I really like those new icons - Yeah, they're kinda flat, but they actually have colour.

They've basically taken peak 2005 icons, and improved on them.

Very nice.

decaf - white clouds

It starts with a nice piano, when the bass drops.

The original song is Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche, but that's missing some oomph :P

Luke Smith made video about this several years ago: Virgin "Open Source" vs Chad Free Software

He ends the video with "I don't care if the boot-stamping on my head is proprietary or open source. I don't want a boot stamping on my head. That's what Free Software is about, okay!?"

This has been going on for a while, but it's good to shine a light on it once more.

Determinate Nix is not a fork of Nix—it is a downstream Nix distribution. Its

Ah, I initially figured they would've forked it. Good, as it'll prevent the community in general to completely split and potentially splinter.

Don't both Windows and MacOS call it folders, and Linux calls it directories?

The amount of boomer bait on Facebook is staggering. The amount of Boomers falling for obviously AI-generated shite even moreso.

Learn how to test (which is also what the article recommends).

Write unit tests. Write property-based tests. I don't care which ones, but automate the SHIT out of your tests.

Also curse at your school for not teaching you this from day one.

Alas, I don't know any articles or books on how to learn, because school didn't teach me either. I learned the theory from Uncle Bob, among some others, but had to learn the actual work from work...

Topologically speaking, the frog is a donut.

If not STEM, then HEAL? (Health, Education And Learning)

Protip: pip install pyupgrade And then find . -name '*.py' -not -path '*.tox*' -print0 | xargs -0 pyupgrade --py310-plus in your repo to update what can be updated.

BTW, pyupgrade's creator, asottile (that's his name) also has an informative channel: Anthony Writes Code where he explains Python features, or goes into interesting bugs he ran into, etc. The good stuff.

So I remember the plan to improve Python's speed from 3.9 to 3.13... Has there been an updated plan since? I presume the JIT will likely be faster in 3.14 (it';s already at parity - pretty impressive for a first release), but is there anything else planned?
