Pathlib for Path Manipulations

from Sebastian Witowski [alt+shift+b] in programming

17th Jul 2023
If I were to name my top ten modules from the standard library, pathlib would be high on that list. It could even make it to the top three. Manipulating paths was always a tricky problem if your code was supposed to work on different operating systems. If you accidentally...

7th Apr 2025
While the world frets about the future of AI, the universal basic income advocates have an answer ready for the big question of "what are we all going to do when the jobs are gone": Just pay everyone enough to loaf around as they see fit! Problem solved, right? Wrong. The...

Ongoing Tradeoffs, and Incidents as Landmarks

from Ferd.ca [alt+shift+b] in programming

20th Sep 2025
One of the really valuable things you can get out of in-depth incident investigations is a better understanding of how work is actually done, as opposed to how we think work is done, or how it is specified. A solid approach to do this is to get people back into what things felt...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
