The AI hype sometimes reminds me of 1970s foods.

People actually thought dishes like “Avocado Jelly Waldorf with Mayonnaise” were decent and a good idea.

just had a conversation with my neighbor — he’s wearing an NRA tshirt and explaining that the pistol he has strapped to his hip is for shooting copperheads. And also he’s concerned that we leave our garage open too much and that copperheads might get in

Does anyone have the name for the process in IT where the friction involved in using a service is ratcheted up so high and so fast that everyone stops using it?

Like developer ghettos that take 15 minutes to just log into them via multiple jumpboxes to get to a machine with no internet access, chat/email apps that only work in incognito browser & the auth expires daily, air gapped machines at an office.

I've recently come across two socially responsible French conglomerates of software developers, organized as either a cooperative or some other egalitarian business forms, and I wanted to make a huge shoutout to them.

Please visit their websites and, if you want and can, hire them for your next projects.

(Disclaimer: I'm not associated with either, I just find these organizations not only remarkable, but also necessary and fundamental.)

I’m always amazed by the capacity of the WordPress team to make the already shitty Gutenberg editor even worse at every new release. At this point, I consider that they have manifested the purpose of making it the worst possible editor of all time, and that they’re pouring their hearts into this task. Maybe they’re chasing an award, dunno. I don’t know whether this is a rant or a praise at this point. I want to cry and clap at the same time. What a moment to be alive.

The thing I am most interested in is time travel. I would be real interested in connecting with people on mastodon that have same interests 👌🏾
I tried writing a book last year but lost interest. Need more inspiration 🙏🏿

Question for anyone working with Rust on desktop Linux: Is there a quick and easy way to take a Rust GUI application that natively supports Wayland builds as a single, self-contained binary, and turn it into a fully sandboxed Flatpak app?

This hobby has gotten out of hand.

A close up of one of the ErgoDox boards, focusing in on an artisan cap that’s a mountain range encased in resin. It’s a Jelly Key cap.

I just discovered #streamlit and boy oh boy is this an amazing project.

It's absolutely incredible how easy it makes building great data visualisations!

The ruff #Python linter can now replace all my favorite linting & auto-formatting tools.

For many months, I've used these commands:

• ruff check . # lint
• ruff check --fix . # auto-fix

Now I also use:

• ruff format . # A Black equivalent

Instead of flake8 or pylint, I either use the ruff defaults (similar to flake8) or I enable the "PL" rules for pylint.

The --fix argument will auto-fix many linting errors too (similar to autopep8, autoflake, isort, pyupgrade, etc.).

cashews are the best nut

Well so far I have blocked

Opeth
Rage against the machine
Slipknot

For too much growling.

But I think ultimately it's a recommendation algorithm, it's supposed to give reasonably smooth prog metal.

On my way to @eurorust ! Looking forward to meeting friends old and new 😀

You know when the singers just shout into their microphones like hooligans in some metal forms? I really hate that and I don't know the word for it.

What's the state of the art in terms of #python PDF generation?

Eons ago I used (and briefly maintained) xhtml2pdf - but surely there's something more modern around now?

I need to generate reports from python/pandas in a rather strict format (like your bank's monthly account statement, a letter with some table)

Does this count a HIIT?

As of yesterday, the #LXD project is no longer part of the Linux Containers project but can now instead be found directly under Canonical's control.

Please read our official statement on:
https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd

I personally consider Canonical's move to be a hostile act and as far as I'm concerned the decision was unilateral. It may be legally sound but it leaves a very bad taste behind.

I've been involved with this project independent of what company I moved to. To see this happening is sad.

State of the wok. Occasionally it rusts a bit at the silver bits but it doesn't get hot enough there for it to season properly.

#ubuntu Manic Minotaur is my favorite release name so far 🥰
