Another person here mentioned a comment "More overheads for infra tools to accomadate." I agree. I am using python as my main language these days, coming from JS and C++ and a bit of rust. The biggest problem I face is that the to

Thanks for taking me down the rabbit hole. I didn't know there was an esoteric programming language called Piet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_programming_language#...

Check out the gritql example from morgante. That does a lot of cool things and is what you are looking for.

I used to love watching basketball. I hate all the ads now and don't want to have my kids see that. But, what's the alternative? Going to a live event, for two bad teams, for four people, cost me over $500 a year ago. I can't

I love your blog! Most blogs are clearly firewalled from the human that wrote them. But, yours almost feels like you take a bit of your lifeforce and somehow imbue it into the blog itself. Those posts are alive. I hope it isn't like a

I'm currently fighting with a fastapi python app deployed to render. It's interesting because I'm struggling to see how I encode the image and send it using curl. Their example sends directly from the browser and uses a data

But, could this be an interesting inflection point, where rich doctors and even richer executives of insurance companies are now starting to eat each other.

For the record, I love propublica reporting. And, here is something I wish all articles posted: "as reporters, we also tried to look at other utilities, and only 37% of them reported data." I think these news articles are often sk

I'll try this. I love emacs but wish there was a way to use package-install to set that up. This is confusing to me. I'm not sure how lsp gets initialized, for example.

I'm usually a Linux user but I'm on macos right now. Is that just a python metapackage that installs all the things you need? Thanks for the response.

I was ready to sign up after I read the article. But, when I click on the button at the bottom ("Ready to fix with a click?"), nothing happens. After open dev tools, I can see it registers the click with a linkedin ad tracker netw

I just switched to T-Mobile because my kids all have watches that only work on T-Mobile. It's insane what they are charging. Is this the life hack to get inexpensive service? I see that people are recommending the xiaomi flip phone, bu

I have kids and I'm really bothered by MrBeast. I had to buy goddamn chocolate bars at Walmart because of him. I acknowledge he is creative and driven but the content is such crap, with a few exceptions that my kids point out. But, wha

I subscribe to a ton as well. The production quality isn't anything like NYT or Rolling Stone used to be. That's probably coming. But it'll be interesting to find a sweet spot in between tiktok videos and well written and bea

It'll be interesting to see how substack tries to hold these authors and avoids fading into the background. Their monetization options are the best in the industry right now, but I wonder how authors feel about the network effect they

From my reading I couldn't tell they were crypto bros. That was obvious to you from reading it, or did you know about them prior?

Yes, none of the victims, at least from the sentencing report, sound like they were vocal crypto bros. They sounded more like regular families. If they weren't public figures, I also would really like to know why they were targeted. Th

Let's do note that on that graph which mapped a variety of increased costs, the only thing that increased faster than college costs was the cost of medical. That's connected to the shortage of doctors. Regulatory capture isn'

The post suggests getting a real device. Where the heck do you get a real device these days? Is there some retro hardware out there? An open source project where you send out a PCB order to Shenzhen?

This is one of the saddest posts I've read in a long time. I love exercism. It's beautiful, works in the browser and from CLI. The lessons are really well designed. It's the perfect coding school environment. So, I'm sad
