I regret that I have but one up vote to give. I’m not optimistic for “Python Packaging Two Years Later” in 2025.

Agreed. I don't need to be convinced because I definitely do some language related tasks without using my normal, chatty inner monologue. For example, when I try to speak Japanese via an English inner monologue, it's extremely slo

I find if I listen closely to my inner voice, it starts going in a circle for exactly this reason. This makes me think maybe the actual order is backwards and the voice comes second, but it feels first because brains are weird.

Yeah and my blog post from 2020. It’s a convergent solution.

This seems like a good idea, but it will break lots of things. In particular, err != nil will break. Don’t do it.

Yeah, you should have an error domain and convert a sql.NotFound error to an app.NotFound error at the boundary. The http handler can then treat those as 404s.

KotH is almost unique in that the dad isn't the dumbest character. It's hard to name many other shows like this. Bob's Burgers, I guess, but that's about it.

My friend says she tries to model herself on the Mum from Bluey. I say it gives children unrealistic ideas about how much play time the average parent can engage in without getting a crick in their back.

I see people say that they're confused by it a lot, sure. But do the bugs get to production? That was my question. Buffer overflows get to production all the time! But do the concrete vs interface nils get to production or are they cau

I’ve never seen a real bug from the interface nil != concrete nil thing. When does it come up?

My favorite thing about the DC metro are the micro-targeted ads. Obviously, there's all the defense contractor junk at Pentagon City, but I also remember one at Foggy Bottom that was like "so-and-so is on the payroll of ISIS and t

Eva is on some level a parody of Gundam used to explore adult themes of depression, isolation, loneliness, parental conflict, and figuring out your sexual identity. It's more like Akira or Ghost in the Shell than it is like Pokemon or

To get through education, I had to set a lot of fake deadlines to get the panic monster to kick in sooner: "oh no, I need to have the first 1,000 words written by today but I don't!" It works but it makes you miserable becaus

Another way to make a fake tree is to store a JSON blob. If the data only has internal relationships, that can be easier than trying to keep the sort number unique and in order.

The last time I used Craigslist to apartment hunt, people spam the listings with the name of places 30 minutes away for some reason, as though I would just give up on living in the neighborhood I was searching for if I saw there was somethi

Plain CSRF wouldn't help because they're scraping the site and executing the JS. It has to be time delayed CSRF so they give up and submit before it's loaded. The real solution is to use a CAPTCHA, but they're so user ho

That reminds me of my terrible spam prevention hack. We kept getting a bunch of spammers signing up for our newsletters, so I made the form require a JavaScript based hidden input to submit. That worked for a while, but then new spammers st

Fetch exists because everyone just writes a 10 line adaptor function that looks like fetch anyway, so might as well build it into the browser and save the trouble for people who don't need progress events.

The word dao literally means “road” but by the time of the DDJ, it had come to mean “way of doing something” and “speech that explains how to do something”. Interestingly, in Greek “method” is meta + hodos and hodos means “road” so it’s an

The joke is that as a person who lives on the East Coast, I end up with files or whatever from Dec. 31, 1969, which is a very random date until you realize it's localizing the zero timestamp into my local timezone. My brother-in-law on
