That looks like a great CSV viewer. I've enjoyed using csvkit[^0] in the past. The viewer isn't as good as csvlens seem to be, but it comes with the ability to grep, cut and pipe CSV data which has come in handy. csvlens + csvkit

I have a lightweight way to use the pomodoro technique: I just start a pomodoro at x:00 or x:30 on the clock, and take a break at x:25 or x:55. This lets me work through a pomodoro when I'm super concentrated and doesn't introduce

A former colleague of mine left to work at a company that builds a voice-controlled lab assistant[^0]. The idea is that you can record data and ideas while your hands are busy dealing with samples or a microscope. I don't know how well

Came here to mention Refactoring UI. I think the structure makes it very valuable: Each one is focused on a particular problem or topic. So if you need help with font weights or spacing or shadows there is a chapter for that and I often go

Exactly. It's the migration support that I find the best feature of Django, but I keep forgetting about it until I have to migrate with some other ORM.

I agree. I would even go so far as to say that if you need an ORM, go with Django. I've wasted too much time adding SQLAlchemy to Flask to get something that is still worse than the Django ORM.

I'm excited to try the field group templates, I expect it to make handling forms styled with Tailwind much easier.

To put all of this into perspective, it would be good to know what "... not consistently candid in his communications with the board" means.

I was also looking into this, and couldn't find a way to do it. My guess is that it has support for time, but not for calendars. The fact that a "month" is a static length points in this direction. Maybe there's going to

I've been contemplating the impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) on our work and if their influence is ultimately gloomy. For me it seems to hinge on whether one is goal-oriented or process-oriented. For those who are goal-oriented,

This applies to everybody and every job: It's just that with CEOs "everything" is the whole company, while for an individual contributor "everything" is just the scope of their work. Once you look at this outside of

Why do you feel it's nonsense? I'm genuinely curios. Personally I'm using Tailwind for 90% of the styling. If I keep repeating a certain combination of classes often, I'll group it with a custom class. (Edit: See colejoh

I looked at buying transcrib.ing. I got quoted a reasonable price of €17,99 and a less reasonable setup fee of €1.525.570,80. I'm curious about the economics: Who gets that money? And I suppose you don't pay by credit card.

I'm not a native speaker, but as far as I know a "boffin" is not derogatory, at least in British English. I liken it to "nerd" in US English. From Wikipedia[^0]: > Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist,
