I have a lifelong passion for writing code. I run the Discord community and write interesting open source projects in Python. He/Him

Well I guess I can mow the lawn this weekend

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@theo Bet this puts a damper on everyone releasing new models. Scary precedent.

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@theo Haven’t used it a ton but first impressions are positive. Ran it against a blog post draft and its insights were much better than Opus 4.8 or GPT 5.5 Pro.

[Marcelo Trylesinski @marcelotryle]

Last week I published a security advisory for Starlette, and the project got hit with a wave of negative press. So I wrote down my perspective as the maintainer.

@willmcgugan That’s very clever!

[Will McGugan @willmcgugan]

“Never write your own X library”

This is such conventional wisdom. But somebody wrote their own. That’s why we have the choice not to write something.

Following conventional wisdom you will never make an impact with your work. 🤷‍♂️

@RonnyBruknapp @astral_sh My projects are quite small so I don’t notice performance. uv is much faster than using poetry so for larger projects this will matter a lot

As far as workflow goes, I’ve been using a similar setup with poetry. I’ve really enjoyed it so I wanted to carry it forward with uv

[Zech @ZechCodes]

Been switching my projects from Poetry to @astral_sh's uv and decided to make a blog post about using Trusted Publisher with uv on GitHub Actions.

A periodic reminder that microservices (or any technology for that matter) don't travel in packs attacking inocent projects.

If your application has problems then it's most likely a consequence of bad design decisions made by humans.

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@willmcgugan It’s so cool! Been loving my Keychron K3 Pro but I just bought the ZSA Voyager to see if the split layout and thumb keys improve my comfort and productivity

[Zech @ZechCodes]

My latest project is almost ready for public consumption!

[Zech @ZechCodes]

“Why is my code not passing this test???”

Oh, I wrote the test wrong 🤦‍♂️

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@HacKanCuBa @raymondh @willmcgugan That makes it more operations though. You're calling a function and doing a dunder contains check for every item rather than just calling dunder contains. So it'll be slower using the lambda

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@mathsppblog Haha help too many people on discord doing this kinda stuff
```
a = input()
b = input()
if a < b:
```

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@mathsppblog 29%

I'm assuming that your open rate of delivered emails is still about 35%, so that 25% would be 35% of people who received the email.

So 25% / 35% should be the estimated percentage of received emails, 71%, leaving 29% undelivered.

I'm tired, did I do it right? Haha

@crisisofconsc Once had a guy get mad because we sold out of hot rotisserie chickens. Over the next 45 minutes he paced back & forth stopping occasionally to demand that I give him chickens that were in the back cooler. Couldn't do anything for him because they were below the legal temperature.

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@mathsppblog Crud, another rule to remember haha

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@eykd To me DI is just a fancy way to do global variables and requires a similar degree of care

[Zech @ZechCodes]

I created a dependency injection framework for #Python that can help you build better applications.

I just published a (rather lengthy) blog post explaining how it’s useful and how it works.

[Zech @ZechCodes]

@eykd Oh, yeah, I don't think there's really a way to do that. Jumping to the definition for the type hint is always gonna go to some base type not the concrete type being injected at runtime.

Gotta rely on good docs and use DI sparingly.
