A while back, I got tired of dealing with the mess of Gatsby, Next.js, and Vuepress, so I made my own static site generator in Python. I don't want a GraphQL database for my static site. I just want something to template out my site&#x

I believe in this case they also killed the indie studio's contract.

Conda does their own thing, so I hope that this doesn't become commonplace. It's a nightmare of interop. Yes, it works for one person on a single laptop, but my experiences with conda outside of the happy path are universally terr

I've used Discord for years, and admin a small community server. With the new video chat features, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a B2B offering soon. I certainly hope that they do so: their platform is mature, and more useful

How does Snowpack compare to Rollup? I use Rollup because it's light-weight and dependency-free.

Agreed. There's tabletop outside of D&D and Adventure fantasy. Don't get me wrong: the genre is popular for a reason. Still, it's nice to give other worlds a try. One of my friends occasionally GMs a system of his own cre

Structured concurrency is why you should use Trio. What do you get? For starters, Ctrl-C/KeyboardInterrupt just works. By restricting the design space, you end up with much more intuitive designs. Obligatory Structured Concurrency essa

I will note that internships are still going on. Everybody also gets their housing stipend in cash.

Feedback on the tables: the vertical table headers are hard to read. Consider tilting them at an angle, or just switching to horizontal.

I believe Age doesn't have the dependency on messagepack. I do like Saltpack's ASCII armour format better, though.

Hot take: slack-style threads are bad for long-form discussion. They encourage forking, when what you really want is everyone to be on the same page. Traditional forum-style threads, or "channels" on a chat app, is optimal for dis

One of my classes (mandatory writing GenEd) had an online version, so we get the videos from last quarter, and Zoom discussion sections. So no, we're getting lectures over Zoom at the UCs, at least. If my group of friends had the incli

My main annoyance with Tailscale is the reliance on Google. I need to refresh my memory, but I think this makes a VLAN shared with other people impossible. This is why I'm still using https://zerotier.com -- also no affili

"Gamer" community bias, IME, as well as other internet-age communities. It's not the most general platform, but it's one of the best at what it does: voice and text. Video is just icing on top. If Discord had a version s

Honestly, after trying MyPy for a bit, I'm probably going to gradually type. There's some metaprogramming constructs (notably certain class decorators) that are not expressible in the type system, for one. This makes packages like

I personally use fswatch for this. The invocation is probably something like this: fswatch -0 ***.md | xargs -0 make I invoke a variant of this from my Makefile with a phony watch target. I think the main change is that I also echo

I use something very similar for mathematical homework and notes: MacVim, with a Makefile that runs Pandoc with the Eisvogel template. I also have a script that runs fswatch to run make on save. Didn't know about virtualedit, though: t

I had the opportunity to watch him lecture for a week, almost a decade ago. I don't remember what it was about (maybe Catalan numbers?), but ten years later, I wish I'd been able to recall more. Rest in peace.

I don't really get the hate for tweets. > Probably won't be able to read the tweet in the future when it gets deleted, no real context or other information in the tweet. I find the tweet helpful. I didn't know about BGPmon

I personally credit my own geometry education, as much as I disliked it, with giving me the tools I needed to succeed in Calculus. That Calculus final involved proving part two of the FTC. Fun times. AP Calculus? It's much less helpful

Amusingly, I was bit by this today because of some issues that required Cisco's secure email service: opened the attached HTML file, but couldn't log in, since they haven't added support for Same site. Found a workaround, but

I do use both — I actually used MPV before discovering IINA — but I like the UI of the latter, even if I still use MPV keybinds.

I agree. If there's been a recurring theme in every single data-touching class in my DS major, it's been ethics.
