There is a lot to like here. It can be a nice stack when combined with async/falcon and viewcomponents, at least where you don't need a lot of client-side state and browser API usage (canvas/usermedia etc) where javascript-first is a better approach, or a lot of number crunching, for which Python is better.

This is not OP, but my experience with releasing apps on android is awful. It needs 20 testers who need to test the app for 14 days before it can be released to production. Its a major bottleneck for individual developers. Hope OP isn’t stuck with it.
That's just Play Store. It's easy to publish APKs on Github releases like any other OS.

Couldn't we just add extra drives into the extra internal SSD slots? Or does Mac Mini not have those?
AFAIK, Apple took away those slots when Mac minis transitioned to Apple silicon. Attempts to replace SSD with re-soldering have not been successful.

I asked it to generate a very basic Excel file. It generated text as Markdown. I reiterated that I want an Excel file with formulae and it provided this as part of its response:
----
No, I am not able to generate or create an actual Excel file. As an AI language model, I don't have the capability to create, upload, or send files of any kind, including Excel spreadsheets.
----
It does not have access to the Excel app. You may be able to generate the .xlsx file using python libraries but you would need to run the python code on your own. ChatGPT can run generated code, which is probably why it works there.

Strict hierarchies are indeed too rigid. What about using a tag-based file manager like TagSpaces (which is free and open-source)?

In a small way, yes, and throughout "three to seven", actually up until she was nine, we had a lot of fun with what I think I can call problems (especially while home-schooling during the pandemic, where we had time to keep going back to these from different angles). But I'm not able drum up much interest these days, so I was wondering if people here had any insights on what if anything has worked with tweens, as opposed to how the younger ones learn.
Try dropping him in one of these math discord groups (for eg: Summer of Math Exposition)? Teens care a lot about social approval and seeing so many people having fun with math might help.

Did we (the humans) somehow managed to pollute the internet so much with AI that's it's now barely usable ?
In my opinion the internet can be considered as the equivalent of a natural environment like the earth. it's a space where people share, meet, talk, etc.
I find it astonishing that after polluting our natural environment we know polluted the internet.

Corporations did that, not humans.

That only gives you trees not DAGs - you can't do fan-in (there's no way to "share" let bound names).
Isn't this fan-in?
let A = select * from tbla
let B = select * from tblb
let C = select * from A join B
At the IMO "silver medal" afaik is define as some tange of points, which more or less equals some range of problems solved. For me it is fair to say that "silver-medal performance" is IMO langauge for about 4/6 problems solved. And what's the problem if some clickbait websites totally spin the result? They would've done it anyways even with a different title, and I also don't see the harm. Let people be wrong.
No, "silver medal" is defined as a range of points to be earned in the allotted time (4.5 hours for both papers of 3 problems each).
