5 babies and parts of their bodies hidden by other babies are all accounted for.

On Linux, I'd just build my own Python binaries and make them available. But you can also use pyenv for the same thing if you're ok with it.

Then, using poetry, I have different projects with isolated environments.

The important difference is that you don't need to import anything in order to quickly use list type. This wins in the majority of the cases, unless I'm building something that will be imported by multiple other modules and it really pays to be that explicit.

I've enjoyed coffee that was roasted with cinnamon. I've mixed in cinnamon with ground coffee myself (in the upper part of the espresso puck only) for a similar effect. Tastes great. Would recommend.

I've had coffee with orange juice, which was weird but ok.

As long as you mix in good ingredients, you get something good, that individual taste would judge if it's likeable.

After all, what's so objectively likeable about bitter bean juice in the first place?

I have a work environment, which has a symlink to my private notes. Then I use it for some other stuff too with separate, tinier vaults, but I found that unless it's accessible in my primary vault, it will be ignored and forgotten.

But it does get annoying when is search I find both Linux notes, interview notes, and D&D notes.

Some stays in Turkey do very well. However I've seen plenty of cats in need of medical attention (swollen limbs, covered in their own feces, etc) and some people actually harassing them. Same in Greece according to my cousin who was doing some charity work on an island to improve cats conditions.

Stray population needs to be small enough for them to do well with the help they can get from people. The best thing that Turks do for cats, is too neuter them.

Shipping binaries is a double-edged sword. On one hand it's fast and simple, on the other hand you rely on the vendor to do it right. Confluent doesn't ship binaries built on musl, Microsoft doesn't ship binaries for arm64 (and has often failed to make it obvious, so the binary will install, but not work), nobody ships binaries for armv7.

Having this double world is a bit painful. Especially that once it's shipped as a binary, the vendor doesn't care very much about source distributions, so there's missing instructions, bad documentation (like how to install on alpine, and that you need librdkafka of the same version as the python package for confluent-kafka), and just a whole world where a junior or even mid level developer will get lost.

I think that there needs to be more focus on delivering good source distributions, with everything included, since publishers don't keep up with the variety of target platforms. And building from source is quite often fast, since machines are fast.

Consider a compromise between traditional espresso machines and button to cup ones, in the form of Breville Oracle. It's only a bit more effort than just a button, but what you get is better coffee than similarly priced automated machines, the opportunity to use it as a traditional machine if you wanna, and the ease of cleaning.

Not really. I adopted a stray kitten which cost 0$, a couple of vet visits set me back maybe 200$ for most of his life. Cat food isn't expensive, car toys, and the environment was easy to supply and make it interesting. Later in life he got a tumor, and regular vet visits did cost a couple of thousand bucks and he eventually had to be put to sleep. But that was the most amazing cat, who gave happiness and love to 4 people, and a kitty friend.

If you wanna achieve 9 bars of pressure with a constant coffee beans amount and varying beans type (medium roast, dark roast, different varieties within the same brand, etc) you will need to finetune the grind size setting quite a lot. Even tiny grind size differences have a big influence on your brew.

Convenience and performance.

I'm a dual user of Firefox and Brave on different computers. In order to separate work and personal stuff and shopping, I use different profiles. Easy on brave, needs extension with separate app on Firefox, that doesn't work on librewolf. And too often I have to stop my browsing because this Firefox setup is less stable and crashes once in a while causing annoyance.

Plus Chromecast. I like the ability to search for a video on the laptop and cast it to the TV.

It's always a balance of convenience and privacy plus ethics, can't have both.

Xbrowsersync extension will make it easy to sync bookmarks across multiple browsers on multiple platforms. It's open source and you can self host it if you want. This for me makes it easy to combine Firefox with brave and similar. Only Vivaldi doesn't support it.

Hope this makes your browser switching easier and cross platform choices simpler.
