Powerbank is a wrong keyword here, what you want to look for is something like “USB-C power supply with battery”, “USB-C uninterruptible power supply”, etc. Lots of results on Ali for a query “usb-c ups battery”.

I wonder if it’s possible to compile Postgres directly into a Python extension instead of WASM. Just import it and go forth, no node dependency, nothing.

I am not arguing against that language ideally should have less features. I am arguing with “Python is getting huge”, because it’s huge and has been for many-many years :)

This is a pretty simple and useful feature. I wouldn’t say that it bloats the language too much. Descriptors and metaclasses are much more complicated and have a lot more implications and have been in the language for a veeeeery long time.

GP commenter complains that it’s not AI that came up with an idea and implemented it, but a human did. In the few years we will see complaints that it’s not AI that built a power station and a datacenter, so it doesn’t count as well.

If you formulate the warnings just right, you wouldn’t need to “force” it, as kids will be willing to look both sides themselves. They like to be alive.

Any age. There is no right age to jump out of the window on the 10th floor, no right age to cross a busy interstate by foot, no right age to set a bed on fire. You wouldn’t allow a kid to do it (and similar things) at any age. Would you? :)

Yep, it works for majority of children, but not for all of them. Folks that had a couple of kids with whom it did work spread it as a gospel. You can try many other things, and maybe you’ll find something that works some of the time. “What

Whenever we do recursive, or really long queries (not often), we’re dropping to basically raw SQL with sqlalchemy.text(). It’s really a lot to keep it wholly in SQLAlchemy: write a complex query in SQL, convert to SQLA, and remember how all

by murkt 2y ago
Yeah! With SQLAlchemy as a query builder I can easily find all usages of a particular column with Find Usages action in PyCharm. With strings it’s not as easy, and some columns are not really greppable (id, author_id, user_id, etc). Also, h

Haven’t seen a mention in readme, but I’ve found in the sources some nicety for INSERT/VALUES too!

That is a really neat library! Can see myself using it quite a lot.
75.
by murkt 2y ago
No, you’re not naive. If it’s done by one-two people that know what they’re doing, it should be done much faster. If it’s a big new team that doesn’t know what they’re doing, working separately from existing codebase, with lots of meetings…

In my experience it doesn't matter if templates are pretty simple, or the database access is not optimized. Can matter if you're not careful.

Would love to see some benchmarks for all these libraries that compare them to Jinja2.

Yes, Starship needs legs to land on the Moon or Mars. They will be lighter than legs for Earth landings, as Moon/Mars have lower gravity. Not sure about the amount of fuel needed to land, as there is much less atmosphere on Mars, and n

Yes, when goal isn’t to support 100% of all the weird stuff, then it’s orders of magnitude easier!

Author hasn’t tried to highlight TeX. Which is good for their mental health, I suppose, as it’s generally impossible to fully highlight TeX without interpreting it. Even parsing is not enough, as it’s possible to redefine what each characte

155mm shells are $3k-10k per piece. So it’s more like 5-20x than FPV drone.

Python missed the race pretty heavily with 2to3 transition and still came out on top.

Imagine how different the Python ecosystem could be, if this was done 20 years ago.

Wow, hearing about “tea mushroom” (that’s how it’s called in Ukraine) for my whole life, and it’s not a mushroom! Fascinating.

That's not too HTMX-friendly technology, is it?

by murkt 2y ago
I guess you're right and "impossible" was too strong of a statement. I just didn't feel like debugging those CSS things, especially when adding any new Leaflet plugins, or any other things. So I just switched to a style

Yes, map styles are affected by the classless CSS.

HTMX, Unpoly and Twinspark are great, can't say anything about Raku. I also really liked an idea about class-less CSS frameworks, as I was frustrated with all the `<table class="table">` and so on. Then I've tried

Agree, Facebook can be easily done with HTMX and similar things. How would you do that with Figma, YouTube, etc?

I'm using twinspark.js: https://twinspark.js.org/ It has "actions" that bridge a need for some client-side interactivity, without resorting to write lots and lots of JS. I have some interactive stuff that don
