If the emojis are not clear this is what i meant Rust + Python = Mojo ๐ฅ* * They use of the fire emoji is not me endorsing Mojo. I am still not sure about it. I am using the fire emoji as an icon for Mojo.

This is hostile shit folks
First they don't let you download a binary file. They expect you to run some curl script to install it.
Second they only allow you to download it using a download token. Maybe they are just using it to track downloads. Maybe they are using it to setup some kind of telemetry service to see what you are running. We can't tell because Mojo is still closed-source.
And last, the install script expects you to have some kind of package manager installed. They support
TLDR,
Mojo: Hi, i am Spyware + Rushed release + Closed Source
Me: Good bye

apt, dnf and yum. So i am definitely not trying it out since i am on nixos and i am not combing through the install script to see how i could download a single binary.TLDR,

Implemented Super Tic Tac Toe in Elm ๐ณ. It had been a long time since i programmed using it and i had forgotten how wonderful it is. If you ignore the little bit of HTML/CSS/JS holding the Elm together, this project was completely built using functional languages.โฆ
The super tic-tac-toe game got featured in the Elm newsletter. ๐

This Lex Fridman podcast looks like it's going to be a good one.
Walter Isaacson, is a popular author, who has written well renowned biographies of Steve jobs, Einstein, Da Vinic, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Kissinger. He has been accused of preaching the Great Men theory history, because he presumably overstates the contributions of single actors in the progress of history.
Although in my opinion, there are definitely times in history when a single individual has massively accelerated/enabled some path of progress and of course the people who have done that where building on the shoulders of everyone that came before them but often the last 1% is the hardest part.
Not only that but also in my opinion the "great men" theory of history can be considered as motivating to some extent, because the alternative is believing that your contribution won't affect much change and that it's just a 0.0001% of the total, and even if you don't do 0.0001% of the work somebody else inevitably will. That's kind of demotivating for me. My belief is that even if i am doing 0.0001% i wanna feel like i am the person doing the whole thing, even if that's not true.
All the text above is meant to preface the following, Walter Isaacson is also doing a biography of Elon Musk which i think will be released tomorrow (September 11, 2023) and i am excited to read it. So don't call me an Elon Musk fanboy or claim that i am part of the manosphere for being interested in Elon Musk, i am neither. I know exactly what I am doing.
Now let me get back to the podcast ๐

In the Beginning was the Command Line
by Neal Stephenson (author of Snow Crash, the king of cyberpunk fiction).
I just finished reading this essay/semi-book. The essay centers the discussion around OSes and also talks about the CLI vs GUI debate. It talks about the inherent dumbing down of capable machines that is the GUI and how and why the CLI is better. The essay also talks about the general problem of machine-to-human interfaces.
