According to the home page (linked down thread edited: linked by you!) it is fully diy. They gave a bill of materials, construction directions, etc, but you source and build it all yourself. They list an estimated cost of 7000 usd/eur

Most (all?) Billionaires get there due to immense drive, and possibly a need to succeed. You can't really turn that off - there is always more to do, or even more success. That said, someone like Bill Gates is probably closest to what

For many of us git should be a multiplier - spend time doing your code and experiments in a safe way, because git, used well, will protect you. As such, learn the tool! Pro Git[0] is great, and you learn the how, but more importantly the wh

Many people here are referencing the 2 to 3 process as germane to the discussion, but it was really PEP 572 (the walrus operator := ) that was it for him. PEP 572 was _hugely_ contentious among the core devs, much more so than the 2 to 3 tr
