I've recorded a new tutorial explaining how to run scheduled (cron) tasks with one extra line of Python using Quart-Tasks, youtu.be/_yqSYS6WVoM

There’s something depressing about a programming language having to resort to other languages for its own tooling. In Python’s case, as adoption for uv grows, what happens to pip? Does it become a reference implementation that only a minority uses?

Ever thought dependency injection is over-engineering that needs a framework? Or that loose coupling is an obnoxious complication for architecture astronauts? I’m offering a different perspective in my new video: Loose Coupling & DI the EASY Way! youtu.be/uWTvMCra-_Y

Dear community notes: 1. If it's not preferable by criminals, why is ransomware always in BTC/crypto? 2. Most of the tokens are centralised in exchanges or in the hands of whales 3. So is Nvidia - the Euro is a currency, BTC is a speculative asset 4. Now you're just being silly..

Quart-DB, 0.8.0, now supports background migrations - migrations that run whilst the app is serving requests. These are most useful for data migrations that take too long to be run as part of the app startup. github.com/pgjones/quart-…

gleam.run/cheatsheets/gl… - Gleam looks really neat, but this strikes me as an odd decision. Do you really need to add let to every assignment? What's the benefit of that? Does any other PL do that?

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack: 0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer). Read their words👇🏻 1/

The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems. Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers. Microsoft Microsoft Teams posted on a bug tracker full of volunteers that their issue is "high priority"
