Are there any gains to be had in just using this for pypi packages (no conda)? Solving for a monorepo with hundreds of packages is the cause of much time lost.

i'm just mesmerized by his answer, that without an understood context, it's not at all easy to explain how magnets work. his riff for 8 minutes on this is just a joy to watch.
It's got lots of development activity, and a huge package library, not to mention interop with JavaScript as well.
My guess is that Haskell already takes all the air out of the (albeit small) FP room.
I wish there was a stdlib package that sat between subprocess and something else with a higher level syntax for process management. Running binary `foo` takes 3 letters in shell, and many many more in subprocess.
i have tried to find sites that have listings of hacker/engineering/conference type events, but most of them are very spammy, or low signal. is there a good resource for finding these?
With 2600 at least, I can never find anything that interesting to read. Articles are usually about a) the hacker ethos, b) some ancient system and its exploit or c) a current system that's incredibly niche and its exploit, all with wildly varying article quality.
I can guarantee that there was a huge thread about this in the bug, and it was not as simple as "nah don't ship it". There are many technical reasons/tradeoffs involved, and sometimes perfectly reasonable improvements are not possible. That's at every software org.
It makes it easier to come back to a project after a few weeks, because you don't have to remember the N commands you were using to iterate/test, you only have to remember the 'just' invocation.
For some reason, it feels like a more natural fit for this than 'make'
most people on reddit (including myself) are there to lurk, not really participating in conversations, but reading content, memes, news articles, etc.
is there room in the new reddit API charging scheme to, say, snapshot all the most popular NN subreddits, including conversations, every 6 hours or so, and cache and serve that read-only snapshot to visitors (in a separate app, web UI, whatever)? maybe even charge $.99 a month or something for the privilege of never having to log into reddit?

by david wise. what a gem. and here is the obligatory, very well done mini-doc about this track, and the incredible technical achievement it took to make it:
although, i suppose, to your point, even an alien could introduce a skilled carpenter to a new table saw technique.
this was an eye opening quote for me when i read it, for some reason. it meant that the craft of software was the most accessible in all of human crafting. really an amazing time to grow up.
