@isagalaev @beeware sort of. I am familiar with beeware and it solves a big part of the problem; c.f.: https://github.com/glyph/Encrust/issues/2

but the real life experience of shipping an app, particularly with sandboxing, isn’t just about getting it to build and packaging it for submission, but about dealing with practical runtime issues around getting access to the filesystem or network

A bit of joy from work, in getting to write the rollback planning and policy documentation.

One super-secret way you can drive the major cultural improvements of psychological security and emotional safety, not to mention the million invisible efficiencies of a well-functioning workplace culture is by writing the documentation about what people should do and who they can go to when things go really, really wrong.

@grimalkina has been a huge inspiration for this.

@davidaugust Why do I care?
Two primary reasons.
1 - I'm not a cold hearted, self centered piece of shit, and I care about other individuals.
and
2 - "First they came for..."

Of course now that I’ve gotten a chance to use it I have spent nearly a full day debugging because it hallucinated query parameters, misinterprets json results, and hammers a logging endpoint on the CI host, so it probably would have been time better spent just looking up the api docs and writing the script myself. But hey, and least I burned a few AIC to stay off the ai-pilled director’s Luddite list.

Periodically, the Guardian publishes one of these detailed profile stories about the rich maggot psychopaths that are more or less actually running our society. The last one I recall was when they exposed the billionaire whackjob (Ronald Lauder) behind Trump's plans to annex Greenland. There's another good one today - meet Harold Hamm, the guy more or less responsible for Trump's war crimes to obtain oil and policy of purposely torching the planet for shits and giggles.

Y'all, I just got a monsoon warning. In Texas. There's a monsoon that goes from Texas to Idaho. Now, maybe it's because I keep falling through timelines, but I don't remember monsoons being a part of Texas, but the news is treating it like it's a regular sort of thing.

There's flooding all over the east coast, there's heat domes around the west and midwest, forest fires are making the air dangerous for millions of people, volcanoes are popping off, tectonic plates are being cranky.

Far be it from me to speak for Mom, but y'all I think the planet has just about had enough of these apes that fell from the trees.

Protip in flooding: Do not cross running water. It is stronger than you, you will lose. If stranded, get as high out of the water as possible and wait for rescuers. Those teams are working as hard and fast as they can, and they will get to you.

Is there a German word for when you want to visit someone because you want to meet their dog? Seems like the Germans would have a word for that.

kicad pcb editor's sexp file format includes the atom:

0x00000000_00000000_55555555_5755f5ff

i assume this is a big integer used like a bitfield

when i read it with guile scheme it is treated as an extended symbol, not an integer, and so when i write or ice-9 pretty-print it, it becomes:

#{0x00000000_00000000_55555555_5755f5ff}#

which kicad doesn't understand

for now, i replace with 0 and it doesn't break afaict. but i'd like to learn the correct way to handle it

Pallets now documents our LLM and AI tool use policy, explaining why we value human contributions rather than trying to instruct the tools.

starting to think about sandboxing my python apps, as everyone should probably do, but the only thing I've dug up so far that's a "real world example" is https://github.com/davidfstr/Python-in-Mac-App-Store which is 13 years old and set up for Python 2.7, so, not _super_ relevant. has anyone submitted a Mac App Store python app in the last 5 years or so?

I think the thing that Ghost is grossly missing here is that folks don't ask a chatbot "find me a publication". They ask a chatbot "how do I do this thing?"

I have no way to stop ChatGPT in its tracks and ask it nicely to just give them a link to my blog. They're all going to tear my work apart, blend it with other people, and obfuscate the sources. And that deprives us of recognition. It doesn't help our discoverability.

Adding tools to make ingestion easier? It just feels anti-writer.
