You can go to Google Account > Data & Privacy. Then pause Youtube History. There will be no more feed on Youtube home screen. You will only see your /subscriptions feed. Little trick for a more peaceful life.

...And then they train their next generation models with these elite engineers' skills.

Python is rather a UI for human logic comprehension. A mathematical notation of logics. Not a code to drive computer.

And prompt does not replace that.

A coder typing in code is not solely to generate outcome. It's part of ongoing thinking process. Without this ongoing process, we have no material to keep iterating forward.

When you want a thing to move to the right, you just move it to the right. Why we'd need some sophisticated abstraction for such simple task these days ?

Clickhouse is more marketed in my feeling. I mostly use Windows, so DuckDB is the first choice for me.

They should call it Thunderbot.

Just a moment ago while I'm working on the previously mentioned workstation provided by the financial institute, at the bottom left corner there a new notification read: "News for you: 'New girls clubs...'"

Meh. Turns out it's a news that has nothing to do with me nor my work at all.

Similar notifications keep poping up all days.

A citizen of the country attacking others wrote a post about country protection. How funny.

Yes. These days, with plain text, pasrsers, Internet, mobile devices and LLM, we really get more than what we see. Only few case where paper print out is still more useful.

Not just storage expense. Recently I work extensively for a very large financial institute. They provide me with Windows terminal to work on the project. I initially expected to myself to work on a very institutional security constrained environment. Instead, the workspace keep popping up with annoying msn Ads inadvertently, out of any context. The default browser, Edge, was default to msn, which is full of more distracting Ads. They trick corporate users to be their Ads viewers using their trustworthy image in enterprise IT. No idea why they think that revenue would worth the downsides.

I've just listened to Longhorn story on Monday and have heard the same thing.

sakesun — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 03:22:24 +0000

I heard a lot of similar stories in the past when I started using Python 20+ years ago. A number of people claimed their solutions got faster when develop in Python, mainly because Python make it easier to quickly pivot to experiment with various alternative methods, hence finally yield at more efficient outcome at the end.

sakesun — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 03:15:52 +0000

I'm glad they explicitly mention File Explorer. As a person solely use Windows for decades, I've naturally developed a very deep allergical behavior of avoiding to touch File Explorer as much as I can for years. Hope they could help fix me. I really need VSCode-like experience for files management.
