I do this too! But I call it `.local`

Coming to uv from pip, I fall back to

    uv pip list --outdated

when I need that information.

I was really hoping for a gif or two!

    At sufficient scale, Dependabot’s analysis will time out before completing, effectively rate-limiting the number of PRs it can generate. This natural throttling prevents notification fatigue while maintaining the appearance of active security tooling.

Am I being trolled?

Thank you for expressing my thoughts as well. The article seems to be full of contradictory “advice”.

Use a dependency cooldown, okay … but don’t commit your lockfile so you are always running the latest transitive deps? That’s nuts.

I was surprised, then not really surprised, when I found out this week that Tailscale's native file sharing feature, Taildrive, is implemented as a WebDAV server in the network.

I don’t like writing YAML. I like writing Python. So I write Python that generates YAML config files. JSON is in the standard library but YAML isn’t. So I generate JSON and name the file “file.yaml”.

GitHub Actions, Dependabot, and Docker Compose never complain.

And it only took 20 years!

Access to contacts for iOS apps is no longer all or nothing. You can grant an app access to only specific contacts. This is what I do for WhatsApp.

Also, I know in the past I used WhatsApp without contacts access. It just showed phone numbers instead of names, but it was functional.

I run an instance of FreshRSS [0] and access it from a browser, but I also use NetNewsWire [1] as a client on platforms where it is available.

I use Flask a lot too. I generally just add keyword arguments to url_for() to automatically add querystrings to URLs.

The fact that this is not a manual reimplementation, but a "transpilation" of the psql source from C to JavaScript, makes this super interesting to me.

    From the Postgres master branch (17devel), we take exec_command_d, exec_command_list and exec_command_sf_sv from command.c, and all of describe.c and sql_help.c, from src/bin/psql.
    We use plenty of RegExp search-and-replace to turn this C code into valid JS syntax.
    We implement some C library functions, such as strlen and strchr, and some Postgres support functions, such as printTable and printQuery, in JavaScript.

In my mind, "move in a straight line due east" can be interpreted as "for as long as you are moving, your movement should be due east". In that case, your latitude will never change. In the northern hemisphere, you will constantly be making a leftward adjustment to maintain a due east heading.

I’ve been an admin at https://rainwave.cc for about 15 years now. One of the unique (I think) features we have allows listeners to influence what plays next on the radio.

While the current song is playing, we run a three-candidate election to choose the next song. We usually include a listener request as one of the three candidates in the election.

We’re a friendly community, in my obviously biased opinion. Feel free to hang out with us on Discord; the link is on the Rainwave homepage.

If you give your thumb an absolute value of 5 (or 50, depending on the hand) you can finger count in base 10 all the way to 99!

As a kid I always wondered where the name “Maxwell’s Maniac” came from.

This is a (fantastic!) project by Simon Willison, co-creator of the Django framework and creator of Datasette.

If you are wondering why the collection is so small, it would appear from the commit history that Simon only adds museums that he has visited himself.

Honest question: if I want to apply IaC to my views, is there a better tool than dbt to take care of that for me? I have never used dbt before, only read about it.

If anyone knows of a tool that can sync both ways between Google Calendar and a CalDAV server, I'd love to know about it.

I guess it depends on which “tech” specifically you care about. The jump from an iPhone 7 to the 3rd gen SE will probably feel amazing, considering it has the same SoC as all the iPhone 13 models. Sure, the SE doesn’t have the nice camera system like the high end models, but again, coming from a 7, it will be quite an improvement for you.

The iPhone SE, described in the article, has Touch ID.

PLANT landed on Earth Day as a result of changes made to the word list after Wordle was acquired. You can compare the word lists from before and after the acquisition and see that some words were removed completely, but others were moved to be a solution on a future date.

I’m no conspiracy theorist but I suspect PLANT was deliberate.

Every time KeePassXC comes up, I think about when I tried to switch from KeePass in 2020 and wrote myself the following notes:

    * Does not have global hotkey to show window
    * Does not have {PICKFIELD} auto-type placeholder

I hope someone can tell me I am wrong and somehow overlooked these features.

You have eloquently elaborated on a truth I came to realize many years ago:

Cooking well (from a recipe) is the art of having enough experience to know what unwritten assumptions the recipe author has made.
