Just migrated a project from hatch to uv. Took a few minutes.
In two weeks, I'll write something like "One year of uv: should you use it?" listing all the good and bad things about it in the various tests I made with my clients over the years.

uv just added "uvx [-p x.y] python", which means I can get rid of my clunky:
py() {
if [ -n "${VIRTUAL_ENV:-}" ]; then
python "$@"
else
"$(preferred_python_version)" "$@"
fi
}
And replace it with just "alias py=uvx python"

Thanks to the buggy Ubuntu lock screen, I typed my password in an email to a client today, and was one Ctrl hold to send it by mistake.
Sometimes I wish we could start a bounty on Ubuntu bugs as a user, adding money to some kind of escrow until a ticket is closed.

TIL I learned about , , and HTML elements
HTML have everything these days. We got good semantic markup, and probably nobody cares anymore because all indexers ignore it and use some kind of AI to make sense of it since it was all a blob for years

Welp, I did it again. I wrote a shitty article.
And I pondered about wether to publish it or not, because it's always annoying to throw away something you worked on.
But no, I just can't do it.
It's bad. It's not worth your time.
So delete it is.

Yes, you should use a Python venv in a container like docker.
And here is why:

We went from c is wasteful compared to assembly, to scripting languages are too slow, to why do you embed a full browser just to render your app...
The greybeards that will witness the unfolding of "everything is an AI API" call are going to have a heart attack.

What if you could zip your entire Python project into one big file, copy that to a server and it would run?

What's up Python?
Well this December, we get a load of MOAR uv, a nice flask-like Django XP, and the dream of debugging live processes taking shape...

The number of sites I encounter that don't work with Firefox is increasing.
It doesn't bode well for the open web.

Google's Search Results are Infested, and Open AI is Using Google's Playbook from the 2000s https://chuckwnelson.com/blog/google-search-results-infested-open-ai-using-google-playbook
It's funny how much Google seemed to be unbeatable two decades ago, and now it seems that they just can't slow down their own obsolescence.

Getting in touch with young students again, I see they are obsessed with deadlines, as I was.
It's such a weird distortion from school. In the real world, hard deadlines are very few.
Apart from some contractual or celestial businesses, even the taxes understand you may be late
