If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’

graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.

I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.

There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

yup, but that answer was based entirely on the assumptions present in the question. D is all divisible work, and C is everything else, because that’s literally all you can assume to make the math work. D has to therefore be 12 months worth of divisible work minus C. C could very well be 12 months of work, meaning D is zero and adding more workers won’t matter.

Well, if T is total time to build, D is the time that can be distributed equally among any number of workers, and C is constant, indivisible time extra time that goes along with construction, and X is the number of workers, then:

T - C = D / X

so, since T is 12 and 6 is half of 12, then:

T/2 - C = D/X * 1/2

or

T/2 - C = D/2X where X > 0, C = 0, T=12, and D = (T - C) / X

which is both the answer it’s looking for (twice as many workers) and the correct answer (it depends on at least two things we don’t know), while assuming what they’re assuming, which is C = 0

Exactly, yes! They were self-limited, and the valar trusted them to be so, which is why Saruman turning evil caught Gandalf super off guard!

LotR magic is interesting. Sauron bred all kinds of monsters essentially “hacking the system” to produce something in a world where no one but Illuvatar can create life, and Melkor got around the whole life/sentience thing by convincing lesser spirits to inhabit this creations. Balrogs, werewolves, etc.

Other creations Melkor imbued with his own vast power, essentially spreading his “divine fire” out amongst his thralls, and thereby diminishing himself. Sauron eventually does the same, in creating the One Ring.

So, when Gandalf became Gandalf, his power to affect things was explicitly limited. , The basic difference between The Istari and Sauron: they did not seek to usurp their position in ‘the song of Illuvatar’. In fact the five Istari (Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast and the other unnamed two) were maiar spirits that had until that point stayed out of Arda (Earth) and all its shenanigans on purpose!

So, the staff served as a badge of office mostly. And thought it never stated, it’s kind of implied that some of their power is imbued within it. This is why Gandalf looks totally different when he comes back as the White, he took Saruman’s job as the head of the order, and had some more of his power unlocked as a result. The main strength of the Istari was their wisdom, knowing how the world worked and to a point, how “the song” was supposed to go. They were trusted to do the job (of taking down Sauron) because they wouldn’t use their knowledge and power to ‘hack the system’.

IMHO, Gandalf needed his staff not as a conduit of power here, but as an emblem of his station: He had to show Grima that his boss had just been fired.

It houses the flame of Anor! Thirty rounds of it!

Ok, well, if you ever come across a test framework named AuTest, you can blame me, because I’m stealing the shit out of that.

Up until now most people hated when shit randomly popped up while they were typing.

The Apple went and made the iPhone and now we have a whole generation that expects it.

Have you considered writing your own projects that you have to hide from your employers, and be careful with whom you discuss, so as to avoid the legal complications of the company owning your work?

Exactly! You actually CAN have 50 people finish something 50x faster, but it takes a shitload of planning, and that equals time and money no company I have ever worked for, or even known of, would allocate to something that isn’t generating immediate income.

Take the Hoover Dam for example: Dsigned over 3 ish years and built in 5, at a time when nothing that huge had ever been made before, at less than a billion in today money, and 2 years ahead of schedule. It’s 90 years old.

so far
