Oh, I see. It kind of makes sense. Who'd need Jython when GraalVM's out there nowadays!? Well, unless it's a legacy app ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

You've probably already checked it out but make sure you've got only one of .profile, .bash_profile, .bashprofile. bash will only execute one of them in case there's more than one (not sure which one off the top of my head.)

That's something over which I used to be very jealous of Windows laptops ๐Ÿ˜• But that was years ago...now my aging 3.2kg ThinkPad is just a "stationery" workstation!

Not a direct answer to your question but here's what I've learned and am learning:

It all boils down to "finding the right balance between the costs of implementation, the value the implementation offers given the circumstances and constraint." Essentially, the foundational guideline of engineering across all engineering principles.

Usually every decision brings about about a series of advantages/improvement but it's important to remember that "one must lose in order to gain."[1] That is, every improvement (value) comes at a price (cost). Unlike other principles of engineering (which are closer to bare maths), software engineering more closely resembles something intuition-based like art. That is what makes it difficult to see the values and costs and measure them. It takes lots of practice and introspective and extrospective (!) effort; doing things and potentially making mistakes and learning from them is as important as observing others do things and make mistakes.

In other words, it boils down to honing your intuition to "do the right thing, at the right time, the right way."

PS: Please note that I used the word "right" and not "correct."

I genuinely wonder why the downvotes?

I'm already liking it - I've switced to it as my main keyboard. I'm actually typing this on my phone (miserably slowly ๐Ÿ˜‚ - it definitely needs practice getting used to.) I think it's a good practice for the memory muscles & the brain! Thanks.

Good refresher on the topic and ineteresting gory details of CPython impl.

On another note, is Jython still a thing?

"Azure"..."secure". Interesting ๐Ÿ˜†

Can't install any virtualization software besides docker - corporate policy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

OK, I just realised you've already done something similar. Scratch what I wrote.

Have you tried putting the display to sleep from the CLI and see if there's any meaningful output?

I'm not at my desk but something like: https://askubuntu.com/questions/62858/turn-off-monitor-using-command-line

In the same vein, often times changing the port the mouse is connected to fixes it for me.
