@andrew I think I might have gone here as a kid, incredibly fond memories of roughly "what is going on, it's amazing" 😂

What are folks using for linting and/or formatting templates these days?

I have just read a sentence that said that mocks are crucial for relevant tests and now I have a migraine.

@hynek how on earth could they make tests more relevant?! They literally mock parts of the system under test. ITS IN THE NAME HYNEK

My new MacBook Pro is arriving today!

What tools/processes do people recommend for cleaning out the cruft from my current machine and then transferring everything to the new one?

@nanorepublica Start fresh and create a dotfiles repo with a script that does the install for you (ish). There will be drift as you miss the odd thing, but the goal is to script the steps you'd take when doing it yourself.

Here's mine: https://github.com/ghickman/dotfiles/blob/main/bootstrap.sh

I guess giving my phone number to OpenAI is probably the least of my worries, given the data they've already slurped up.

Oh the irony of having to confirm I'm human when logging into OpenAI.

I'm playing with django-render-block and HTMX to update a modal with form errors and avoid a page reload. This is such a simple yet powerful workflow.

The only thing that would improve it at this point is being able to use TemplateResponse but still be able to target the block I'm interested in.

@carlton someone added inline partial definitions, didn't they! (😂)

I'm stuck on 2.2 in the short term for this project, so it doesn't look like the template loading special sauce is available to me yet.

@carlton indeed 🫠

My eldest is getting in to Pokemon TCG (through older kids at school). I never played as a kid (mainly played Magic).

Does anyone have some suggestions for a starter set to get to get in to Pokemon with him?

Having watched "The Sign" I'm even more convinced that #Bluey is amongst the best TV ever made for any age group. What an emotional rollercoaster that was.

@Floppy that episode should have come with a content warning for parents!

working on a draft of a git cheat sheet, what's missing?

most interested in relatively "basic" things in git that you always forget how to do. Right now I think the push/pull section is by far the weakest

My media habits are... weird.

I watched two Hot Ones episodes, several game trailers from 2008, the last two episodes of Fallout, and I'm reading an article on the reasons doctors commit suicide.

ghickman,
@ghickman@mastodon.social avatar

@offby1 from my perspective, that sounds like a great time 😁 (well, maybe not the last one…)

Related to the last choice, have you seen the miniseries This is Going to Hurt? It’s tough going in places but some brilliant performances from the two leads.

What's the 2024 state of the art for local macOS+arm64 development nonsense?

Without spending TOO much time combing my (halfhearted because I've been developing via headless Linux since 2020 & it's actually very nice) notes, the last I recall hearing is:

  • Homebrew still "is what it is” & its entire world has since been updated for arm64?
  • Actual-Docker works now, but still via a (Virtualization.framework? emulating Intel??) Linux VM?
  • ISTR other non-Docker VM/container tools exist?
  • ???

@hynek @bitprophet @offby1 cosigned. It’s so great, I don’t ever have to think about whether its updates will work.

Things I’ve been thinking about a lot lately:

  • code design pressure (good: testability, bad: coupling business code with validation and/or storage – interestingly there’s been a #PyCascades talk about just that, framed using an obscure German mathematician)

  • type state pattern, or: why I don't use state machines. This has nothing to do with static types but a continuation of “make illegal state unrepresentable”. Practically, this means that you’ll rarely see an | None in my class fields.

ghickman,
@ghickman@mastodon.social avatar

@hynek do you feel state machines and “make illegal state unrepresentable” are mutually exclusive?
