<p>So, there&#39;s epinephrine pen for allergies, insulin pen for hyperglycemia, but if you have an acute attack of impostor syndrome, what pen do you use?<br />Just stab yourself with a ballpoint pen and see if it helps?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> maybe put that in the readme and move on from it to things that interest you. I learned a great deal from your essential reference decades ago. But I didn&#39;t expect you to keep it up forever.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> so I could technically reach a stable earth orbit after this course?</p>

@dmbaturin@functional.cafe > They don't have those restrictions _yet_. For quite a few, constitutional modifications would be required for that to be a possibility. Russia and China also don't even pretend to be democracies or not authoritarian. The problem is long past online communication there. > their next step will be to ban censorship evasion. They can try it. They can also fail. If the programs are designed for the kind of store-and-forward setup I described. There are a lot of ways to hide data transmissions when you don't need either endpoint to be actively aware of the transmission taking place at any given moment. Sure it represents a massive gain in latency and unreliability, yes. > all cross-border OpenVPN traffic That's pretty much the low-hanging fruit garbage though. > There must be mechanisms that make KOSA just as impossible to pass as a bill to enslave all Black people or strip women of their voting rights. Those mechanisms are pretty far off and the current ones would represent fedposting so I won't.

<p>So far as I know, everything in the course still applies to Python 3.13. However, I&#39;m kind of on the fence as to whether I not I should further modernize the course to cover things like pattern matching, types, and whatnot.</p><p>TBH, Python has kind of escaped my threshold of interest in trying to fully explain it at this point. And my mind has wandered off in other directions.</p>

<p>What I&#39;m listening to today: &quot;breakcore/glitch patch in plug data&quot;, Artiom Constantinov</p><p>&quot;Plug Data&quot; is a distribution of PureData with (thank goodness, finally) more legible graphics. Here Artiom uses it to visualize a self-playing patch: lush FM swells, drill&amp;bass kicks and, that&#39;s right ladies and genderqueers, a guest appearance by Ms. Hatsune Miku herself. (Or some formant synth.) Apparently you can download the .pd file for this track from the musician&#39;s patreon. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUkNtcdxc9s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=EUkNtcdxc9</span><span class="invisible">s</span></a></p>
