Zapewne każdy programista zna albo przynajmniej słyszał o Visual Studio Code (VS Code), czyli darmowym edytorze ze stajni Microsoftu.Jednak podejrzewamy, że nie każdy Tech Writer wie co to za narzędzie i że można go z powodzeniem używać do tworzenia dokumentacji. Raczej nie przyda nam się jeśli pracujemy z narzędziami typu CCMS, ale za to doskonale sprawdzi się w modelu "docs as code", w którym niepodzielnie od wielu lat króluje Markdown. Mnogość opcji konfiguracyjnych i dostępnych wtyczek sprawia, że ten edytor może okazać się świetnym wyborem dla technoskrybów, którzy ściśle współpracują z programistami.Rozmawiamy o tym co nam oferuje VS Code, jakie wtyczki przydają się do pisania dokumentacji, jakie ciekawe funkcje można znaleźć w tym edytorze, a nawet o tym jak dodać podstawowe wsparcie dla plików DITA.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, this is Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio. In episode, it seems that AI is a trap. This over-arching generalization is my opinion and may not reflect the opinions of HPR. So the back story to this is that I was listening to the 26 hour Hacker Public Radio New Year's show, and the discussion came up in the Tech and Coffee Telegram Channel My Resolution was to stop using ChatGPT for an AI chat bot, with the implication being to not using AI at all, but instead, to use Duckduckgo and Brave Search Probably less than a week or two later, I was trying to figure out something, and figured that I'd use the easy way and use Claude.ai , which is actually pretty good if you have short and concise questions. I've found that if you have a long drawn-out question, it is better to do a Google or Duck search and document your results. I document in Vim, but you can use whatever is best. This way you can clearly show what works and doesn't work and refer to what you find later, instead of relying on an online service. And sometimes, depending on the AI bot you use, exporting is not very straightforward. With the exception of Duck.ai , that has a button for a quick share of a text file. Then you share it to your self somewhere else like in Proton mail Well… Over the past weekend, I was just making a quick upload button to my own server. The previous weekend, I got HTTPS working. This was just from following the guide on the Let's Encrypt - Documentation and EFF Certbot instruction - Apache2 websites. At least that time, instead of using the AI bot, I just followed clear documentation. See, the thing about going right to the Debian Wiki or the Arch Wiki is that users and developer have already documented plenty. I figured out that part of the hacker method is not to take the ‘easy' way, but to document out what you are trying to learn. So this past weekend, I was trying to learn something about that upload form, and I probably took longer going back and forth with the AI bot than If I had taken the time to search the documentation. And even if it did take longer with the documentation, I would have learned something else and created a Markdown document of my own. There is a tool I use once in a while, which is part of the Duckduckgo search, called Search Assist This can be good, because a have a horrible memory. If there is something small that I can't remember how to do, I let Duck.ai take care of it. But recently, I have turned off the option where it says to sometimes show Search Assist , but instead only when it is on demand. That way I won't be tempted to go down a rabbit hole in order to find what I am looking for. Instead base what I am looking for on standard tools. So Yes, AI is a trap, but is also useful for certain things. But if you are careful how you use it, it's not always a bad thing. This has been Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio.

