there quite a bit of `@Todo` in my checks still

Talley Lambert @talley.codes · 14d

Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed.

(And it was cool to learn where the inspiration for your cmap PRs came from 😄… nice integration!)

Just played a bit with ty docs.astral.sh/ty/

I’m drooling anticipating the day when the last slow pre-commit hook (mypy/pyright) falls and the entire check is blazing fast ⚡️💨

Maybe not just yet… but so soon

it was already fun to look around the documentation for cmap (cmap-docs.readthedocs.io)

but @grosoane.bsky.social just added a very cool feature to toggle between color vision deficiencies. Watch your perceptually uniform color maps gain some kinks 😂

as a mild deutan myself, I appreciate it! 🙏

Gotcha. That sounds nice!

I’ve definitely been very happy with gh copilot agent as well, particularly with sonnet 4. my comment was as much about the humorous failure modes :)

Wouldn’t that depend as much (if not more) on the underlying model than the agent extension?

Talley Lambert @talley.codes · Jun 16

i'm generally thrilled with gh copilot agent recently.
There have been multiple very funny cases though where I have asked it to fix a broken test, and the "fix" came in the form of simply deleting the problematic test 😂

"well ... the tests PASS now don't they??"

I think there’s a good degree of personal preference and subjectivity here. I like magenta here as indicating “danger” more than blue. But there would also be nothing wrong with blue, in terms of visibility

please accept this PR

```
:root {
--bgColor-danger-emphasis: magenta !important;
--fgColor-danger-emphasis: magenta !important;
--bgColor-danger: magenta !important;
--fgColor-danger: magenta !important;
}

for you other colorblind coders out there, tired of missing the red X in your github actions logs

.color-fg-danger, .fgColor-danger {color: magenta !important;}
.octicon-x {color: magenta !important;}

you're welcome

Steven has our Snouty-OPM running again after our lab move. He added projection mode, sensorless AO, and a new control GUI based on @talley.codes + crew's pymmcore-plus/pymmcore-gui. Here are some IF-labeled microglia (orange) in the middle of an uncleared 60um mouse brain slice. No deconvolution!

This document rom the griffe docs is *awesome*. Basically a missing manual on designing the public API for your Python package: extremely well written, with good tips for beginners and advanced devs alike.

Yes, you can just call it, But it assumes you’ve previously set contrast limits, perhaps paid attention to data type, etc… do you have to deal with any of that in microfilm?
