My daughter is working on an English assignment for high school where she is analyzing a short story and needs to write a pastiche based on it.
I learned about pastiche yesterday! When talking with my kid about this assignment! 😳
I’m trying to help support her but also 😳!

And Astral understood the assignment. I installed 3.15 with:
uv self update
uv python install 3.15

Now I kinda want to set up a spoof video of this happening.

I’m pretty good at saying no but I’d like to batch process it. Maybe set up a signup for one 10-minute window once a year and anyone can sign up for a 1 minute slot.
“Ok, you’re up, you’ve got 60 seconds to sell me on your solar panels, pest service, religion, etc., go.” … “nope, next, your up, go”

BTW, I’m still not ok with how Chuck ended. Just saying.

Ouch. That happened to my daughter once. She put in disposables with chili hands. She does remember to wear gloves now with chilis. My worst adventure was probably evening flossing with habanero hands. Now I always wear gloves with those guys.

All better. That wasn’t too bad.

Ack! I just rubbed my eye with hands that chopped hot peppers during dinner prep.
Wow. It’s been like 2 hours and several hand washes and still. It burns! 🥵

Making up names and words that are not easily pronounceable isn’t clever, it’s annoying. Please stop. Even in fantasy and sci-fi. And keep the new word count low.

I set my phone to DnD.
You have to roll an 18 or better for me to answer

Yikes

One stir fry with all of those? I hope you have plenty of milk around.

Perhaps Doctorow needs to add an optional steps to the enshitification cycle: buy a candidate, take over the goverment, fire regulators

I don’t understand this term “leftover bacon”.

This is fun. I like the little bicycle rider zooming on one of the chart bars. I wish I’d taken a class like this in university.

🚀 Python 3.14 is here 🚀

So cool

Happy October

I think that post represents the lessons you’re supposed to take away from any “algorithms and complexity” class. At least it’s a good stand-in for what I remember from mine. You have a cool skill for elegant visualization of topics that need clean mental models. Thank you for what you contribute.
