I love reading Python code, and I have learned so much from going through the Requests, Flask and pyca/cryptography repos. This is a really interesting readthrough of one of the stdlib modules that I wouldn’t ever have considered.

Reading Nightmare Before Xmas to my daughter before bed is always a joy, but I just cannot get “Macabre” and “job” to fit, without putting on a strong American accent, anyone else faced this problem?

Let’s face it, NG has not written comics in a very long time. The new Miracleman reads like the new issues have been by largely by Mark Buckingham. Sandman and a few miniseries here and there just aren’t enough to say he’s one of the best British writers ever

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.
