Very cool! Have you done any Evals? I’m trying to figure out my own personal evals to know if anything I’m doing makes a real difference

I had a similar realization recently after realizing I was putting way too much energy into my day job.

The one thing I’m having a hard time with is determining what the right level of effort is. What signals and indicators do you use to know when you’re doing enough or too much?

It’s challenging to read for me too.

Are there any settings to improve the ui? I enabled reduced motion turned but iOS 26 is still intolerable.

Huge thank you for all the amazing work the astral team is doing. uv is an absolute game changer and I can’t imagine going back to a pre-uv world.

Awesome work. I love seeing a community project step up and make a better solution than a multi trillion dollar company.

I’d love to see a collection of every attempt to add encryption back doors to apple/iPhone products. It feels like they never stop trying.

Have you tried beartype? It's worked well for me and has the least overhead of any other runtime type checker.

New comment by StackTopherFlow in "Breaking Up with Long Tasks or: how I learned to group loops and wield the yield"

StackTopherFlow — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 20:58:33 +0000

I agree with you. I rarely find myself in a situation where a piece of async code forces me to refactor a synchronous code to be async.

A lot of junior devs I've worked with don't understand that putting `async` in front of a function doesn't actually make it asynchronous.

I agree, optimizing for readability and maintainability is almost always the right choice.
