I have been using envio for a while, as a simple way to avoid keeping secrets around in plain text. Secrets can be encrypted with a passphrase or a GPG key. Not a silver bullet but…

I think having API keys for some third-party services (whatever LLM provider, for example) in a .env file to be able to easily run the app locally is pretty common. Even if they ar…

I've been studying wine and was a bit frustrated with the wine note taking apps around, so I've been building one. It allows to: - Scan wine labels (it analyzes the label automatic…

Depending on the country, it can truly be. Some of my relatives have money stuck in Lebanon and there is currently not really any way of getting the money out of the country.

In general, I'd say UK visa process and cost are quite terrible, to say the least. However, for the global talent, the harder part is to get endorsement, after which it should be r…

I am not sure I would advocate for this but, from Python 3.8, this is an instance where assignment expressions could allow the first code without duplication. first(x * y for x in …
