It's actually worth taking your joke seriously to compare and contrast: - piku deploys via git rather than scp/sftp, but authenticates via ssh like those tools - piku supports a number of runtimes, including Python, Ruby, Node, Go

I love piku. I wrote a webapp tutorial for piku which got turned into a repo as part of the official GitHub piku org. You can find that here: https://github.com/piku/webapp-tutorial?tab=readme-ov-file#b... It explains

rga, aka ripgrep-all, is my go-to for this. I suppose grep is a form of AI -- or, at least, an advanced intelligence that's wiser than it looks. ;) https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all

This is a cool idea. I also really like simonw’s TIL feed: https://til.simonwillison.net/ Like a microblog of little learnings in day-to-day development. One interesting thing that occurred to me recently is that my persona

This algorithm seems to resemble HyperLogLog (and all its variants), which is also cited in the research paper. Using the same insight of the estimation value of tracking whether we've hit a "run" of heads or tails, but flipp

I was looking over some data from a similar article and I found it striking how many of these new business application increases were in the South, Mid-Atlantic, and Mid-West states, rather than the West or Northeast. (At least for 2020 vs

Yes, I saw the issue was already reported in hatch and being worked on so I assumed it'd make its way into rye eventually! Thanks for closing the loop!

I tried out rye + uv on a recent greenfield project. They are awesome tools and I'm really excited about their potential. For me, rye (+ uv underneath) has perhaps the perfect workflow for an open source Python project. So I'm def

Small correction: the post says "2019 pandemic," but the pandemic was actually in early 2020. "COVID-19" is so named because it is traced back to a first case in China in December 2019. WHO declared it a global emergency

One could argue: given that so much useful software has been written with Python after so many years without anonymous functions (beyond lambda expressions), perhaps GvR had some wisdom in never upgrading the lambda expression beyond single
