Since nobody's brought it up: MQTT.

It got pigeonholed into IoT world, but it's a pretty decent event pubsub system. It has lots lf security/encryption options, plus a websocket layer, so you can use it anywhere from devices, to mobile, to web.

As of late last year, RabbitMQ started suporting it as a supported server add-on, so it's easy to use it to create scalable, event-based systems, including for multiuser games.

That looks great. A lot of places just plonk the Chashu in there. Toasting it is extra bonus.

Wait until AGI!

AGI: Yes.

Wait until the sentient robots!

Sentient robots: Yes.

Wait until biological...

Biologics: Glub, glub. Yes.

I actually like it when these code helpers guess from one line what the rest should be and suggest it. It's even more fun when it keeps guessing and the suggestions get progressively more whacky. Then they just start making completely unrelated shit up.

Once you say no, it goes back to the beginning and meekly repeats the very first suggestion, like a scolded puppy.

How long before the students gamify it to see who can generate the most alerts?

An old, dear friend and his family are in town to drop off his daughter at graduate school. Reconnected with him back in April when I visited his side of the country. Looking forward to having them over and introducing them to my own family.

The impression I had was thst subinterpreters could be launched from the python side. This writeup implies you need to write a C extension to make use of it.

Will have to do more research...

Nice writeup! Be good if, at some point, they covered how threading and multiprocessing impacts opcode processing, especially when it comes to those globals.

Leasing is also a factor. The technology is changing fast (including range), so some people may not want to commit to owning a car that may be obsolete in 5 years.

Was listening to an interview with NY Governor on imposing cell phone ban in schools. Said if they left it to individual schools or school districts, there would be lots of pressure from parents or individual groups not to do it and the whole thing would fail. And if they made it voluntary, some kids would comply, but there would be social pressure to keep things as-is, due to FOMO.

Instead, the government would pass a uniform, mandatory law and take the heat.

Seems like that's what will be needed to change everyone to a 4x8 week. Similar dynamic. Do, not ask.
