Started migrating to Bsky today! History should appear in the next few days.
(Will probably be on both platforms for a bit still though.)

Man it's really annoying that python's otherwise-awesome pathlib.Path breaks in a bunch of cases where os.access works fine.
Path().is_dir(), .is_file(), .exists() all unecessarily call .stat() and break occasionally, when os.access(...) or os.path.isdir(), etc. work fine.

Ok this is kind of absurd. I just switched over @ArchiveBoxApp to uv, and it ran our typically ~1 min build+publish in under 2 seconds.
It's singlehandedly making me want to stay on python compared to JS.
👏 👏@charliermarsh @astral_sh amazing job

I kinda miss the "Hi this is Visa Mastercard" scam guys
anyone still get those calls?
I'd just keep trying to ask them "so which one are you?" in different ways for like 30min

Stay far away from @portalbridge_ , I've tried to swap tokens 3 times now and all three times it eats the gas fees, does no swap, and support doesn't help at all.

Finally updated my coding workflow to modern tools, highly recommend if you've been putting it off:

- Google Search -> Kagi
- Sublime Text -> VSCode
- GPT-4o -> Claude 3.5
- Copilot -> Cody + Tabnine
- node -> bun
- mypy -> pywrigt
- Bootstrap -> Ant 5

I'm consistently surpised at how much better Claude 3.5 is at generating code that works on the first try compared to GPT-4o

an interesting counter-argument to using assassination as a tool of foreign policy:
autocrats already assume their position entails risk. it disproportionately harms democracies because fewer/worse ppl will run for office when it has higher...

I've decided to make all my projects run as if they are in a prod environments by default, at the expense of new dev onboarding ux.
I've seen too many prod servers started in insecure dev modes due to missing or broken ENV vars in a yaml file, causing fallback to dev defaults.

Hey @GoPro how is it possible that it's 2024 and your cameras still:
- reset the time to 2016 every time you remove the battery
- fail to add GPS location to 90% of videos I take
- constantly create video files with duplicate names
- fail to charge / self-discharge randomly
- reset the time to 2016 every time you remove the battery

These are driving me insane, disabling them in Google Account settings and Chrome settings doesn't work, and they're not part of the page HTML so adblock doesn't work. How do I stop this madness?!

Is it just me or is the iPad CPU comically overpowered?
I don't think iOS apps have been CPU constrained in years, and there's an artificial floor on responsiveness imposed by animation delays so they never "feel faster"

Has anyone tried using a bottle of Zbiotics as a starter culture to grow their own?
I feel like you could just split a bottle into 4 shot glasses of pocari sweat and have 4 doses of Zbiotics in a few days?

I cant wait till we can do full active<->active SQL replication between server & client WASM-based SQLite.js (OPFS) / PGLite. The future is so exciting.
Screw redux and all the other state management libs, they've served us well but it's time for SQL on the frontend!
