Yup, this is an emulator for a book published in the 1980s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Adventure (part of a series of 10, looks like the emulator has 6 of the books already!).
I remember seeing these books in my elementary school library decades ago (pre-PC ubiquity) and wondering what to do with them.

Really? Jetbrains has their own AI? Their terms seem to indicate that they use 3rd party models. https://www.jetbrains.com/legal/docs/terms/jetbrains-ai/serv...

Maybe Nougat? The examples look pretty impressive:

the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a Final Determination prohibiting Kaspersky Lab, Inc. (as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parent companies), from directly or indirectly providing anti-virus software and cybersecurity products or services in the United States or to U.S. persons.
Kaspersky will generally no longer be able to, among other activities, sell its software within the United States or provide updates to software already in use.
The Determination allows Kaspersky to continue certain operations in the US—including providing anti-virus signature updates and codebase updates—only until 12:00AM EDT September 29, 2024.

I think the closest I've seen to a SQL experience for JSON is how steampipe stores json columns as jsonb datatypes and allows you to query those columns w/postgres JSON functions etc.
- https://steampipe.io/docs/sql/querying-json#querying-json #example w/the AWS steampipe plugin (I think this is a wrapper around the AWS go SDK)
- https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/config #I think this lets you query random json files.

The number of U.S. farms continues slow decline:
https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery...
Note the relatively constant amount of farm land and corresponding increase in farm size. See e.g. https://time.com/5736789/small-american-farmers-debt-crisis-...
"Many small family farms are struggling under crippling debt, and failed payments and farm bankruptcies are rising. To make things worse, the prices paid to farmers for commodity crops (agricultural crops grown in large quantities for sale in the global market, such as corn, soy, cotton, and wheat) and subsidies are falling because of increased supply due to technology and globalization." https://foodrevolution.org/blog/small-family-farms/

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of the ecosystem in Poland!
By the way, Parcel lockers do exist in the US (at least for Amazon package deliveries) https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=.... The US also has Post Office (PO) boxes that you can rent for a nominal fee a month (these are basically lockers for all types of mail including parcels).

When enough blood, sweat, dirt, and grime builds up on the IDE to paint it black.
More seriously, I see some plugins for reskinning to dark themes https://thonny.org/#plugins (e.g. https://github.com/ranelpadon/thonny-onedark/)
Maybe that's a feature? You know you're getting into the swing of things when you start customizing your IDE.
* they've done about $152B in stock buybacks since 1990 https://www.intc.com/stock-info/dividends-and-buybacks. I think... ~$108B in the last decade.
* during the same time period they fell behind TSMC and SEC in semiconductor fab , missed the boat on mobile (couldn't really capture the market for either smartphone or tablet CPUs), and are missing the boat w/AI training https://www.hpcwire.com/2025/07/14/intel-officially-throws-i...
Discussion of Intel's buyback behavior as excessive and wasteful was also picked up on during all the discussion of CHIPs subsidies last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39849727 see also https://ips-dc.org/report-maximizing-the-benefits-of-the-chi...
