this is probably one of the most interesting/inspiring games i've played in a very long time. i'm only 30 minutes or so into it, but i'm excited to see where it goes.

I spent the last month or so migrating over a hundred models to v2 and it has been a pretty pleasant experience. Free performance gains and a lot more clear/readable models. On top of this interacting with complex nested root models is now much more organized and `.model_validate(data).model_dump()` always works whereas before I had to do a lot of strange json loading and dumping surrounding instantiation for certain models.

The changes are overall good and the library has matured into something that seems like it will be stable for a long time to come.

Spend an hour with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok8bF8M7gjk and never look back.

Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yUXPZGhIX8 specifically for migrating from v1 to v2.

Will we ever get to see the Coens' biopic, "Henry Kissinger: Man on the Go"?

Especially considering the fact that there are discussions in the issues in these repos from the codeowners who "don't condone illegal activity" actively providing guidance on how to use the stolen data to login to victim's accounts on various services.

I signed up for this today and am quite enjoying it. There are a couple of nitpicks, but overall it seems like a very simple and elegant solution to this particular problem.

I'll definitely be subscribing.

'I have suspected for years that the STEM fields posed the most dangerous threat possible to the unopposed dominance of politically correct sociological idiocy over the entirety of the university environment, basing their claim to validity on recognition of something approximating a universally accessible objective reality.

...

But, make no mistake about it, scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians: your famous immunity to political concerns will not protect you against what is coming fast over the next five or so years: wake up, pay attention, or perish, along with your legacy. Whatever you might offer the broader culture in terms of general value will be swept aside with little caution by those who regard the very axioms of your field as intolerable truly because of the difficulty in comprehending them and considered publicly as unacceptably exclusionary, unitary and unconcerned with sociological “realities.”'

this looks great.

I would use it in a heart beat if there were an option for a one time license / activation fee and the ability to use it offline without associating the graphs with an account & communicating them back to a central server. my guess is that there may be more folks like me who work at companies that require a certain level of anonymity or security regarding sensitive information like database schemas. just a thought!

Ubuntu 19.10 on a late 2015 Macbook Pro is a dream.

The going rate for them when I picked it up was around 1,800 - 2500. Check past/completed listings for sealed 2015 macbook pros. The higher end ones are rare, but they show up occasionally.

Found a brand new/sealed 2015 MBP on eBay about 3 months ago.. top of the line i7, 32gb ram, 512gb SSD, still the best laptop that exists IMO.

beyond the technical aspects of what was going to be done with kubrick's napoleon, it seems as though lot of the same ideas from this film were encoded, in reverse, into barry lyndon.

the more i read about napoleon, and what could have existed had it been allowed to be made, the more i come to appreciate what was actually accomplished with barry lyndon.

wasn't a large amount of corruption surrounding this deal specifically a major plotline in true detective season 2?
