Whilst I enjoy their topics, I do admit their banter feels like it's talking down to the audience

NTS and Radio6, genuinely enough to expose me to new things

Is proot related to Gvisor?

wasn't familiar with proot -- with a quick look I think proot is a fancy chroot -- which, in turn, is kind of "the first step" for a generic container.

to achieve the isolation that gvisor offers you would have to intercept syscalls, create a separate mount/user/net namespace etc.

regardless, I don't think proot is somehow related to gvisor ;)

It does though, it has user-space implementations of chroot, mount and kernel syscalls. You can even run a debian image built with a later kernel on an older linux system

This is an advert.

You might have enabled the "Focus Macro" mode, which gives better pictures but requires a steady hand and patience

bash history and persistent configs across updates are huge QoL wins for me

What do you mean by persistent configs? OpenWrt always preserved the config between upgrades.

Do you not see LLM's catching up with your experience fast?

You might not lose your job, but you'll definitely have to take a pay cut

    At the starting of the week
    At summit talks you'll hear 
    them speak
    It's only Monday

    You could be sitting, 
    taking lunch
    The news will hit you like 
    a punch
    It's only Tuesday

    We'll all go running 
    underground
    And we'll be listening for 
    the sound
    It's only Wednesday

    You'll hear a whistling 
    overhead
    Are you alive or are you 
    dead?
    It's only Thursday

    Though that shelter is your 
    home
    The living space, you have 
    outgrown
    It's only Friday

    Tomorrow never comes until 
    it's too late

Isn't that just quadratic programming?

I have nothing to say about Quadratic Programming, so you tell me.

What I can say is that every reference I've found to Bill Gosper's algorithm describes the data structure as an immutable quadtree with canonicalized nodes, id est, there is extensive structure sharing in a Game of Life quadtree. That in turn facilitates heavy memoization.

The wikipedia entry for Quad Trees mentions Hashlife explicitly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree

You are a small minority of parents who have the time, energy, and perhaps money to do so.

I'm not sure the vast majority of parents have any of those and would happily welcome a compromise where they hand their kid a tablet and it's a tame device
