There's a science fiction book declassified by CIA a while ago. The book is called The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas.

It's a sci-fi story theory about how the world ended several times and how it will end again.

I started reading it and found it fascinating. This doesn't look like any kind of science fiction. It is more like a conspiracy theory by scientists.

The full uncensored book can be found here: https://archive.org/details/ChanThomasTheAdamAndEveStoryTheHistoryOfCataclysms1993FullUNCENSORED/page/n7/mode/2up

I learned about the book on Reddit:

Edit: I finished the book. It's ... never mind. Doesn't worth the time.

I had the wrong idea for a long time that IDEs treat method/function without return type hint as returning None type.
I was wrong. In PEP484, it says IDE should treat such a method/function as a type that is as general as possible. Ah that just makes sense.

PEP 3107 introduced syntax for function annotations, but the semantics were deliberately left undefined. There has now been enough 3rd party usage for static type analysis that the community would benefit from a standard vocabulary and baseline tools w...

A friend showed me how to use this tool called commitizen to manage commits and releases.

It took me a while to realize that this is a great tool. I haven't exhausted all commands in it but I already feel its power.

I usually don't trust human beings because we all make mistakes. I trust processes because they can miminize all kinds of risks quite fast.
commitizen is a tool that sets up a process. With that, each individual can just follow through. Less manual decisions makes the release process more robust.

Highly recommended! Try it out.

What is wrong with you guys. Neovim is just an editor.

I liked Fig a lot. It was mostly an install and forget extension. Now Amazon bought the company, and it is part of the infamous codewhisper.

Do you have an alternative for Fig? I don't like Warp because it implements a lot of distractions.
