Once again I demonstrate that I do not know how to use social media, not even Mastodon. Let me try that again properly with the relevant metadata: I have done my first post-ZeroVer release of , an raw access library. If that collection of hashtags seems interesting to you, perhaps check it out!

    GitHub Actions is dropping Intel macOS by November.

    (Cirrus dropped it in Dec 2022, CircleCI in June 2024, Travis CI dropped all(!) macOS in April, and Anaconda last week.)

    CPython has dropped it to tier 2. What does this mean to you? Not too much; we still support it, produce installers, CI failures block releases.

    It means we only test on buildbots and failures must be fixed/reverted within 24h rather than immediately.

              @glyph @hynek it'd be interesting IMO to see the breakdown of how many people use YouTube by level of experience. My hypothesis is that there's a (positive) correlation between level of experience and preference for written documentation over video documentation - I think videos are reasonably well suited for tutorials (if you are the type of person who can learn from a video at all) but poorly suited for the reference documentation that more experienced devs are more likely to use.

                                  It mostly comes down to Alpine’s use of musl libc rather than ’s glibc. musl is optimized for minimalism, not raw performance. Also, the Alpine packages are often not compiled with as many optimizations.

Much of modern packaging infrastructure is not designed to handle conflicting versions of packages in one environment.

                                                            But adding annotations makes the entire framework notice that the pattern of paired-Protocol-and-Factory subclasses are inherently LSP violations, because .protocol and .factory are writable attributes and thus invariant.
