That's charitable. That was a really long interview/behind the scenes. I also interpreted it mostly as being tired (he normally works obscene hours and around this time he was particularly burning both ends). I think it's t

He seems to open up more when talking to people he considers "on his level" or at least deeply interested in what he is interested in. Take for example photographer and journalist Tim Dodd. Since Tim has a huge passion for rockets

That seems exactly opposite to the growing trend of "sqlite-as-application-file-format". There's a lot of nice features you get "for free" doing this, primarily way better consistency, than you do rolling your own b

Sounds like you may have had too high a dose, or too quickly absorbed of a dose. That's more or less what I feel like in the 30-40mg range, which is about middle of the road for Adderall XR. The problem with XR is for some folks, it is

Thanks for sharing! This is incredibly relatable. One of my hallmarks has always been intensity. I rarely half-ass anything, and when I do, it's almost astonishingly mediocre. But normally it rockets between obsession and extreme apa

I have it, have had it since I was a kid, and it's moderately treatment resistant to boot, so I'm acutely aware of how much it sucks, and I wear it with pride. I don't take pride in my depression and mood disorders. I think

Nice writeup! Former chemist here. Helium is indeed poorly soluble in most liquids. It's actually used to sparge (purge by bubbling through) solvents to drive out other dissolved gasses. This is because Helium has very weak intermolecu

Sure, it's absolutely great to learn from other languages. I guess what rubs me the wrong way is every point is explicitly or implicitly the Golang way of doing things. There's no real representation from other languages. That c

I totally agree. Literally every point is "what if Rust did this thing that bugs me the Golang way?" Granted, it's a sort list, but it seems like the patterns are precisely golang influenced.

I'm fond of the XDG path convention. Which basically boils down to putting configs in ~/.config/your_app/ and secrets in ~/.config/your_app/secrets. If you use pydantic, it supports a secrets dir with a pr

I'm pretty sure the IDE uses either mypy or pyrite under the hood. I don't know how this is a sign of python lacking. Works just fine in jupyter notebooks, too, and that is hardly an "IDE" (though it does have Jedi autoc

That's not really a good definition of compiled. Interpreted vs compiled is very much more a continuum than it was however many years ago when these terms originated - you had compiled ALGOL and interpreted BASIC, and little in between

Cool project! Does having the python interpreter be written in rust confer any benefit for writing python extensions in Rust, such as less overhead for moving data in/out of the extension?
