I just learned about gap from this article. Amazing. Yes dealing with margins between things but not on the edges was super annoying. I guess it’s time I drop IE11 support. https://caniuse.com/?search=gap

I've used pingplotter too. Good stuff. Also https://ping.pe/ is good.

Only secures installation, not runtime, but still helpful. I'm not a package maintainer, but I do wish that packages were not allowed to run any code at install-time.

Darn. Maybe the solution is to use vs-code client in the browser? Like vscode.dev or https://github.com/coder/code-server ? It limits what keyboard shortcuts and extensions are available, but at least it's in a se

PyScript ( https://pyscript.net ) recently came out, though I don't know if Django works with it yet.

It seems to me like they only do this in very very rare circumstances, maybe 3 times ever? And only when there's the threat of physical harm. It's rare enough that the CEO publishes a blog post every time they do it. "This is

Part of the issue is that 64-bit programs end up taking close to twice as much memory, because pointers are twice as big, instructions are longer, etc. Higher screen resolution uses more memory too. I'm sure dependencies / librari

Yeah when I saw 2em padding and 1.75 line height in the css I thought "too big". I think 1em padding and 1.5 line-height are a bit better for general defaults. It often can look better to have more whitespace, but it lowers inform

It's probably hard to get everyone to agree on the defaults, especially the width / line-length of content. I think it makes sense to default to no width constraint, zero padding rather than picking something arbitrary. I personal

The 360 probably came from an approximation of the number of days in a year.

Technically days get longer (hours of daylight) during the winter and shorter during the summer.

You don't need to read the code yourself, but ideally it should be vetted or reviewed by sources you trust. Maybe that's Debian / Ubuntu / Red Hat, or maybe it's through a review system like Rust's cargo-crev:

Yes, though I do think the python async ecosystem is gradually moving from a "3rd class citizen" to a "2nd class citizen". There are sync+async libraries like HTTPX that are gaining support. I don't expect it to rea

Python 2 or 3?

Right, though they're stuck on 1.8 (upgraded to 1.8 only so they could use python3), and really just use it for request/response/views, not ORM or anything else.

Interesting looks like it might actually be a python bug. Somehow just changing from sys.exit(0) -> os._exit(0) apparently fixes it. "There is a problem with using the sys.exit() in a forked process (child processes or workers) inst

Yes, they're working from the top of the stack down, so first it was views+middleware, now it's the top layer of the database stack, and in future releases they'll work on pushing native async lower and lower in the stack. Ba

Why do a REST-like service? It makes sense as backend for a native iOS/Android app, and if you already have that REST endpoint then it can make sense to re-use it for the web-version of your app. But if you're not doing an iOS&#x2
