If you’re interested in building a new general purpose search engine, it probably makes the most sense to start with Common Crawl’s data set and augment it rather than starting from scratch.

I don’t know about MicroPython or Arduino specifically, but I often call code I wrote in C or C++ using ctypes from regular Python.

That’s more or less how I read it, yeah. Pretty sure the authors were thinking in terms of GUIs having a field to enter that info when you make a user account on a system but I think something like that would meet the intent for programs to access the user’s declared age.

California fuckwit OS age verification means I’m going offline soon.

Go read the actual bill. It has issues, but it’s not an ID requirement. It’s an “are you over 18?” type of check (with several brackets) at the OS level.

If we’re including borderline fantasy options, a private Zeppelin might be neat…

No kids Trick-of-Treating showed up at my door yesterday, but holy shit it was loud outside. People (adults) were lining up stretching around the block to get into some event, I guess, in an adjacent building. Lots of yelling / very loud talking, honking, etc. Bunch of police sirens at like 3am or so. Some Friday nights are kind of like that normally around here, but this one was extra rowdy.

A breakfast burrito is kind of like a quick quiche. 🤔️

No; the calculation is using bytes not bits, so 3 is correct. (24 would be correct if it were bits.)

Been a long time since I’ve used a laptop, but usually when I’ve got a terminal open I’m doing something with Python these days. Often I just use it interactively as a calculator with some nice extra features. (I have some libraries like humanize installed in a local environment that I fire up frequently for quick tasks. That library can turn a number of bytes or seconds into easily readable approximations – e.g. humanize.naturalsize(1920*1080*3*60) spits out 373.2 MB for the size of 60 frames of uncompressed HD video.) I also have a bunch of custom scripts for various things – like a trivial spellchecker, custom image viewers, tools for converting timestamps between formats I use frequently, etc. Occasionally, I’m checking the load on a system with tools like htop, or logged into a remote system with ssh to fix something, running a long download with wget (or other tools), or re-encoding a video with particular settings using ffmpeg. Rarely I’m searching through my files with grep or other tools.