Hey everyone, Alex here

Un nouvel acteur vient de faire son entrée dans l'univers des assistants intelligents, et il s'adresse directement aux passionnés de Linux. Newelle, c'est son nom, vient de sortir en version 1.0. Basé sur GNOME, l'environnement de bureau phare du monde libre, il se distingue par une intégration native et transparente, avec une interface GTK qui lui donne l'allure d'un outil pensé dès le départ pour l'écosystème Linux.L'assistant ne se contente pas de répondre à des questions : il propose une véritable boîte à outils intelligente. On y retrouve un gestionnaire de fichiers intégré, capable d'accompagner l'utilisateur dans ses tâches grâce à l'IA, un gestionnaire de profils permettant de basculer d'une configuration à une autre, ainsi qu'une mémoire à long terme, qui permet de se souvenir des échanges passés pour personnaliser les interactions.Côté fonctionnalités avancées, Newelle mise sur la flexibilité : choix des modèles d'IA, qu'ils soient locaux ou hébergés dans le cloud, extensions personnalisées pour enrichir l'expérience, et même la possibilité de discuter avec ses propres documents ou d'extraire directement des informations de sites web. Le logiciel prend en charge le Markdown, le LaTeX, mais aussi la reconnaissance vocale et la synthèse vocale, permettant une utilisation totalement mains libres. Plus surprenant encore : il peut exécuter des commandes dans le terminal suggérées par l'IA, une fonction qui séduira sans doute les utilisateurs avancés.Disponible dès maintenant via GitHub ou Flathub, Newelle reste fidèle à la philosophie du libre : son installation est entièrement optionnelle et manuelle. Un contraste marqué avec Microsoft, qui intègre désormais ses assistants de manière quasi imposée à Windows. Avec ce lancement, Newelle s'impose comme une alternative sérieuse et respectueuse pour ceux qui veulent profiter de l'intelligence artificielle tout en gardant le contrôle de leur environnement. Reste à voir si la communauté Linux saura s'emparer de ce nouvel outil et l'enrichir, comme elle sait si bien le faire. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Obsidian is a note-taking and productivity app that occupies the same "second brain" space as competitors like Notion — but in a lot of ways, it's also startlingly different. Obsidian's files are Markdown-based, stored locally on your own devices, and completely free to use. Steph Ango, the CEO, is also different in a lot of ways: He's not an Obsidian founder, but instead came to the role from being basically a member of the fan development community. His take on software, productivity, and business is refreshingly old-fashioned in a lot of good ways, while he's also leading a very 21st century startup.  Read the full transcript on The Verge.

¿Alguna vez te has detenido a pensar dónde están tus notas de Google Keep? Ese pensamiento fugaz, esa idea brillante o esa lista de la compra... todo está en los servidores de Google, fuera de tu control. La dependencia de los servicios de terceros no solo pone en juego nuestra privacidad, sino que también nos hace vulnerables a cambios en las políticas o, en el peor de los casos, a que el servicio deje de existir.En este episodio de "atareao con Linux", te invito a dar un paso audaz hacia la soberanía de tus datos. La solución es simple y poderosa: el autoalojamiento. Y para demostrarlo, te presento una auténtica joya del mundo del código abierto, una aplicación llamada Glass Keep.¿Qué es Glass Keep?Glass Keep es una aplicación de notas minimalista y de código abierto, desarrollada con React. Su diseño, inspirado en la interfaz de Google Keep, incorpora un toque moderno y elegante de "Glassmorphism" que la hace visualmente única. Pero más allá de su estética, su verdadero valor radica en que puedes desplegarla en tu propio servidor.

¿Alguna vez te has detenido a pensar dónde están tus notas de Google Keep? Ese pensamiento fugaz, esa idea brillante o esa lista de la compra... todo está en los servidores de Google, fuera de tu control. La dependencia de los servicios de terceros no solo pone en juego nuestra privacidad, sino que también nos hace vulnerables a cambios en las políticas o, en el peor de los casos, a que el servicio deje de existir.En este episodio de "atareao con Linux", te invito a dar un paso audaz hacia la soberanía de tus datos. La solución es simple y poderosa: el autoalojamiento. Y para demostrarlo, te presento una auténtica joya del mundo del código abierto, una aplicación llamada Glass Keep.¿Qué es Glass Keep?Glass Keep es una aplicación de notas minimalista y de código abierto, desarrollada con React. Su diseño, inspirado en la interfaz de Google Keep, incorpora un toque moderno y elegante de "Glassmorphism" que la hace visualmente única. Pero más allá de su estética, su verdadero valor radica en que puedes desplegarla en tu propio servidor. De esta forma, tus notas están bajo tu control total y absoluto.Características que la hacen indispensable:Autenticación y multi-usuario: Permite que varios usuarios se registren y gestionen sus notas de forma privada, garantizando que cada uno solo vea su propio contenido.

