One nice quality of life improvement for i3 is update the window names dynamically and use emojis for applications

Congrats on the launch!
Just curious if you're interested in an incubator? We went through the Oxford Foundry[1] last year and would highly recommend it.

This is still one line of code.
It is a valid python program . This is because python will join strings that are adjacent strings (eg. "foo " "bar" is evaulated just like "foo bar") and while multiline strings are commonly used as comments they are evaluated as a string-literal rather than a comment.

Also super bored in lockdown so I made this for our toddler, motivation here:

From 4 years in a large public quant house (not HFT): everything upstream of trade execution is Python with very heavy use of numpy, scipy and pandas. This has pros and cons, on balance I'd prefer a better type system, but that everyone in the org can share code has tremendous value at scale.
Briefly, the faster your execution the faster everything else needs to be. Java should be fast enough for almost anything short of HFT + colocation which is super expensive infra wise.
The skills are not different from other backend roles, but you will need to exercise more math with emphasis time series and stats.

I was _so_ excited when Rocket League first came to Linux, but that was several years before Proton[1] was released.
But according to [2] the game runs really well on Linux via Proton. Personally, I don't see any problem using Proton to play the game on my Linux gaming-rig.

TimescaleDB looks really very promising but this is a red flag:
"Hypertables support all standard PostgreSQL constraint types, with the exception of foreign key constraints on other tables that reference values in a hypertable"[1]
Naively I'd assume this could cause a two-colouring of your schema - the partition that can use referential integrity and another with hypertables that doesn't which feels like a pretty big trade-off.

Very excited by the prospect of a modern terminal-mail client that is easier to use!
After following the README: this is clearly not ready/designed for wide consumption - the recipe neglects to mention how to install a custom doc-tool called scdoc (by the same author?) that is required to build it - and there are no pre-built binaries (that I can see).

I see the same from London.
