Your site has a search bar for typing in a full prompt to an LLM about what is my current mood, and I just find it interesting that one's mood is the important thing for your users to supply as input to your service. For me, unless a major event has taken place, I usually don't take time to think much about what's my mood beyond one or two words. If I've been on a journaling kick I'll usually write about the concrete experiences of the day as a proxy for describing my mood without actually getting to what this means for my energy levels/affectations, etc. The mood descriptors I do recognize in myself (eg. kinda sad!) generally factor little into my content consumption decisions (at least consciously). More important to me are questions like "What are folks talking about? (driving discourse online or at the office)", "Which movies have been recommended to me (by friends/family or by advertising)", and "What's accessible? (On a service I already subscribe to without needing an additional purchase)".

Pandas is cancer. Please stop teaching it to people.
Everything it does can be done reasonable well with list comprehensions and objects that support type annotations and runtime type checking (if needed).
Pandas code is untestable, unreadable, hard to refactor and impossible to reuse.
Trillions of dollars are wasted every year by people having to rewrite pandas code.
> Pandas code is untestable
The thousand-plus data integrity tests I've written in pandas tell a different story...

> Charlie Brown may have been as popular as any character in all of literature
Was he? Maybe this is true inside the US but from outside the US, I've always viewed the character as a peculiarly American artefact – something I was aware of but never really read or watched. This seemed to be reinforced by most major Charlie Brown titles seemingly tied to other American customs like Halloween and baseball.
The BBC published this article. I agree with "all of literature" being hyperbolic though.

I have mkcd exactly ( I wonder how many of us do, it's so obvious)
I have almost the same, but differently named with scratch(day), copy(xc), markdown quote(blockquote), murder, waitfor, tryna, etc.
I used to use telegram-send with a custom notification sounnd a lot for notifications from long-running scripts if I walked away from the laptop.
I used to have one called timespeak that would speak the time to me every hour or half hour.
I have go_clone that clones a repo into GOPATH which I use for organising even non-go projects long after putting go projects in GOPATH stopped being needed.
I liked writing one-offs, and I don't think it's premature optimization because I kept getting faster at it.
I too have a `mkcd` in my .zshrc, but I implemented it slightly differently:
function mkcd {
newdir=$1
mkdir -p $newdir
cd $newdir
}> So I prompted my brain
Is there anyone for whom this phrasing has a clarity advantage over "So I asked myself..."/"So I thought to myself..." ?

This submission links to the actual paper. The other submission is the NY Times' summary of it.
What a great reply this graph can make the next time we see VCs on X complaining how, "Everyone I talk to has so, so many engineering positions they just can't fill". By these measurements, the job market looks worse now than it did at the troughs of lockdown.
Requiring Rust as a CPython dependency would be to abandon all their users stuck in obscure environments.
