For people worried about the keyboard typing, I've been very curious about the Titan Pocket as an alternative option. Square screen (fun!), "real" keybaord... the biggest problem seeming to be that the keyboard is intentional

I would like for more venv sharing, but rye is leaning heavily into correctness, which (in the current Python universe) is much easier to do by recreating the world.

I've also compiled python from source a good amount, and it usually works... until some thing where I realize some standard lib wasn't compiled because I was missing an optional dependency. But some lib assumes that it was always

Rye has been wonderful for me. Works so nicely and isn't adding too many opinions. Things like poetry tend to really be not amenable to certain workflows, which has likely made many people stick around to `pip -r requirements.txt`.

Because it's not just this but a bunch of random groups? My local library has events in meeting rooms for ESL speakers to practice English, baby book reading clubs, board game meetups, study sessions, sessions to help people with tech

Not in Tokyo. The meme is that you basically need to pay somebody if you want to sit down and get some peace and quiet for a bit in the afternoon.

Correctness? I feel like in the world of Javascript and Ruby (and hell, even Julia with some of its really gnarly bugs!), Python is pretty serious about having code do what it's supposed to do. There are surprises downstream, but a hel

the example posted in that github issue is using filter in a way that is causing its own problems. If you generate stuff randomly, then filter out stuff matching some property, you're basically playing the lottery while generating!

I will say that it's _extremely easy_ to just list `Dockerfile` in your output dependencies if it matters enough for you to care. Stuff from apt/etc as well? put the install script in the dependencies. Really care about the versio

Patrick's point about off-record transactions feels important here. Each on-record transaction leads to an opportunity for off-record transactions to be discovered! On-record ones are likely clean in some sense, whereas 10 years of no

people totally use RSS feeds still. So many systems just make it by default, and I (and many other people) just use RSS readers for following blogs and whatnot. It's not a complicated thing to get setup! There's a bunch of details

Is there any context into why this was put into place at the time it was? I would like to understand why this was set up.

I was lucky enough to go to this in 2019 (thanks Gary for organizing Deconstruct right at the moment in my life where I could make the trip!), and honestly it was _so motivating_. There's obviously some nostalgia, but seeing a bunch of

Thanks for confirming this, I appreciate the blunt perspective here. The idea of even having to think about your own safety in that way is something I have never had to experience. I have stressed out a lot about money before, but I have ne

I don't want to exotisize "blue collar" labor. That being said, I've always wondered if burnout ends up being more likely in roles where you feel like you're suppose to care. Being bored all the time is annoying and

I mean all of their leaks are politically motivated, they are axiomatically a cutout. acting scandalized that someone tried to leak stuff is weird. I get the overworked argument in theory, but odd they didn’t publish it at all in the end.

I thought there was some story about Wikileaks receiving a bunch of stuff regarding Russian gov't officials and there was internal debate in the org and it ended up not being published. Was that just a made up story?

It would be interesting to have a workbook of what people consider valuable examples of issues we are trying to solve. Like property checks are sometimes easy to write, when your property aligns well with property checking models! But then

Wonder how they block the card, my impression was that tokenization was meant to make it harder for card chargers to be able to track a card through multiple taps like that.

throughput, throughput, throughput. Magstripes tend to work not so well when you have the ticket in your pocket for a couple days, printed codes involve people futzing with cameras. You can use a sort of card ingestion system to line up a Q

It's not really on the technical side of thigns, but the unification of IC cards across transportation companies has a good write up [0] that has a bunch of fun details. My favorite thing is how the people working on the project just h

At peak hours it can definitely be a problem, you really need the entire pipeline to work well. There's going to be somebody behind you most of the time, and you really don't want people stuck at the gates. In Japan credit card tr

It sounds like it was mostly an issue with releasing so late in the SNES lifecycle more than anything. I bet the original cartridge was quite expensive but how long until you recoup? Remember, in 1997 you were going to shop anyways. Major s

Regional restrictions are always a bit terrifying to navigate because there are so many one-way streets. Change your Spotify credit card 2 years after you moved, realize you now can’t access a bunch of music you previously could. Same with

I feel like a lot of major urban centers have "that" store whose entire business model is collecting electronics from failing businesses and then selling that. Great way to get a bunch of extremely underpowered Windows laptops or

Big value from museums is curation. You can get context (for example, pieces done by the same person just before or after), explanations (I recommend audio tours! There's loads of info there), and even just having the experience of see

It also still has some stuff to munch on, despite the dice still playing a huge part. You can feel some sort of tactical positioning more or less impossible in a lot of classic board games. Still kinda rough though
