TIL—You can read Kaggle datasets directly with `kaggle:` with a @duckdb.org community extension called Gaggle. Check it out at: www.ssp.sh/brain/kaggle...

I want to believe that the development team at Google who worked on this YouTube app update actually wrote this.

Shrouds might not have pockets, but I'm afraid we do. Have a gift link on me. It's honestly well worth your time: www.economist.com/obituary/201...

I’ll start: pay rises for politicians that exceed inflation.

All in Python, with Typer and Rich!

Fuck you youtube recommendation algorithm

Universe, we’re relying on you to not give him a Nobel peace prize. Surely that would be in poor taste for multiple reasons.

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles. Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week. The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

New blessing just dropped today! 😭 🙏🏽 github.blog/changelog/20...

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

Caught myself trying to do pinch-to-zoom on a real world book. Wtf

Found uses for two of the cables in my enormous box of spares today. Winning. Keep the faith: it’ll happen one day.

@briancasel.com do you perceive “standards” and “conventions” as synonyms in a context engineering scope? Personally, I find conventions more inclusive and less judgemental. More about sharing than right/wrong. I think the jargon “conventions” over “standards” might impact adoption of agent os.

Surprise!!

in what can only be the most telegraphed heel turn: those who waxed lyrical about return to office, are now extolling the beautiful automated future of talking to chatbots in a call centre

Brilliant!!

Hard to phrase it better. Simon has been a superb software engineer before LLMs (he created Django and many others.) He’s been using and experimenting with these tools, uses them better than most of us devs and remains a superb software engineer. Some things don’t change

Just while wondering about digital modals and feature buttons, why do pedestrians have to press a button to prove their need? Shouldn’t equitable street use mean drivers need to request to cross too? I know that’s a silly question but the underlying privilege of car-centric design creates it. 1/2

@snarky.ca now that pylock is accepted, have you given thought to standardising the frontend implementation of Python build hooks? Current state has no universal implementation. Each tool does it’s own thing which limits portability and perhaps reproducibility.

Universe? Can please we get a fictional drama where Brian Blessed and Matt Berry play a father-son duo doing frankly anything while bellowing at each other and being over-dramatic?

'Saudi Arabia’s big businesses are embracing solar power as they seek to save on energy costs after the government eliminated electricity subsidies in the world’s largest oil exporter.' Behind a paywall but that sentence is the important part.

I hear there are massive profits in selling sugar pills and saline as the real deal. Reminds me of arms dealers who sell non-functional weapons.

If github copilot could make an educated guess that since I just did cmd+c, then I’m probably about to do cmd+v and the cursor should probably be there on this file, that would be nice.

Anybody else getting frustrated by the constant copilot suggestions and occasional typos where tab didn’t tab as intended?

Really?!? Git does not have pre-compiled, publicly available binaries available for download.

Interesting.

Saying "data doesn't lie" is like saying "words don't lie."

Just when you think you know git…

Noticed that the vscode extension for ruff has moved from charliemarsh to Astral.sh. I appreciate the hustle and commitment.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Please replace dbt-core with sdf but don’t change the licence to closed source.

Pointed Astral folks to a pathological resolver case that another Python packaging tool takes >45 minutes for after the latest major to see how uv does.
