Apple's new AR headset sure looks cool despite its hefty price tag. I'm thinking about two years from now when it's half the price and twice as powerful. Amazing engineering for sure, up and down the s/w and h/w stack. But Apple missed the perfect opportunity to call the thing the iEyes.
Black's enforcement of double quotes is the #1 reason why Blue is better. Single quotes are so much more ergonomic, both on the eyes (fewer teeny screen smudges) and on the fingers (no shift-induced-pinky-RSI).
Since we published @pumpichank's excellent explanation of the #Python GIL last year, we’ve been doing some testing with Sam Gross’ nogil fork. Here are our results: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/python-gil-vs-nogil-boost-i-o-performance-10x-with-one-line-change/

Getting bass sub gig offers at 7:30am. Am I the only musician who knows the rule? The only reason to be up at that hour is because you haven’t gone to bed the night before!

I've never really used 1Password until now. Yeah, I much prefer the Bitwarden UX.
Does anybody have recommendations for a *great* meditation app for iPhone and Apple Watch? Meditation Timer Pro has been my phone go-to and it's great, but doesn't work well on Watch. Insight Timer is popular but doesn't have warm up settings. None seem to integrate with Mindfulness Focus on the Watch as well as the phone. I want: turn on/off Focus, warm up timer, ding/vibrate even when bell is turned off, share all settings and data w/phone, integrate w/Health app. TIA!
