Wonderful update to Sketch today. We design all our apps with Sketch — a great mac-assed Mac app.

@sdw how do you handle working with multiple people? We used to use Abstract but I believe Sketch has their own thing now.

For the first time in years, I won’t be watching an Apple event live, as I’m attending an espresso brewing course in a few hours.

Hoping to avoid any spoilers and watch the event after the course. Hoping I’ll have enough self-control to stay off Mastodon until I’ve watched the event tonight 😄

@simonbs I wonder what that class would entail? I took a latte art class that was really fun.

You know how Baratza products NEVER GO ON SALE? It's been the modus of Baratza for almost their entire existence.

Well, today, in a flash deal, Baratza's Encore ESP is ON SALE at Amazon, for $160. This literally never happens:

As we do our silly Chicago tradition of dyeing the river a violent shade of green, I think it's a good time to remind people that our ancestors reversed the flow of the river to provide safe drinking water from Lake Michigan and earlier, in the 1860's, lifted the entire city to improve drainage and public health.

Remember that any time someone says heat pumps and renewable energy are hard.

@TechConnectify similar vibes to when someone tells me that we can’t add enough capacity to the grid to charge electric cars. I’m not sure what they think happened when modern air conditioning was invented 🤷‍♂️

They're talking about grade inflation at the Ivies again. And OK, fair. Everyone gets an A. But can we also talk about educator inflation? Educator inflation is a good thing! By educator inflation I mean: the typical educator at a top tier university today, is miles better at educating, than the typical educator at that same institution 50 years ago.

The field of education is not static. There are constant advances in how material is presented, and how students are supported.

@brinnbelyea @bynkii @mekkaokereke Purdue was brutal like that too. I would see 50% of a class fail a test on a regular basis. I hope things have changed.

Earlier I griped about black/ruff formatting similar lines differently because of their varying line lengths. After looking at it more, I decided to reduce the duplication in the lines, which shortened them, making the meaning more visible:

ezarowny,
@ezarowny@file-explorers.club avatar

@nedbat do you think it’s time to switch to Ruff for formatting Python code?

I attempted to ask the Fediverse this question earlier today but I’m not sure what kind of reach I’ll have from my own small server.

I’m very excited to announce stamina 23.2.0 – my package for easy production-grade retries!

I was delighted by the resonance of my last announcement including a lot of in-person feedback at conferences & the highlight of this release is an obvious one: configurable instrumentation! You can now configure yourself what functions should run when a new retry is scheduled – including nothing at all.

Enjoy: https://github.com/hynek/stamina/releases/tag/23.2.0

@hynek I really like your take on retrying arbitrary code blocks! It’s much more readable than what I’ve been doing 😨

Hey coffee fedi, my aeropress has died again (plunger shrank, is weeping gross oil 🙃) and I kinda don’t want to keep making coffee in plastic, even when I’m traveling.

Does anyone have better, ideally non-plastic travel press recs from personal experience? Search results are hard to trust and I can find little french presses but they are so goopy and messy. (And I love you, pour over people, but I cannot deal with all that on the road.)

ezarowny,
@ezarowny@file-explorers.club avatar

@kissane I am so grossed out yet intruiged by the weeping plunger. I hadn’t heard about this yet. Good looking out!

ezarowny,
@ezarowny@file-explorers.club avatar

@kissane do you brew with the aeropress inverted by any chance?

ezarowny,
@ezarowny@file-explorers.club avatar

@kissane I do wonder if the contact of the coffee and heat against the plunger is problematic here? I normally have a bit of air separating the water from the plunger when it’s in the regular orientation.

Deglassco, to history

Black-American musical expression during enslavement laid the foundation for blues, jazz, country, gospel, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, & popular music. Emerging from oppression, it reflected resilience & creativity, becoming anthems for civil rights movements the world over. The emotive force and cultural distinctiveness of those early songs endure, nurturing the ongoing struggle for a more just world.

@Deglassco as always, the entire thread is great, but this was particularly interesting! I had no idea what the origin of this song was.
