This is the most-anticipated game release of the year for me.

It's a classic city-builder game, but instead of building the city, you bulldoze it for cars.

I am currently updating/revising the "Python for Defenders" course for @thetaggartinstitute, and we will not be discussing LLMs. The point is to build the skills, not outsource them. You cannot verify what a model does if you don't have the knowledge in the first place.

Addendum: I've been contributing to open source since 1989. I'm not presently looking for specific projects for myself or other people, or for advice on how to find or join projects - I'm wondering if someone is already running a service specifically to pair up retirees (or programmers who are between jobs involuntarily) with a wide range of OS projects. Thanks.

Hey, y’all remember last year when I went to the ER cause we thought I was having a stroke cause of the double vision? And it turned out to be a bacterial infection in my optic / cranial nerves, and the culprit was ultimately determined to be contaminated eye drops? Save yourself the hospital stay, and throw away any bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief.

This PSF blog post is important, but has a bad title. It sounds like it's going to be a puff piece of PR for Amazon. It's not. It's about how the PSF needs more resources. Read it, and show it to whoever you can.

@glyph i vouch for the gloves even for people who, like me, pretend they are toughguy immune to dust / allergens / co2 / etc,

any tasks that even just seem dirty, like cleaning the bathroom or yard stuff or picking up trash, i tend to extremely procrastinate about unless i've got the gloves on. then, i'm magically less apprehensive because i am armored and the ick can't hurt me

even though with a mere handwashing it probably wouldn't hurt me regardless

Are there tools that help you comply with these requirements?
