Our entire business runs on Python without a drop of Astral in the mix. No one would even notice.

you should try uv, really impressive tool

Honestly, that is an understatement. `uv run` has transformed how I use Python since 99% of the time I don't need to setup or manage an environment and dependencies. A have tons of one-off Python scripts (with their dependencies in PEP 723 metadata at the top of the file) that just work with `uv run`.

I get how it might not be as useful in a production deployment where the system/container will be setup just for that Python service, but for less structured use-cases, `uv` is a silver bullet.


Well if you put yourself in the perspective of a time period where something like _The Nostromo_ actually exists - our scientific understanding is literally lightyears ahead of where it is right now. Meaning, our periodic table as it stands today is 1/10th the size of the future table. So it's reasonable to conclude that there are large swaths of never before even imagined materials out in the universe.

Novel materials - even those that occur naturally - are almost certainly molecules of elements that we already are familiar with. There might be some interesting things to find in the island of stability, but I'd say that practical FTL is a more plausible discovery than would be finding gross quantities of elements with 1000 protons.

You could perhaps find different concentrations of different isotopes of elements which could be useful. For some kind of super advanced material science/design.

Yes, isotopes too. Interesting point. Isotopes are sometimes just as novel as new elements - though I wouldn't consider their discovery to be expanding the periodic table.

The tech equivalent to the Big Mac index? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

Looks like a pi zero

I was in Santa Monica - the dense part with all the alleyways - during a foot pursuit involving a heli. Felt like I was in vietnam. It was at night, they were pretty low, and that light felt like the sun coming into the building.

I just snagged an Asrock Rack mobo (X570), 5900x and 128gb ecc ddr4 for $680. Felt like a steal with how memory prices are going these days, ECC to boot.

I always wanted to mod mine, but was worried about Xbox Live ban (even on OG xbox)

This had me wondering what the name of the chip I intended to buy was ... which had me remembering then name Bennie Huang, which led me to realize the OG Xbox he modded is on display near me at the Henry Ford museum (!): https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digita...

=(


I never had Xbox Live, but I wanted to preserve the option so I used an Xecuter that included an on/off switch that you used double-sided tape to attach just under the power button. Flip the switch and reboot to the stock BIOS and you were good to go with online gaming.

Works on Linux with Wine too =)

Nice! Good to know it runs under Wine on Linux as well. That makes it easier for folks who want to try it outside native Python environments.

I got my eye on the Slate - https://www.slate.auto/

It answers the question, what if Framework made cars?


The Proxmox answer to this is Ceph - https://ceph.io/en/

And how does Ceph/RBD work over Fibre Channel SANs? (Speaking as someone who is running Proxmox-Ceph (and at another gig did OpenStack-Ceph).)


Not really, that works if you want to have converged storage in your hypervisors, but most large VMWare deployments I've seen use external storage from remote arrays.

Proxmox works fine with iSCSI.

Shared across a cluster of multiple hosts, such that you can hot migrate VMs? I am not aware of that being possible in Proxmox the same way you can in VMware with VMFS.

It's not like VMFS (not a cluster filesystem), for Proxmox+iSCSI you get a large LVM PV that gets sliced up into volumes for your VMs. All of your Proxmox nodes are connected to that same LVM PV and you can live migrate your VMs around all you wish, have HA policies so if a node dies its VMs start up right away on a surviving node, etc.

You lose snapshots (but can have your SAN doing snaps, of course) and a few other small things I can't recall right now, but overall it works great. Have had zero troubles.
