- This is a pretty sick result, good fingerboards are stupid expensive. This looks like a fun way to make some good ones on the cheap.

PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml | peps.python.org This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project. Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) · peps.python.org [1] PEP 735 describes dependency groups as sets of optional dependencies that are not shipped with the package but intended for development purposes. The PEP includes an example for groups that include test, docs, typing, and a combo typing-test. [dependency-groups] test = ["pytest", "coverage"] docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"] typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"] typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"] This is implemented in uv and can be used by several of their commands. uv sync --group test uv run --group test uv add --group test pytest uv remove --group test pytest uv export --group test uv tree --group test Dependency Groups are not Extras # [2] The docs describe extras as being intended to ship with the application and dependency groups intended for development. The spec allows both to exist with the same name, but care should be taken as too...

Running Software on Software You’ve Never Run Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web. blog.jim-nielsen.com [1] Running software applications in production today is crazy. One point release opens up for supply chain attacks. What’s crazier is not running your production applications without a lock file, potentially running dependencies you’ve never ran before for the first time in prod.

Using Litestream to Restore My Database for Easy Development | Nic Payne Litestream see [[using-litestream-to-backup-quadtasks-sqlite-db]] for how I setup litestream replication for [[quadtask]] I have the entrypoint to my app contai pype.dev [1] I really like how well the local dev is setup to run off of production data here. I’ll use this as a reminder that I need to set up lite stream on a few of my projects that it’s missing from and include a nice sync prod data Posts tagged: justfile [2] recipe. Litestreams interface always throws me for a loop. It works fantastic, but the global config stored in /etc and some of the commands break my brain. It’s not you it’s me. Using real data when you can is goated. Fake data is so often a perfect example of what someone thinks the backend should look like and does not include things that users actually do, running pipelines for days, or setting titles to paragraphs worth of text. Obviously this is not possible everywhere and the more sensitive your data the harder that process becomes.

TIL: Loading .env files with uv run Replacing python-dotenv with uv https://daniel.feldroy.com · daniel.feldroy.com [1] I smell a dependency to python-dotenv dying in my workflow. I originally read the title of the post and thought, “I know how to manage .env and almost skipped it”. I’m leaning more and more on uv run these days, so this should just [2] go in my [[ just file ]] to make it easy to run.

A quote from Dan Abramov Conceptually, Mastodon is a bunch of copies of the same webapp emailing each other. There is no realtime global aggregation across the network so it can only offer a fragmented … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] Interesting catch from the HN discussion over his article [2] that came out yestereday. I scanned it yesterday and it has some really fascinating diagrams showing different phases of the web being open, to being siloed, to somewhere that we are trying to make it easy to publish, and retain ownership. I don’t know enough about bluesky, but the core is build on the AT protocol, you can self host [3] your own instance, you can build different front ends for it. So rather than having siloed instagram, FB, twitter, there are clones of those platforms that read the same data from everyones data, that they have the option of self hosting. I like this distinction between Mastadon here. Mastadon can also be self host, but its data aggregation is decentralized, so each instance is fragmented and cannot have a complete view of the data. The way that the ATproto does its aggregation is quite fascinating and feels right for an open social p...

- This is a super cool movement, I like the idea of giving access to composable components like we have in open source. You want to build a website you have a bunch of options from raw dogging assembly all the way up to predefined templates that just need your content. Idk if the analogy is perfect but there are aspects of it that work. I see where right now we are somewhere in raw dogging c or python. We have cheap nuts and bolts and some low level things, but once someone needs some coupler like this it’s dropping down to drawing it by hand.

- Wow, I’ve never seen or thought of multi setup parts this is very thought provoking, not sure how useful it is as we have good adhesives and stuff for printed parts. I definitely want to try this though

- I can’t believe this thing is so devicive. I kinda can’t belive that I sit on the same side as Mathes and his always against the grain, non corporate influenced response. So many others have praised Haiden for bringing back the real gladiator bloodsport that SX is, is it that though?? It’s a race to the finish. different than a lot of other racing its very unpredictable takeout moves happen, occasionally as an accident, often taking both riders down at the same time. Also different than MANY sports we have a huge industry of weekend warriors, Some of which make it into the night show of the biggest race on TV. You see we only bring 20 riders from each class, the top half to top quarter are “Factory” riders, the rest are privateers, sometimes these privateers are completely their on their own. There is also something called a last chance qualifier. This is your last chance to get into the night show, often fought by these privateers out of box vans with their brother as a mechanic. Often that last spot is filled by sketchy on edge riding and takeout moves from a rider that looks like he is barely making it, but would run circles around anyone at your local race. We celebrat...
