I’m hosting a yo-yo meetup in San Francisco this Saturday, October 5th. It will be in Yerba Buena Garden from 3-5pm (near the Metreon).

New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was marked by serious challenges to everyday life—graffiti-covered subways, rampant vandalism, piles of uncollected garbage, and high crime rates. Noise, drugs, and other social issues added to the city’s struggles, making the streets chaotic and unpredictable. Sidewalks were often littered with dog waste, waiting to catch both […]

I have adopted uv for a lot of Python development. I'm also a heavy user of direnv, which I like as a tool for setting up project-specific environments. Much like Hynek describes, I've found uv sync to be fast enough to put into the chdir path for new directories. Here's how I'm doing it. Direnv Libraries First, it turns out you can pretty easily define custom direnv functions like the …

Rescuing a couple of photos from my camera roll: 🐶 A coyote in Golden Gate Park around sunrise. This coyote lay down on some lawn; in the low light, some joggers went past without noticing. That coyote just looked like an unruly hank of grass. I didn't get a photo of that, but did snap a pic of that fur blending into some wood chips. 🏠 "Elizabeth" house on Belvedere …
