  • does that count as a blow job?

  • A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate
  • "Do one thing and one thing well"

    This is why the Python landscape is such a mess in the first place. The "one thing" should have been project management. Instead, we end up with 20 different tools that have a very limited context, often overlapping or being mutually exclusive to each other in functionality, and it's up to each project to adopt and configure them correctly.

    The mass adoption of uv is a clear sign that we're tired of this flawed approach. Leave the Unix philosophy to core utilities of an OS.

  • Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores
  • Exactly what I did. I'd get a 65" monitor if there was any. But an always offline smart TV will do.

  • I Paid $70 for an AI Boyfriend: Here's Everything I Learned
  • They could have watched the movie Her for much less

  • A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate
  • That's pretty much the conclusion: you should try uv first, and there's a small chance it doesn't work for you and you're not willing to fix it, or it's out of your hands.

    Examples include legacy projects and companies that don't allow it (but I do question how they'd even enforce this, and how developers can even do their jobs if they can't run binaries at the user level).

  • Starbucks Baristas Aren't Writing Messages On Your Cup By Choice
  • no shit, are some people really surprised by this, or do they just want the attention?

  • Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan
  • I just got a "swipe right or left" ad for duo

    thanks, spotify, for occasionally reminding me I'm single

  • Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?
  • maybe furry nerds were only counted as nerds

  • Wide awake and staring at the ceiling
  • Not 4y ago because I have the memory of a fish for the things I said.

    But I'll think of some shit I said 2 days ago, and I think that's worse.

  • Copilot Next Edit Suggestions (preview)
  • That's really annoying to have enabled all the time, but might be useful for a "free-form" code refactoring that's not just renaming variables.

  • Avoid over-commenting in Python
  • it's turtles all the way regardless; but it's much easier to handle side effects if you have more numerous but smaller functions.

    I prefer that because fully reading a module or component is not the most common scenario. The most common use case of reading code is (or should be) not caring about most of the implementation details until you need to; only then you have to go down the rabbit hole.

    Longer functions force the reader to understand most of their context every time they get there, a problem especially when the function has a bunch of local vars.

  • Avoid over-commenting in Python
  • single use functions are fine; I often break 20+ line functions apart and it makes it easier to test and reason about, it's not just to avoid comments: block comments are just a sign that the function might be getting too complex.

  • Um.... Wtf?
  • Same, that's why I stopped using rethink a while ago, even though I loved it.

  • Kryptonite
  • U-238 is very stable, the post should have picked Radium or Francium for example

  • How do you, or do you vet if a software will paywall features or "enshittify"?
  • I don't think you can. But if it's open source and popular, there might be a chance it will have a maintained fork should that happen.

    Freemium feature creep might be a sign things are changing for the worst, as in, if more and more features are being added to the premium plan and the free version is stagnating; to the point the target public of the premium version is creeping to average users instead of aiming at commercial or power users.

    matduggan.com GitHub Copilot Workspace Review

    I review Github Copilot Workspaces and it doesn't go well.

    > GitHub Copilot Workspace didn't work on a super simple task regardless of how easy I made the task. I wouldn't use something like this for free, much less pay for it. It sort of failed in every way it could at every step.

    I've just upgraded to Plasma 6 on EndeavourOS and X11 works, but booting on Wayland via SDDM gives me a blank screen. The display enters power saving mode and switching to a TTY doesn't wake it up.

    Anyone else having this problem, or with a workaround suggestion?

    Uplay games on Linux

    I'd like to try the new Assassin's Creed and Avatar, but they're not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I'm not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton.

    Do you have any experience with Ubisoft + Lutris? Is there an equivalent to ProtonDB to have an idea how well a game runs?
