Recently learned that MediaWiki (the wiki software of Wikipedia) is easily self-hosted and has a very pragmatic theme available for team wikis-- mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Citi… Features: - responsive to mobile - supports light/dark theme - supports important plugins, like VisualEditor
Taxes are due soon, and it’s the first tax season after the full Section 174 guidance became available. This means tens of thousands of additional software & tech business owners are getting the shock of a massive tax bill even if they broke even or lost money.
This looks really good for handling email newsletter unsubscribes in GMail: github.com/justjake/gmail… Written by a Notion dev, @jitl. Picks up mantle from @labnol who wrote the first version of the script (which I used from 2018-present). Impl: GAppsScript + clasp + GSheets.
"Everything around you that you call 'life' was made up by people who were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use." -Steve Jobs

Furo looks nice. A theme for Python's sphinx documentation framework that has support for reStructuredText and Markdown (via MyST), that is mobile-friendly out of the box, has light/dark themes built-in, good permalinks/code support, easy to customize. github.com/pradyunsg/furo

Excited to announce the (long overdue) 1.0 release of VitePress, a Vite + Vue powered static site generator! You probably have already seen it in action if you've used the docs of Vue, Vite, Vitest, Rollup, D3, Mermaid, VueUse, Pinia, UnoCSS and more... Read more to learn why…
Exciting to see the JIT coming in Python 3.13 docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3…, due to release in October this year.
Had a convo yesterday with a friend about how open web vs closed platform isn't even a debate anymore. People default into closed platforms operated by platform companies or other major tech companies. Yet ironically open web options have never been more plentiful. What gives?
I think a good rating for tweets would be “memey.” That is, some score, 0-100: how much a tweet resembles widely circulated memes. (E.g. midwit meme, score = 100.) I would then love to train the recommender to show me very few posts >50, and to prune my follows of memey posters.
This is a nice short post on writing as a way of thinking and understanding: jack-vanlightly.com/blog/2022/1/25…
If you're not making frequent mistakes, you're probably not experimenting enough.
Python Dask users, please help @mrocklin out!
