What kind of radiometric dating is used for sediment? Is it not possible for older sediment to shift around and cover newer stuff?
> To invest mechanically without thinking about what’s actually happening in the world is cargo cult behavior.
This is why it's suggested that unthinking mechanical investors invest globally, not just in the US. For example, VT, a single set and forget index fund has 40% international exposure. That's to speak nothing of the S&P 500 companies that do business internationally.
Of all of the SPAs I've worked on, 90%+ of the "state" is just server side data, pulled down via APIs, to display to the user. Other state libs don't bother to take into account common things like cache invalidation, or loading states, but it's all built in to React Query.
Thus, motivation comes down to find something meaningful/purposeful to work on, and then wanting to do the best implementation possible for that thing, whatever it happens to be.
I used this method, along with keeping a log of drinks consumed, to eventually quite drinking over the course of a year. I went from having anywhere from 3-8 drinks a night, every night, to eventually stopping completely. In turn I've been sober 6 years now.
I found keeping the drink log useful both for charting my progress, and also just forcing me to be honest with myself about what I did and did not drink. It's too easy to skew ones memory in favor of having less of a problem if you feel like it.
The free time will slowly return as the kiddo gets older.
Even if what you say about IDEs is true (which I don't think it is), it's still instructional to know the "why" of a refactor, and when to apply it. Perhaps it's too basic for you personally, but there's much wisdom Fowler is passing on to the world here.
Physiatry is a small specialty which most folks have not heard of. I'd encourage you to research the specialty and what it's about at the very least.
I'd also end up in not great places when utilizing parinfer while editing code written using different formatting than what parinfer expected. I'd have to fall back to paredit and hope for the best.
This is all to say that yes, sometimes editing lisp syntax is "hard", at least for me. Turns out some humans make so-so AST parsers.
That said, structural editing is great once you get good at it, and something I miss back in other languages.
Equity markets can take a hit at pretty much any time for completely unforeseen reasons. This is expected and should be factored into a "safe" withdrawal rate (see Bill Bingham and the 4% rule).
Anyone who was relying on an equity market that never tanked, to survive retirement, was doomed from the outset.
Perhaps we need a service that will send an automated barrage of emails directly to a recruiter to remove an email address from their system. If enough people start using said unsubscribe service, recruiters might start to take the hint.
IMO Crypto is a ponzi scheme that is simultaneously hurting the environment. Others feel differently. The only real value I've seen come out of crypto beyond making illegal activity easier is immigrants from El Salvador can now send money home without fees.
Ray Dalio has an interesting "all weather" portfolio for capital preservation regardless of what the market does, part of which holds precious metals. Beyond that, metals and commodities are speculation IMO.
If you are nervous and want to sleep better at night, just adjust your asset allocation to be more bond heavy (ex. 65/35 stocks/bonds). Thanks to inflation, TIPS are killing it this year. Also, max out your Ibonds if you haven't already.
Here is an example of one of the aforementioned "extreme" techniques: https://www.sudokuwiki.org/Exocet
That said, you can probably solve up to and including "difficult" Sudoku puzzles on your own without having to learn advanced techniques.
As another poster mentioned, "Enjoy Sudoku" is a great app to try, as each difficulty level is defined by the techniques needed to solve the puzzle. This should help define for you the boundaries of what you are able to discover on your own.
I feel rather certain at this point humanity as a whole is unable/unwilling stop this impending disaster due to the perverse insentives that existm that allow people to continue to bury their heads in the sand, and pretend everything is fine.
- Python Social Auth: handles social login
- Django Rest Framework: does all the heavy lifting for API dev
Django takes care of all of your other requirements such as user management, DB migrations, interaction with both PG and SQLite via both the ORM and raw SQL.
This app runs on Heroku and is quite easy to deploy.
You mention wanting to generate the API from OpenAPI spec, but this is not needed with DRF. Instead, the API is generated from your models + sterilizer + view code which in turn generates an OpenAPI spec for documentation purposes.
I've worked in a number of other languages/frameworks and I can't imagine anything that does more heavy lifting for you than this stack, which in turn lets you focus on the business logic.
More importantly, this stack is battle tested, and very well documented (except for perhaps Python Social Auth, which could use some doc love).

It's quite possible to call out and dismantle bad ideas, without making it reflect poorly on the originator of the idea.
A snarky tone can have an underlying implication that the idea was so bad, the idea originator is not even worthy of a respectful reply.
Maybe this is warranted in some cases (e.g. a bullshitter bullshitting), but in the case of coworkers/contributors with good intent, this is just unnecessary abrasiveness.
One option would be to define this View Model that takes your Model in the constructor, then make this view model object available in the template context.
> Can I write a serious program without OO...
Absolutely! See any program written in a functional only language, or C.
> Should I look into another paradigm?
Eventually... I'm personally a huge fan of Clojure. That said, don't give up on OOP. It's pretty unavoidable in industry.
