I don't yet have anything insightful to say about distorted tourist maps of cities but I'm very excited by them.

IIUC, uv is a fast, sane replacement for the pip tooling, which is great!
if you want an analogous fast, sane replacement for the conda tooling (which includes a broader range of stuff beyond pure Python), you might consider pixi: prefix.dev.
looks like NumPy recommends exactly these two options!

maybe this calls for an OS-level "tray" you can drag things into and out of?
(this too has a real-world equivalent: note the cute "coffee cup shelf" next to the door of All City Coffee in this unattractive photo I found online.)

Just learned tennis scoring; thanks @pte.bsky.social.
I thought the terminology was overcomplicated, until I saw that it turns an infinite state-space of scores into a finite one.
Q1. Is this bisimulation?
Q2. Generalize: Which winning-score sets A, B ⊆ ℕ² can be tracked with a finite # of states?

The newly-formed Seattle chapter of Wanderers Union is hosting our inaugural event this coming Saturday, February 1st.
It's a 4Z – 4 urban zones (by foot and public transit) in 4 hours.
All are welcome. DM me for details!

Do you see how the arrows connecting labels to their referents have extra "switchbacks"? I like this a lot. Does anyone know what it's called or where it comes from?

concrete example of my confusion:
I want to parse and then transform some markdown, and then save the AST.
seems like I need to do this in two separate "processors"? cuz there are methods to do 1/3 or 3/3 "phases" but not 2/3? what?
why are we not just calling functions here

Couldn't find a map to orient me around the basic topography of LA so I cooked this up & I like it. Plz lmk if you know something better or if I'm getting something wrong. 🙏