They share hands-on experiences with various AI coding tools and models, discuss best practices (like providing clear project context vs. “vibe coding”), and outline a mental model to categorize these tools. Below are key highlights with timestamps, followed by a comprehensive list of resources mentioned.Episode Highlights00:05 – Introduction: Tim expresses feeling overwhelmed by the proliferation of AI coding tools. As a tech lead and coder, he's been trying to keep up with the hype versus reality. The discussion is set to compare notes on different tools they've each tried and to map out the current AI coding assistant landscape.01:50 – Tools Tried and Initial Impressions: David shares his journey starting with Microsoft-centric tools. His go-to has been GitHub Copilot (integrated in VS Code/Visual Studio), which now leverages various models (including OpenAI and Anthropic). He has also experimented with several alternatives: Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI agentic coder), OpenAI's Codex CLI (an official terminal-based coding agent by OpenAI), Google's Gemini CLI (an open-source command-line AI agent giving access to Google's Gemini model), and Manus (a recently introduced autonomous AI coding agent). These tools all aim to boost developer productivity, but results have been mixed – for example, Tim tried the Windsurf editor (an AI-powered IDE) using an Anthropic Claude model (“Claude 3.5 Sonnet”) and found it useful but “nowhere near 10×” productivity improvement as some LinkedIn influencers claimed. The community's take on these tools is highly polarized, with skeptics calling it hype and enthusiasts claiming dramatic gains.04:39 – Importance of Context (Prompt Engineering vs “Vibe Coding”): A major theme is providing clear requirements and context to the AI. David found that all these coding platforms (whether GUI IDE like Windsurf or Cursor, or CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex) allow you to supply custom instructions and project docs (often via Markdown) – essentially like giving the AI a spec. When he attempted building new apps, he had much more success by writing a detailed PRD (Product Requirements Document) and feeding it to the AI assistant. For instance, he gave the same spec (tech stack, features, and constraints) to Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, and each generated a reasonable project scaffold in minutes. All stuck to the specified frameworks and even obeyed instructions like “don't add extra packages unless approved.” This underscores that if you prompt these tools with structured context (analogous to good old-fashioned requirements documents), they perform markedly better. David mentions that Amazon's new AI IDE, Kiro (introduced recently as a spec-driven development tool) embraces this “context-first” approach – aiming to eliminate one-shot “vibe coding” chaos by having the AI plan from a spec before writing code. He notes that using top-tier models (Anthropic's Claude “Opus 4” was referenced as an example, available only in an expensive plan) can further improve adherence to instructions, but even smaller models do decently if guided well.07:03 – Community Reactions: The conversation touches on the culture around these tools. There's acknowledgment of toxicity in some online discussions – e.g. seasoned engineers scoffing at newcomers using AI (“non-engineers” doing vibe coding). Tim and David distance themselves from gatekeeping attitudes; their stance is that anyone interested in the tech should be encouraged, while just being mindful of pitfalls (like code quality, security, or privacy issues when using AI). They see value in exploring all levels of AI assistance, provided one remains pragmatic about what works and stays cautious about sensitive data.29:57 – Models + 4 Levels of AI Coding Tool: Tim introduces a mental model to frame the AI coding assistant ecosystem (around 29:57). The idea is to separate the foundational models from the tools built on top, and to classify those tools into four levels of increasing capability:Underlying Models: First, there are the core large language models themselves – e.g. OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude (various versions like Claude 1.* and 2, including fast “Sonnet” models and the heavier “Opus” models), Google's Gemini model, as well as open-source local models. These are the engines that power everything else, but interacting with raw models isn't the whole story.Level 1 – Basic Chat Interface: Tools where you interact via a simple chat UI (text in/out) with no direct integration into your coding environment. ChatGPT in the browser, or voice assistants that can produce code snippets on request, fall here. They can write code based on prompts, but you have to copy-paste results – the AI isn't tied into your files or IDE.Level 2 – Agentic IDE/CLI Assistants: Tools that deeply integrate with your development environment, able to edit files and execute commands. This includes AI-augmented IDEs and editors like Windsurf Editor (a standalone AI-native IDE) and Cursor (AI-assisted code editor), as well as command-line agents that can manipulate your project (like the CLI versions of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini CLI). At this level, the AI can read your project files, make changes, create new files, run build/test commands, etc., acting almost like a pair programmer who can use the keyboard and terminal. (For example, Windsurf's “Cascade” agent mode and Cursor's agent mode allow multi-file edits and running shell commands automatically.)Level 3 – Enhanced Context and Memory: Tools or techniques focused on feeding the model more project knowledge and context (sometimes dubbed “context en...

On the podcast I talk with John about the fascinating 40-year history of Apple's developer relations, how almost going bankrupt in the 1990s shaped today's control-focused approach, and why we might need an ‘App Store 3.0' reset.Top Takeaways:

In this episode of the Building Better Developers with AI podcast, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular past topic: the power of documentation. Instead of repeating the same points, they used ChatGPT to surface fresh talking points and spark a new conversation. This wasn't about using AI to generate documentation, but using it to revisit, reflect, and dive deeper into the value of documenting your development work. The result is a renewed appreciation for one of the most overlooked parts of software development—and how to make it better. The Power of Documentation: Why We Resist, But Still Need It “Good documentation might not get noticed—but bad or missing documentation definitely will.” Most developers avoid documentation. It's viewed as: Time-consuming Low ROI Secondary to writing “clean code” But as Rob and Michael explain, the power of documentation becomes obvious when someone new joins the team, when you return to your own code months later, or when something breaks in production. Without documentation, your project becomes fragile—even dangerous. Using AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can help kick-start outlines, clarify intentions, and even summarize logic to make documenting easier. The Power of Documentation in Planning: Comment-Driven Development “Don't just write code—write your thinking process.” One of the key strategies Rob shares is comment-driven development. Start by outlining your logic and workflow using plain-language comments or pseudocode. This mirrors how many AI tools generate code: from your intent to executable logic. Michael supports this with a reminder that self-documenting code—through clear naming, logical structure, and readable syntax—is also a form of documentation. Helpful tools: JSDoc Doxygen Sphinx Notion AI The Power of Documentation as a Force Multiplier “Documentation doesn't just explain—it accelerates.” Rob and Michael stress that the power of documentation isn't just about code comments—it's about velocity, quality, and reliability. Good documentation: Speeds up onboarding Reduces bugs and confusion Enables DevOps and automated testing Clarifies communication across teams Tools like Swagger and Postman transform API docs into live interfaces—letting you test endpoints, view examples, and generate clients with ease. The Power of Documentation: What It Costs to Skip It “If you don't write it down, it walks out the door with your last developer.” Michael shares stories of undocumented systems that became impossible to maintain when key developers left. Even worse is documentation that exists—but is never updated. Best practices: Keep docs near the code (e.g., Markdown in repo) Automate updates with tools like MkDocs Treat documentation like testing: part of your done definition Pro tip: Add documentation as a checklist item in your development tickets. Don't consider a task complete until it's explained clearly. The Power of Documentation in Practice: Where to Start “Every project deserves a README, a runbook, and a little foresight.” Rob and Michael outline the foundational documentation every project should have: README.md — Overview, build/setup steps, key dependencies Code comments — Especially around complex or non-obvious logic API documentation — Inputs, outputs, examples Architecture diagrams — System design and flow Runbooks — Deployment, recovery, and incident response Testing strategy — How to verify features and stability These documents preserve the power of documentation and ensure long-term maintainability, even as teams and tools evolve. Developer Challenge: Take One Step This Week Your challenge from the episode: Pick one area of your project—just one—and improve its documentation this week. Update the README. Create a runbook. Add clear inline comments to a tricky method. If you're not sure where to start, use AI to outline your intent or help create a checklist. Tag your results with #DevDocChallenge and share how you're strengthening the power of documentation in your work. Final Thoughts: Let AI Inspire, But Let Documentation Lead In this episode, Rob and Michael didn't use AI to do the documentation. They used it to start a better conversation about why it matters. The power of documentation is timeless—but now we have better tools and habits to make it sustainable. If you want to build code that lasts, supports teams, and scales with confidence—make documentation part of your strategy from day one. Callout: Build smarter. Build clearer. Embrace the power of documentation—your future self and your team will thank you.

Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm. Joke: Vibecon is hard to attend

科技快乐星球，攒了一个月，量大管饱。最近Justin买了小米AI眼镜，先说结论：现阶段这类型的AI眼镜都没啥必要买。 除了小米，还有Meta和Rayban合作的眼镜，还有Meta和Okaley，还有国内的雷鸟等多家厂商都开发了类似的产品。但是小米的AI眼镜，与其他家一样，共享了所有此类设备都有的缺点，但并未针对这些缺点提出创新的解决方案。 详情我们在节目里详聊。 此外，OpenAI/Google/Claude等各大厂商持续在AI领域发力，眼看今年AI仍然是竞争大热的方向。 时间轴 00:00:59 小米AI眼镜上手体验感受 00:06:53 超级小爱AI能力不及预期 00:11:18 小米为什么要做AI眼镜 00:17:52 小米AI眼镜音乐播放和录音的问题 00:28:31 OpenAI 欲与 io 联手开发AI耳机硬件 00:33:15 iPhone 音频文件能直接设置铃声了 00:34:26 AirPods 将新增相机控制、睡眠检测 00:39:05 Google 发布了 Gemini CLI 00:42:18 Gemini App 支持上传视频功能 00:43:16 MIT研究：ChatGPT让用户变懒，脑部活动下降 00:51:37 Gemini 2.5 模型家族：Flash/Pro/Lite 亮相 00:52:54 谷歌发布 Weather Lab AI 提升气旋预测准确性 00:54:04 阿里 Lingma IDE 上线，基于 VSCode 魔改 00:55:34 OpenAI 或推出"用ChatGPT登录"第三方应用功能 00:58:11 阿联酋全民将免费获得ChatGPT Plus订阅 00:59:45 Windsurf 被 Claude 断供，CEO发文控诉 01:00:38 Swift 编程语言正式支持 Android 平台 01:01:48 Switch2 日本销量超过 Xbox 本世代主机总和 01:05:05 安克创新主动召回部分批次移动电源 01:06:52 Android 16 正式版今日上线 01:07:51 腾讯音乐拟收购喜马拉雅 100% 股权 01:12:08 Spotify 支持在车里临时播放乘客的歌单 01:12:58 泰勒·斯威夫特成功回购前六张专辑母带所有权 01:14:36 Windows 11 记事本新增 Markdown 格式支持 01:15:07 苹果近年来的创新趋势 幕后制作 主播: 枫影 Justin Yan 主播: 自力 hzlzh 后期: 静静 监制: 自力 hzlzh 联系我们 微信听友群：加fyfyFM进群 听众反馈: hi@fyfy.fm 节目收听方式 推荐使用苹果Podcast, 小宇宙等播客客户端搜索“枫言枫语”来订阅收听本节目。 小宇宙 - 枫言枫语 直接订阅 Feed URL Apple iTunes Podcast - 枫言枫语

Ein Klick – und nichts passiert. Statt der gewünschten Website landet man im digitalen Nirwana: 404 Not Found. Jede:r kennt es, niemand mag es. Doch was technisch im Hintergrund passiert, wenn ein Link kaputt ist – und wie man das automatisch erkennen kann – ist alles andere als simpel.Denn Links sind weit mehr als nur HTTP-URLs. Sie können auf Dateien, E-Mail-Adressen oder interne Dokumentfragmente zeigen. Sie können sich über Weiterleitungen verändern, mit JavaScript generiert werden oder nur unter bestimmten Bedingungen erreichbar sein. Und genau das macht die automatische Überprüfung von Links so komplex.In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Matthias Endler, Rust-Consultant, Blogger und Core-Maintainer des Open-Source-Linkcheckers Lychee. Was als Side Project begann, ist heute im Einsatz bei Unternehmen wie Amazon und GitLab. Mit Matthias diskutieren wir, wie Lychee aufgebaut ist, warum Linkchecking so viele Edge Cases beinhaltet und warum es ohne gutes Domain-Wissen oft unmöglich ist, die „richtige“ Antwort zu erkennen.Wir sprechen über die Rolle von HTTP-Statuscodes (inkl. selbst erfundener Codes), Markdown vs. HTML Parsing, Redirect-Hölle, die Tücken von GitHub APIs, wie Lychee Plattform-Spezialfälle wie YouTube oder LinkedIn behandelt – und warum DOI-Links trotz akademischer Standards gerne mal ins Leere laufen.Bonus: Warum Matthias den Server einer Immobilienmaklerin am Gewissen hat.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Git Town solves the problem that using the Git CLI correctly Git Town is a reusable implementation of Git workflows for common usage scenarios like contributing to a centralized code repository on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea. Think of Git Town as your Bash scripts for Git, but fully engineered with rock-solid support for many use cases, edge cases, and error conditions. Keep using Git the way you do now, but with extra commands to create various branch types, keep them in sync, compress, review, and ship them efficiently. Basic workflow Commands to create, work on, and ship features. git town hack - create a new feature branch git town sync - update the current branch with all ongoing changes git town switch - switch between branches visually git town propose - propose to ship a branch git town ship - deliver a completed feature branch Additional workflow commands Commands to deal with edge cases. git town delete - delete a feature branch git town rename - rename a branch git town repo - view the Git repository in the browser Brian #2: PEP 751 – A file format to record Python dependencies for installation reproducibility Accepted From Brett Cannon “PEP 751 has been accepted! This means Python now has a lock file standard that can act as an export target for tools that can create some sort of lock file. And for some tools the format can act as their primary lock file format as well instead of some proprietary format.” File name: pylock.toml or at least something that starts with pylock and ends with .toml It's exciting to see the start of a standardized lock file Michael #3: git-who and watchgha git-who is a command-line tool for answering that eternal question: Who wrote this code?! Unlike git blame, which can tell you who wrote a line of code, git-who tells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase. You can think of git-who sort of like git blame but for file trees rather