1/ Many will tell you why Python is great for teaching coding, so I'll tell you ways it's not. State is a bad default. It should be legal but safe & rare. The arc of programming is long and bends towards immutability. Its early use creates messes (eg, "a variable is a box".) ↵

With the recent burst in applications of Large Language Models (LLMs), it's worth revisiting the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect and Knoll's Law (1/8)

Regardless of where control of the House & Senate ultimately lands, can we take a moment to recognize that yesterday...went ok? We voted. Violence did not disrupt the polls. The system held. That should be a given for a US election, but it wasn't in 2022. Democracy won. Onwards.

My name is Nabeela Syed. I’m a 23-year old Muslim, Indian-American woman. We just flipped a Republican-held suburban district. And in January, I’ll be the youngest member of the Illinois General Assembly.

I have a very sophisticated system of reading books. I read a book when it calls to me. Alice Water's "The Art of Simple Food" has called me after almost 10+ years of me owning it. Therefore a pork shoulder is being braised today.
