No option to skip sign in? This is so shitty.

@brendonsmall.bsky.social My 12yo pup had hamburger time yesterday. Thanks for helping make it just a little more bearable.

The proof is done:

```
theorem tendsto_MCC_atTop_eq_FM
{TP FP FN : ℝ}
(hTPFPpos : 0 < TP + FP)
(hTPFNpos : 0 < TP + FN)
(hTP_nonneg : 0 ≤ TP)
(hFP_nonneg : 0 ≤ FP)
(hFN_nonneg : 0 ≤ FN) :
Tendsto (fun TN : ℝ => MCC TP TN FP FN) atTop (𝓝 (FM TP FP FN))
```

is True.

Ubelt passed the 100k downloads/month marker for the first time. I remember when I was getting excited at hitting 10k!

We should always be open to reconsidering the stories we tell ourselves:

Had a rare instance where if Python was type safe, it would have prevented a bug. Granted, I probably would have spent countless hours maintaining those types at the cost of thinking about the logic, but credit where credit’s due.

LLMs are an amazing tool when used intentionally and with skepticism, but its also nice to be in a flow where I'm not using them for awhile. Currently in a state where I'm "thinking in code", its beautiful how concisely you can express things when thinking this way.

I am so upset with the windows 10 laptop I bought in 2017. Can't update to windows 11, so I'm stuck without support. I hardly use it. I need it to support cross platform projects. I boot it up, it doesn't let me log in, it needs to "setup my new experience". I want to open vscode and test stuff. 😠

It's Python 3.14 release day, and I'm excited because it includes a feature I contributed. The CLI option `-c` will now automatically remove leading indentation before running the code, which can help make your bash scripts slightly less ugly.

It's that time of year when all my commits fail because I need to renew my GPG keys.

Kinda cool to see a few of my tools in the top 15,000 pypi projects. xdoctest is 3,316 and ubelt is 11,407.

Pretty upset that Chrome moved tab search to the right side. I really need to get off of Chrome.

AI for generating doctests is pretty great.

TFW you realize you probably should have been running your program in tmux.

Ugg, why are also CLI configuration tools (including my own) such a mess?

A dead disk in my BTRFS raid prevented my system from booting. Clearing the /etc/fstab entry did the trick, but a normal degraded,ro mount kept giving superblock errors.

After hours of panicked traditional and AI search, ChatGPT spat out:

sudo mount -o degraded,ro,usebackuproot /dev/sda1 /data

Why doesn't Ubuntu / Gnome have an easy way to search / organize open windows?

I want to be able to search open windows similar to how I can search tabs in chrome. It should not take a killall to close all windows of the same kind.

Planting seeds today for a better tomorrow—yet the forest is being cleared before my eyes. Is subtlety a shield or an excuse? The answer feels just out of reach.

Legitimate blockchain use: opentimestamps for proving tax documentation was written no later than the claimed date.

Just wish OTS used a less energy intensive chain.
