  • Ubuntu was busted. Power died while casting, which crashed the video cards or gpu, then the drivers (nvidia?) were trying to write to syslog and filled the entire disk (used >70GB). Booted into recovery mode (escape during startup, drop into root shell). Ran sudo apt autoremove. Then sudo rm /var/log/syslog.
    • Audio devices just listed dummy output so I had to run `pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload` to get the speakers back.
    • Had to run `sudo pip install py` in the system python env as well.
  • Went to the getty.
  • Unloaded dishwasher. Cleaned. Shaved. Haircut appointment. Thawed mouse. The usual.
  • Jeop tournament of champs over. Holzhauerrrrr.
  • Python 3's addition for types is only type hints. You can enforce types at runtime with other packages, like this one: https://github.com/agronholm/typeguard.
  • Didn't do a huge comparison to piptools or pipenv or sx-setuptools or req-compile, but there's another hot env/req manager called poetry: https://poetry.eustace.io. Sent to Spencer.
