With the REPL? Yeah for sure
Exactly, just let your Mac Mini do it
Just do a PR to all the major vendors!
It used to be a joke that “Python is just executable pseudocode” and now I want to take that more seriously?
Earlier this week I was tinkering with using a working Python Lambda function as a reference implementation for a one-shotted C++ version and got decent results when I stuck to the stdlib

They apparently say “gumband”

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026
Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.
Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

We made a big addition to PlanScore this week: a scenario adjustment tool to change, view, and share outcomes for district plans. I wrote up a short summary of the technical changes we made, and link from there to a wider review of the politics that motivate the work:
