Our body adhesive solvent and cleaner were confiscated by @londonheathrow security, bc they're OTC meds and not on an itemized list provided by a doctor.

Managing #T1D well requires many products outside of Dr purview. Such narrow readings of regulations are discrimination.

And just like that, @StainlessAPI is live to the world! https://t.co/5E0T4t285G

Over the last two years in private beta, we've helped @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @Cloudflare, @MuxHQ, @Lithic, @ModernTreasury, @useOrb, @tryfinch, and others deliver quality SDKs to their developers.

taking my kids to medieval times. so very curious about how this experience will compare to what I did decades ago

[sam boyer @sdboyer]

@daveddev @rakyll that seems plausible, but not what I think of as "community"

YOU WERE BORN TO DEPLOY KUBERNETES CLUSTERS https://t.co/5zJJLChsz6

[sam boyer @sdboyer]

@AntithesisHQ @jeffreyhuber interested to see where you go!

my biggest question in reading through your docs - how much value comes from smart algorithmic exploration of the combinatorial explosion of SUT state spaces, vs from a powerful, high-level logic language ppl learn to express program invariants?

[sam boyer @sdboyer]

so @antithesishq is making a big claim - autonomous testing! Their docs read like my property-based testing fever dreams... except, uh, cogent.

dare I hope? https://t.co/5EoJs7br1W

Announcing uv: an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust.

uv is designed as a drop-in alternative to pip, pip-tools, and virtualenv.

With a warm cache, uv installs are near-instant. Here, it's > 75x faster than pip and pip-tools.
