If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’

graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.

I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.

There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

It’s one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.

It’s only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

haha no source, just a dumb joke.

Full name is GNUIMP anyway

Insurance, apparently. The parents are also suing each cop individually, and the school district.

About 120K per kid.

Ok, well, if you ever come across a test framework named AuTest, you can blame me, because I’m stealing the shit out of that.

I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t aware that the USDA had updated the zones, so that was news to me at least. The appsite they built is neat. It does actually drive home that this is abnormal and will continue to accelerate in the future at least.

“These things changed, here’s the details” is a pretty tame headline, what’s the problem?

Conceptually, the nihilists are right! Nothing does matter.

Oh snap, so this guy is on the faaaaaaaar side of the bell curve wearing the hood and agreeing with me. Well played.

Up until now most people hated when shit randomly popped up while they were typing.

The Apple went and made the iPhone and now we have a whole generation that expects it.

Have you considered writing your own projects that you have to hide from your employers, and be careful with whom you discuss, so as to avoid the legal complications of the company owning your work?

One major point this article overlooks is that CO2 is a byproduct of the iron ore -> steel process. It uses carbon to bind the oxygen molecules in the iron ore (which is mostly Iron Oxide) to produce pure iron and CO2.

It IS possible to create new iron in an induction or electric arc furnace, but you still need to add carbon to drive the chemical reaction that actually purifies the ore.

That said, there are other elements (such as hydrogen which is mentioned once) that can be used to bind with the oxygen instead of carbon, it’s just that most of them do so violently. Engineering around that volatility isn’t trivial, and sourcing them introduces new logistical problems.

Ultimately, I think forcing carbon capture as part of the process is probably the easiest way to solve the problem. It’s not like taking CO2 out of regular air: it is being produced in a controlled environment as part of an industrial system, so engineering a way to separate the carbon and oxygen before it leaves that system should be very feasible.