than individual files. And watchgha - Live display of current GitHub action runs by Ned Batchelder Brian #4: Share Python Scripts Like a Pro: uv and PEP 723 for Easy Deployment Dave Johnson Nice full tutorial discussing single file Python scripts using uv with external dependencies Starting with a script with dependencies. Using uv add --script [HTML_REMOVED] [HTML_REMOVED] to add a /// script block to the top Using uv run Adding #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script shebang Even some Windows advice Extras Brian: April 1 pranks done well BREAKING: Guido van Rossum Returns as Python's BDFL including Brett Cannon noted as “Famous Python Quotationist” Guido taking credit for “I came for the language but I stayed for the community” which was from Brett then Brett's title of “Famous Python Quotationist” is crossed out. Barry Warsaw asking Guido about releasing Python 2.8 Barry is the FLUFL, “Friendly Language Uncle For Life “ Mariatta can't get Guido to respond in chat until she addresses him as “my lord”. “… becoming one with whitespace.” “Indentation is Enlightenment” Upcoming new keyword: maybe Like “if” but more Pythonic as in Maybe: print("Python The Documentary - Coming This Summer!") I'm really hoping there is a documentary April 1 pranks done poorly Note: pytest-repeat works fine with Python 3.14, and never had any problems If you have to explain the joke, maybe it's not funny. The explanation pi, an irrational number, as in it cannot be expressed by a ratio of two integers, starts with 3.14159 and then keeps going, and never repeats. Python 3.14 is in alpha and people could be testing with it for packages Test & Code is doing a series on pytest plugins pytest-repeat is a pytest plugin, and it happened to not have any tests for 3.14 yet. Now the “joke”. I pretended that I had tried pytest-repeat with Python 3.14 and it didn't work. Test & Code: Python 3.14 won't repeat with pytest-repeat Thus, Python 3.14 won't repeat. Also I mentioned that there was no “rational” explanation. And pi is an irrational number. Michael: pysqlscribe v0.5.0 has the “parse create scripts” feature I suggested! Markdown follow up Prettier to format Markdown via Hugo Been using mdformat on some upcoming projects including the almost done Talk Python in Production book. Command I like is mdformat --number --wrap no ./ uv tool install --with is indeed the pipx inject equivalent, but requires multiple --with's: pipx inject mdformat mdformat-gfm mdformat-frontmatter mdformat-footnote mdformat-gfm-alerts uv tool install mdformat --with mdformat-gfm --with mdformat-frontmatter --with mdformat-footnote --with mdformat-gfm-alerts uv follow up From James Falcon As a fellow uv enthusiast, I was still holding out for a use case that uv hasn't solved. However, after last week's episode, you guys finally convinced me to switch over fully, so I figured I'd explain the use case and how I'm working around uv's limitations. I maintain a python library supported across multiple python versions and occasionally need to deal with bugs specific to a python version. Because of that, I have multiple virtualenvs for one project. E.g., mylib38 (for python 3.8), mylib313 (for python 3.13), etc. I don't want a bunch of .venv directories littering my project dir. For this, pyenv was fantastic. You could create the venv with pyenv virtualenv 3.13.2 mylib313, then either activate the venv with pyenv activate mylib313 and create a .python-version file containing mylib313 so I never had to manually activate the env I want to use by default on that project. uv doesn't have a great solution for this use case, but I switched to a workflow that works well enough for me: Define my own central location for venvs. For me that's ~/v Create venvs with something like uv venv --python 3.13 ~/v/mylib313 Add a simple function to my bashrc: `workon() { source ~/v/$1/bin/activate } so now I can run workon mylib313orworkon mylib38when I need to work in a specific environment. uv's.python-version` support works much differently than pyenv's, and that lack of support is my biggest frustration with this approach, but I am willing to live without it. Do you Firefox but not Zen? You can now make pure Firefox more like Zen's / Arc's layout. Joke: So here it will stay See the follow up thread too! Also: Guido as Lord Python via Nick Muoh

