What makes it so great for me is the effortlessness.
I often use Python for quick one off scripts. With UV I can just do `uv init`, `uv add` to add dependencies, and `uv run` whatever script I am working on. I am up and running in under a minute. I also feel confident that the setup isn't going to randomly break in a few weeks.
With most other solutions I have tried in the Python ecosystem, it always seemed significantly more brittle. It felt more like a collection of hacks than anything else.
You can even inline the dependencies:

That plus this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42855258
Makes it pretty seamless for one-off scripts.

> I drink a cup of chamomile tea and take 5 mg of melatonin before I go to bed, and this seems to help (or might be a placebo)
That is way too much and possibly not timed properly. Correct dosage is closer to 0.3 mg - 1 mg. See here for more details about dosage and timing: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/10/melatonin-much-more-th...
Edit: I incorrectly written grams instead of milligrams previously, thanks aneidon for catching it.
I think you mean 0.3 mg, based on your source.

I use Windows with a Microsoft account. But none of my files are saved in their cloud.
What are you talking about? OneDrive? You don't have to use it if you don't want.
Setting? You can disable their syncing too.
So what’s the point of logging in with a Microsoft account?
I'm currently reading the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton, and would highly recommend it.

I’d like to offer a few thoughts on this match as a former internationally competitive player/US Cadet U16 champion, current ~2400 bullet chess addict, and someone who has played bughouse with Fabiano as my partner at the Sinquefield Cup in 2017.
First, hats off to both players for a hard fought match. To Magnus for successfully defending his title, and to Fabiano for pushing Magnus right to the brink. This was an exciting matchup that was good for chess, especially American chess thanks to Fabi.
I give Magnus enormous respect for his classy remark in the closing ceremony, when he stated that Fabiano has as much right to claim the throne of classical chess as he does. This is 100% true given their drawn match, be didn’t have to say it, but the fact that he offered that recognition to Fabiano is such a gentleman’s move. It’s enough to make me forget the disappointment I felt due to his draw offer in game 12. Magnus not only is the champ, he deserves to be the champ.
Fabiano talked about taking lessons from this experience. I hope his big takeaway is to begin incorporating online blitz and bullet into his training routine. From playing bughouse with him, I know that he is very unsure of himself when it comes to these faster time controls. I don’t blame him for this. Most likely it is a result of his coach(es) instructing him not to “waste his time” or “ruin his chess” with blitz and bullet.
The truth is, blitz chess is not only insanely fun but extremely good training to develop intuition for slow chess. In case anyone has doubts about whether it is valuable, we just saw a world championship title awarded based on rapid.
tl;dr: Play more bullet and blitz! It’s good for you.
* Shameless plug: I have been developing an online interface to help people become insanely good at bullet and blitz in a short amount of time. Essentially I reverse engineered the process of how I became a chess prodigy and prototyped a web interface to do it faster and at scale. I currently have an almost-MVP integrated with LiChess API and I’m looking for both beta testers and full stack devs (web and mobile) to help me launch this thing. With a little luck we will have Fabi, Magnus, Hikaru and others testing this in a month or two. I could really use some help on the dev side so anyone interested, please leave a comment! Can offer some combination of equity/cash/world-class private chess instruction to the right person or people :-)
I’d be interested in beta testing this. Sounds great
I’ve been using openvpn on iOS for about a year, and this 1.1.1.1 app for a day now, and I can guarantee that most of the connectivity issues described are not true. [edit: for me, of course. sorry, didn't mean to discredit parent comment like that. just wanted to add my perspective.]
- it automatically switches networks, both to and from WiFi
- it does not disconnect when switching
- the 1.1.1.1 app does not make anything more spotty or unreliable; it’s just DNS. Openvpn yes, but this app clearly not.
As for the battery issue: could very well be true, I have no idea how to test it.
The difference between this app and an actual VPN are clear from using it.
You’re right, that’s because (I think) this is an “on-demand” VPN, which basically only connects as needed, and allows for switching between Wi-Fi and cellular. It also shouldn’t drain more battery, since it’s not keeping the connection alive when the device is asleep.

Something "worth many millions of dollars" will most certainly be kept very quiet by the repair industry, since it can provide recurring revenue (until someone else discovers and reports it to Apple) to an otherwise extremely repair-hostile ecosystem. Bug bounties are a one-time deal that otherwise gives no advantage to the reporter, but unlocking services are not. These people are certainly not looking for a pat on the back from Apple or wanting to make its devices more difficult to repair.
You really think the repair industry is the one sitting on that vuln?
