> What this code does is read an index file that contains the list of R packages from CRAN, and subsequently download the description files of the first 200 packages to the user home directory (which is actually a virtual filesystem in WebR [1]).

So I think it's a virtual filesystem in browser memory.
You're thinking of memoization, which is related to but distinct from DP. Memoization is "top down", DP is "bottom up". DP generally has better space complexity (memory requirements). For example, for a function that computers the Fibonacci sequence, space complexity with memoization is O(n), vs O(1) with DP.
For the record, nobody says or believes this. We believe one should be free to change their gender, eg a woman should be free to live as a (trans) man. That's an entirely different thing than saying the man/woman dichotomy doesn't exist.
I also wish there were more compact options, but the Pixel 8 is 71mm wide and you can unlock the bootloader. And if you're gonna run a custom ROM, the Pixel 5 is still a decent option.
This! Whenever I mention that to me fancy light roasts taste sour, the response is almost always puzzlement, even from those who prefer dark roasts. Nice to know it's not just me.
It's a deliriant, not a disassociative. Worth mentioning the trip is said to be deeply unpleasant, and also the plant is poisonous.
But yeah I too find it interesting how a drug can seemingly yield the same specific hallucination in different people. See also spiders and DPH (another deliriant).
Alexander doesn't like sky scrapers, but he absolutely does not advocate for suburbia, at least not the the car-dependent hellscape you presumably have in mind.
You can archive considerable density without skyscrapers. In fact we've been building vibrant, walkable cities without skyscrapers for most of history.
It is absolutely not an anti pattern to check Direnv's `.envrc` in to source control, and if you don't then you're passing up on much of Direnv's value proposition.
Obviously don't put secrets in there. For secrets and overrides you can use separate a `.env` file which is not checked in, and source it in `.envrc` with `dotenv_if_exists`

I doubt that would work, but if it did, why exactly would it be "dumb"?

Nah, most the ideas in that channel are the output of decades of empirical research on road/street safety by Dutch government agencies.
This video [1] from another channel describes how Dutch legal reforms in the early 90's enabled this evidence-based planning by correcting incentives and dramatically simplifying the regulatory framework.
Can you expand on this? I don't understand.
