The cottage industry around fixing gaps in Python is sometimes awe-inspiring and most times just downright awful.

Maybe just make a Python 4 with better types built in at this point...

All hail the Omnissiah!

I hope your kid feels better soon.

I'm surprised you haven't delegated duties like these to other members of the project at the stage Ghostty is (non-profit, with compensated contributors). Maybe you are able to manage being the BDFL and your other interests well enough and this is a minor hiccup.

I had asked on the Ghostty discord back in September about the September release and received no response so I figured there was probably some major goal for this release that stretched the release so I left it alone.

After upgrading to macOS 27 I saw a bug with the tab titles and just opted to change my config to follow the latest tip always and I'm much happier. The tip is quite stable so it's one piece of software I don't mind being on the bleeding edge of, even if it's one of the most crucial parts of my daily workflow.

This is certainly a unique status page.

When I first started reading seminal works in Distributed Computing, I picked up the original (The Part-time Parliament) and it started off pretty well with the made up story of finding the algorithm as a manuscript from an archeological dig.

The original paper then quickly becomes super convoluted by continuing to explain the algorithm by overextending that allegory. By the mid point of it I felt pretty exhausted.

It was then I learnt that the original paper was lying in limbo for nearly a decade until it was finally published.

Then at a conference, Lamport got tired of people telling him his original was difficult to grasp and so came this simplified explanation.

I still have my notes on the paper somewhere in my Obsidian. I should publish those.

I for one, am absolutely fascinated with Tron Legacy. It was the first Tron movie I saw as a kid in middle school. In some ways, it's responsible for the trajectory of my career.

Apart from the obvious reasons about the DP soundtrack and the visuals, I love the theme of chasing perfection and the way it backfires.

Kevin Flynn says to CLU in the end "The thing about perfection, is that it's unknowable. You don't know that because I didn't know it when I created you" and I love the fact that it says how we can put our best and our worst into what we create. That we're not just responsible for lifeless machines, that it's more than that. And it's a hauntingly beautiful thought.

sure.. WWDC also has "Developers Conference" in its name.

Watching these bland presentations with choreographed delivery and reading off a prompt off-screen (I'm not completely sure they're doing this, but it looks like it) makes me appreciate Steve Jobs presentations from the past so much more.

Steve really had product presentations down. I wish people at least tried to copy him.

He just... highlighted Avatar. He clicked the dropdown menu, and then he randomly selected Papyrus. Like a...Like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden, just yanking leaves along the way.

I was going for a "they performed surgery on a grape" thing but it seems I missed the mark

they put RISC-V in a soldering iron?
