Personally, I have never liked the PEP 634 pattern matching. I write a lot of code in Python. 99% of the time when I could use pattern matching, I am going to use simple if statements or dictionaries. Most of the time, they are more straightforward and easier to read, especially for developers who are more familiar with traditional control flow.

A lot of software is built and optimized for x86 and EPYC processors are really good so it is hard to get into arm, don’t think that many companies use it.
I am running an ARM64 build of Ubuntu on my MacBook Air using Multipass. I've never had a problem due to missing support/optimisation for ARM - at least I didn't notice any. I even noticed that build times were faster on this virtualised machine than they were natively on my previous Tuxedo laptop which had an Intel i7 that was a couple of years old. Although, I blame this speed mostly on the sheer horsepower of the newest Apple chips
I can absolutely relate to this. I had similar feelings for the last year or so - although I couldn't express these thoughts as well as the author did.
I've developed this weird addiction to making notes in Obsidian. It wasn't really about learning or understanding anything. I bought into the illusion that having notes in my PKM meant I had actual knowledge. Bigger graph = smarter me, or so I thought. I even started reading books just to feed the system: Look at me with my 3,587 notes this year - aren't I clever!"
Currently, I am just taking notes where it really matters: Readme, documentation and some loosely organised markdown files

I often prefer to work in in extremis environments where there is no internet access, and hence, no easy way to get ahold of make; it's given me a bad habit of just waiting a build.bash script to do what make does most of the time. I haven't really found myself missing it that much.
I am confused, because this means that you won't be able to install anything. No compiler, no 3rd party libraries and no text editor that isn't preinstalled

I understand the treatment to address those secondary consequences and complications, not the primary causes of diabetes.
You're right. But they explicitly wrote "we examined the potential of FUS as a treatment for diabetes". So they are discussing a treatment, not just symptom relief

> But in people with diabetes, this sensing system is dysfunctional, and the liver releases glucose even when blood levels are already high, causing a host of health problems.
I am pretty sure, that the dysfunctional glucose sensing and inappropriate liver glucose release are consequences and complications of diabetes, not the primary causes. Diabetes (Type 2) is primarily caused by insulin resistance combined with progressive beta cell dysfunction.
Therefore, treating the liver to treat diabetes seems .... weird?
Some people might have issue with their push into LLM AIs with their Assistant. I personally don’t care for it and am happy that by not using it I’m not subsidising other peoples use of the paid APIs they use. But I’ve seen some people take issue with the development time being taken up by it at all.
I am a proud user of their assistent. It provides access to all models that I am interested in (basically only Sonnet/Opus) with stronger privacy guarantees than many of their competitors. Their UI/UX has definitely room for improvement. However, I find it pretty useful.
Kagi has its own index

It also uses other indices along Google.
It has. But in my experience their own index is rarely used
> All results from external indexes.
The above is something I see all the time when using Kagi.
