found this when peeps were arguing whether to implement python 2.0 in Java in 1997 python workshop lol
"Python in Java's Advantages"
"Using Java as the underlying systems language for Python has a number of advantages over the current implementation of Python in C. First and foremost of these in my mind is the opportunity to ride the Java popularity wave and let Python code run everywhere there's a Java VM. It also makes the rich set of portable Java API's available from within Python. There is also a nice collection of technical reasons why Java is a superior implementation language for Python than C. These include Java's binary portability, thread-safety, object-orientation, true exceptions, garbage collection, and friendliness to glue languages. More questions need to be answered before I can make a convincing argument that Python 2.0 should be implemented in Java rather than C. Nonetheless, I think that Java offers many advantages for Python as both an implementation language and a widely available run-time platform."

"What particular statement intrigues me here is the sentence:
"More questions need to be answered before I can make a convincing argument that Python 2.0 should be implemented in Java rather than C".
"I was wondering if this is seriously being considered -- that is implementing Python 2.0 in Java rather than C. While I understand that there are some technical challenges with this (notably interfacing to the existing C implemented extensions), I personally think there is a lot to be said for compiling Python to the JVM. For example: access to the Java apis, garbage collection, true compilation, the ability to write statically typed code (just write that part in Java!), access to Swing, promoting Python on the coat-tails of Java (free publicity and hype), etc."

python running on JVM would've been epic 💀

The second thing is being on the employer side taught me a lot, many of the people who apply don't read the job description, their resume isn't good and their cover letter is completely different from the job description and they wonder why they couldn't get…

Sir Isaac Newton's insane study routine
He worked seven days a week, 18 hours a day, and he pushed himself even further.
Newton got admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge in the year 1661. In the year 1664, he got a scholarship to study for four more years to finish his MA but in the same year, England was hit by Bubonic plague due to which the University was closed for two consecutive years. Due to this reason, Newton had to go back to his home in Woolsthorpe. These two years turned out to be the most productive and mind-wrenchingly stressful years for Newton. During these two years, he spent most of his days, most of his hours, studying in a room with nothing but lighting candles, loads of books, and notes around. It is reportedly said that he used to get so engrossed in his works that he would forget and skip his meals. During this period, Newton used to spend 16-18 hours a day working and studying in his room totally undistracted. He came up with the theory of gravitation, his significant works in optics, and he also invented calculus during these Bubonic plague times at his home. According to biographer Gale Christianson, Newton's working habits were pathologically addictive and for him, there was no end to the day. He would just keep going on and on and on until he felt exhausted to death. In the 1680s, when Newton was rigorously working to publish his lifelong works in his book Principia Mathematica, as mentioned by one of Newton's employees, he would often go to sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. He barely attended any social events or participated in any recreational activities.

Get down and get your shit done. Work hard enough to get addicted to what u are doing.

things i missed, @bekacru_c made this auth library. really impressive stuff from Beka. i once abandoned a project because of NextAuth. this might be the time i am gonna have less stress with handling auth. also, @gebeta_tech made this site for searching and downloading books. the community is cooking lately 🔥
