Russia to block Google, IOS and Android.
Aleksei Didenko, a member of the Russian State Duma, has said that Google, including its Android operating system and Apple's iOS, will soon be blocked in Russia.
Didenko advised the public not to cling to services like YouTube, stating, "Soon Google will be blocked, along with Google Android. iOS will also be blocked, and this will not be our initiative."

So they will not use Smartphones? I am not buying it.

I am getting Vietnam flashbacks of all the small incompatibilities between Numpy arrays and Pandas Series
I thought the company would collapse after firing 80% of staff, and for a long time I kept arguing that Twitter was still in the "Wile E Coyote ran off the edge of the cliff but didn't fall yet" phase where they were running on pure momentum. I must admit, as time goes by, it's harder and harder to argue that. I just can't believe that 80% of the company was really just not needed. Every company I've ever worked at was lean to the point where they almost couldn't get anything done due to lack of people. I can't imagine a company that could lose 80% of their people and keep on trucking.
I think Twitter is down 60% in advertisers and 30% in users? Elon personality is part of it, but losing so many people handling community, clients, institutions… I am sure the company has lost most of its institutional knowledge.

Markdown doesn't give you a table of contents, an index, page breaks, control over typesetting, control over table layout, captioned figures, diagramming tools, etc. The difference is about the same magnitude as between Pong and Call of Duty. Yes they're both video games, sometimes one is preferable over the other, but they are not equivalent.
Pandoc/Quarto markdown gives you most of these.
In my experience, it rarely really matters fine control. If the effort is too big to tweak the templates/markdown you export it to an intermediate state (LaTeX/Office/whatever) and drop the original markdown source.
There is no lock-in.
I don't think nvidia bans anyone from running code on their devices.
They do from time to time: https://wirelesswire.jp/2017/12/62708/

Another module that's packaged with the stdlib that's immensely useful is itertools. I especially find takewhile, cycle, and chain to be incredibly useful building blocks for list-related functions. I highly recommend a quick read.
EDIT: functools is also great! Fantastic module for higher-order functions on callable objects.
