, and I don't think it can be trivially dismissed.

Monastic life often appeals to this nomadic, freedom seeking sensibility, but I think out of ignorance. Monastic life can be quite strict, and you're crowded in with a small set of people you cant get away from.
