That's supposed to be covered by the policy of protecting sex workers and the like. I think we all agree with you in spirit and we only differ in how we rate the implementation.

Python and node are probably the easiest to get setup. With Python you have venvs which do a lot of the heavy lifting required. The issue becomes when you are on a non Linux environment for development and deploy to Linux in containers. If

No, not seriously. But also seriously. The article is based on % change which is of course ridiculous because the % increase of a small population isn't at all interesting. And GP also has a ridiculous claim. So I'm offering a sta

Hardware performance is victim to Jevon's paradox. The M1 will result in more profligacy of cycles. Only battery life seems to have a chance of pushing performance the other way.

A low hanging use case would be scripts for a distributed data analysis system. e.g. You type in a function and then it compiles to wasm and is sent out to run on worker nodes. Or you write code snippets for code to run in a distributed dag
