Good on Anthropic for giving an update & token refund, given the recent rumors of an inexplicable drop in quality. I applaud the transparency.

Wine for classic Mac OS? Amazing. Well done.

You should not be using Python types without a type checker in use to enforce them.

With a type checker on, types are fantastic for catching missed cases early.

I intentionally avoid using us-east-1 for anything, since I’ve seen so many outages.

Oh yikes. I did not know.

I’ve been meaning to write this article for a long time @flexdinesh . Thanks for taking the time to share this technique for managing stacked diffs using vanilla git rebase!

mypy is compiled using mypyc. It does not run as Python code.

For HTML-in-HTML natively I use iframes and still remember how to use Frames & framesets.

I find it amusing that the motivation for creating a complex font program that supports syntax highlighting internally is the desire to avoid a complex syntax highlighter JavaScript library. The complexity is still there; it's just been moved around.

Edit: Perhaps this is a reminder that custom fonts are a potential attack vector for security-sensitive websites since font rendering runs highly-complex programs, probably in a language that isn't memory safe.

Looks like this library is serious. Most of what I see can be written more succinctly using existing Python functionality:

  1. Maybe -> Optional[T]
  2. Result -> Union[SuccessT, FailureT]
  3. Future, FutureResult -> concurrent.futures.Future[T]
  4. IO ->  don't use this; none of the standard library I/O supports it

I do appreciate the use of "container" as a term instead of "monad".

I also appreciate the typechecker enhancements being put forward by their custom plugins.
