pypi yanks suck, they are rare, this one got me today as it was a pinned dependency in my dependency chain. The latest release broke python 3.6/3.7 (which 3.6 has been EOL for 3.5 years btw), and it claimed >=3.6. In order to allow users to still install xlsxwriter without pinning down it needed yanked. I'm not sure if there was another way around it as pypi releases are immutable, so you cannot fix

This now has me wondering what the heck is using it with old pythons.

It appears to have broken builds on Canonical/checkbox for ubuntu 18.04. Checkbox is a device compatibility testing framework.

I try to use conventional commits on all of my commits, but I often end up only using feat/fix. I need to keep this page handy and get new verbiage worked into my language

• fix:
• feat:
• build:

Optionally include a scope fix(parser):

A bang indicates a breaking change note. For example ...

        
chore!: drop support for Node 6

BREAKING CHANGE: use JavaScript features not available in Node 6.

Wyatt built out this full world to start making a film series about FROGS. The entire set it built on a flat world, but yet feels so immersive.

I like Jim's visualizations on his site, reminds me a lot of obsidian. I've tried to do the same on my [[ analytics ]] page in the past, but it didn't come out right. I'm going to have to give this another go.

Great breakdown of nextjs. I was highly unaware of its performance optimizations before reading this. The smell of vendor lock in from next/vercel has been there from the start, this is the first real claim I've seen.

I'm out on modern js front ends, complex builds that change every 6 months, design patterns are out of date just as fast. Its hard to keep up, especially when you don't have the use case for highly interactive apps. Libraries like htmx or plain ol js gets the job done on the majority of sites and everything I tend to work on.

I'm totally with Prime here, there is something about the read only, mouse clicking part of my brain that causes me to be more critical of the code at a different level. It doesn't hit the part of my brain thinking about the edit or how to do the edit, it hits a part thats thinking about how I will have to deal with the code moving forward.

Vendor lock in disguised as performance. Nextjs aparantly now streams all of your metadata on the fly with js. This would obviously kill all seo right, well not if you're on vercel they automatically detect search crawlers and serve the metadata. Why the f do they need to do this and not just serve everyone the metadata. The Web is this beautiful place where anyone can create and build amazing things with a relatively low skill. Js is meant to be enhancement, not degrade the experience of its users.

I thin a lot of us have this issues, especially on side projects. At work therre are expectations, jira tickets and so on, keeping you shipping. I think there is something to be said about getting that quick and dirty POC to the right group of people early for feedback before you add redis caching, kubernetes, auto scaling, disruption budget, distributed nodes, high availability, backups, disaster recovery. At work you kinda have to have the right person to shoot ideas by that can understand that you probably need some of these complex things for your app and it will take time to get right.

I would love to have a browser based video editor I could throw on a server and do quick edits from anywhere. I tried to get this one to work and struggled to get front end to send api requets to backend. I think the root of it was their redis wants to run on 80, this caused a permission error so I tried to run 8880:80, but redis was still unable to start due to a config permission error.

The ability to query s3 buckets so seamless looks like such a pleasure to work with if you have a use case for that. Kedro catalog takes care of this most of the time for me, but I wonder if there are some cross project searching use cases I might find for this.
