That’s interesting. I’ve been told every time (so far) to keep a “neutral face”. I smiled once and the guy let out a heavy sigh and made me take the photo again (Redwood City, CA D…

Yes it is, I just converted my work scripts over this afternoon. #!/usr/bin/env uv run

The heat keeps going at night too. Waking up at 6:30am for a run and it’s 80F outside at 95% humidity… brutal.

“\{“ reminds me of Swift’s “\(“. So I wouldn’t think it’s even that divergent. And Java devs are already used to backslashes peppering strings (me included). https://developer.appl…

Django+Postgres. So far I haven’t needed anything fancy like Htmx, but interested in looking into it in the future. I’ve tried playing with things like Elixir or Go, but I know Pyt…

My favorite: alias gfp=“git commit --amend --no-edit && git push --force-with-lease” For those “whoops, for got to add $x file” moments or typos

Which is interesting because, anecdotally, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I’ve lived in Dallas and Austin for a collective 27 years. And the number of outages I’ve had bew…

Django was actually fine. They had the same codebase running on Python 2 and three, so you could update whenever. Since Django includes so many batteries, I didn’t have any trouble…

In a one-pedal-driving scenario the neutral position is when the gas pedal is slightly depressed. By default, with no feet on pedals, the EV will decelerate. An ICE car will coast …

I highly recommend YNAB. It pulled my financial life together a decade ago. Synced apps on the phone and web. It also introduced me to envelope budgeting, which I found to be super…

Or just shaking your iPhone for undo.

I think the point is that those three senior engineers could figure out how to do some SAML wrapper or remote execution on top of Open-Source Terraform instead of paying for the tu…

The easy default here would be to have a runbook that executed on a particular inventory group. The “linear” execution strategy is the default (which you linked to). By default, if…

Yeah, it’s a runbook config: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.8/user_guide/playbooks_er...

Something that I picked up after watching one of J. Kenji López-Alt’s videos was chaining ingredients. Specifically the difficult ones and not necessarily just reusing the rest of …

I drive an electric car, but my wife has had a difficult time getting gas sometimes in Portland due to the operating hours, like you said. There have been days where she couldn’t f…

Yes, but why not also sell an iClip that lets you attach the battery to the back of the headset for $99? I might wait for the Belkin one, personally.

Not the most complex software, but definitely the most needlessly complex software. I worked for a company where IT owned customer onboarding for historical reasons. Each customer …

Calling out excel, photoshop, and text editors (I’m assuming coding)… those are all computationally expensive tasks. My mom runs her entire business off of her iPhone and iPad. I’d…

I usually go for “ciw“ to make changes from wherever I am in the word. It lets me use w or e because I’m not usually paying attention to which one I’m smashing. :)

It’s changed a good bit since last year. Since your talking about boarded up buildings I assume you were near Pioneer Square? They’ve taken that down (including the crazy dystopian…

Where are you staying? There are some parts of the core downtown (Old Town) that you might want to avoid, but the rest of Portland is not what the media portrays. Hell, even my fam…

I _started_ writing TCL in 2010. This was for EAD automation, and the software only had a TCL API, so probably just a historical quirk. But the company I was with had a lot of it t…

Apollo just auto-redirects to the app for me. Maybe it’s an issue with the official Reddit app or a config value somewhere?

When you factor in a couple hours of wading through security checkpoints (at least in the US), it flips the timescale again for the short/medium trips.