Brian #1: mdformat Suggested by Matthias Schöttle Last episode Michael covered blacken-docs, and I mentioned it'd be nice to have an autoformatter for text markdown. Matthias delivered with suggesting mdformat “Mdformat is an opinionated Markdown formatter that can be used to enforce a consistent style in Markdown files.” A python project that can be run on the command line. Uses a style guide I mostly agree with. I'm not a huge fan of numbered list items all being “1.”, but that can be turned off with --number, so I'm happy. Converts underlined headings to #, ##, etc. headings. Lots of other sane conventions. The numbering thing is also sane, I just think it also makes the raw markdown hard to read. Has a plugin system to format code blocks Michael #2: pre-commit-uv via Ben Falk Use uv to create virtual environments and install packages for pre-commit. Brian #3: PEP 758 and 781 PEP 758 – Allow except and except* expressions without parentheses accepted PEP 781 – Make TYPE_CHECKING a built-in constant draft status Also, PEP Index by Category kinda rocks Michael #4: Serie: rich git commit graph in your terminal, like magic While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs. Others may find git log --graph sufficient. Goals Provide a rich git log --graph experience in the terminal. Offer commit graph-centric browsing of Git repositories.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Why aren't you using uv? Fun conversation on X by Armin Ronacher. Interesting quotes from the thread I get it replaces pip/pyenv, but should I also use it instead of the built in 'python -m venv .venv'? But I need python installed to make python programs? Because it places the venv in the project folder and I can't run executables from there due to corporate policy. Many such cases. No idea why astral doesn't address this with more urgency. Sounds like a bad corporate policy :) i'm too lazy to switch from pyenv and pip trust issues, what if they do a bait and switch … Because everyone said that about poetry and I'm not sure I'm really ready to get hurt again. Masochism Many times I tried a lot of similar tools and always come back to pip and pip-tools. Them are just work, why should I spend my time for something "cool" that will bring more problems? I tried this week but I was expecting a "uv install requests" instead of "uv add". Switched back to pipenv. we partially use it. will transition when Dependabot support is available. I'll leave it with → Jared Scheel: Seeing a whole lotta Stockholm Syndrome in the replies to this question. Brian #2: Python Developer Tooling Handbook Tim Hopper “This is not a book about programming Python. Instead, the goal of this book is to help you understand the ecosystem of tools used to make Python development easier and more productive” Covers tools related to packaging, linting, formatting, and managing dependencies. Michael #3: Calling all doc writers: blacken-docs Run black on python code blocks in documentation files You can also install blacken-docs as a pre-commit hook. It supports Markdown, reStructuredText, and LaTex files. Additionally, you can run it on Python files to reformat Markdown and reStructuredText within docstrings. Brian #4: Reinventing notebooks as reusable Python programs marimo allows you to store notebooks as plaintext Python files properties Git-friendly: small code change => small diff easy for both humans and computers to read importable as a Python module, without executing notebook cells executable as a Python script editable with a text editor Also, … testing with pytest “Because marimo notebooks are just Python files, they are interoperable with other tools for Python — including pytest. “ “Testing cells. Any cell named as test_* is automatically discoverable and testable by pytest. The same goes for any cell that contains only test_ functions and Test classes.” “Importantly, because cells are wrapped in functions, running pytest test_notebook.py doesn't execute the entire notebook — just its tests.” Extras Brian: PyConUS announces Refund Policy for International Attendees New format now live for The Complete pytest Course Bundle and component courses Each course now available separately also pytest Primary Power is 13 lessons, 3.9 hours Using pytest with Projects, 10 lessons, 3.4 hours pytest Booster Rockets, 6 lessons, 1.3 hours of content New format is easier to navigate Better for people who like different speeds.

Michael: PyCon Taiwan is currently calling for proposals HN trends follow up via Shinjitsu I'm sure some other Hacker News reader has already given you the feedback, but in the unlikely case that they haven't, You read those headlines in this segment exactly wrong. “Ask HN: Who is hiring?" is a monthly post that asks employers to post about jobs they have available “Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?” is a monthly topic where they ask people who are looking for jobs to post about themselves in the hope that their skillset it is a good match (and not an LLM generated resume) So unfortunately your rosy analysis might need a less rosy interpretation.
