This is tough to talk about, but we'll need some help to keep Iffy Books going. Here's a letter we've been circulating that explains the situation: https://iffybooks.net/a-letter-from-steve-at-iffy-books-june-13-2025/
Last week we asked for help to keep Iffy Books going, and y'all really came through. Our immediate needs are met, and it looks like we're in good shape to stay open indefinitely. Words fail, but thank you so much!

I finally properly published an introductory Python course that I wrote a few years ago, on http://proficientpython.com/
I added interactive quizzes and Pyodide-powered code widgets with doctest runners.

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made it possible for couples like Brad and me to marry in every corner of this country. It was a moment we never thought we’d live to see and one we’ll never take for granted. Now, we must stay vigilant to ensure that right is never taken away. Love is love. Then, now, and always.

Using a 485M year graph to show that "we're in a cooling period" is objectively the dumbest winger climate change denial shit I've ever heard...
Newsflash my dude, human society such as we understand it is probably 20K or less years old. So it really doesn't matter how hot the earth was when "life" consisted of dinosaurs and plankton you fucking dipshit. This thing, we call "human society?" Doesn't work at the rate of warming we're currently on.
Okay, #Fediverse, here’s my long-winded reply to 
@tchambersTim Chambers about “The Seven Deadly Fediverse UX Sins”. I mainly wrote this because it’s a really interesting subject, and I believe there’s a lot of positive things we could do together.

I've taken to calling Claude "the robot" rather than Claude. feels like a tiny way to push back against overly humanizing it.
One Big, Beautiful Backdoor: AI Moratorium
CALL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE: 813-213-3989
https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/22/moratorium-on-state-ai-regulation-clears-senate-hurdle/
This 10-year AI regulation moratorium that Republican Senators are pushing as part of their “One Big, Beautiful Bill” budget package would not only block new state + local rules protecting us from AI discrimination in housing, employment, and healthcare but this could also erase years of hard work passing bans on privacy-invading AI tech like facial recognition. The same tech being actively used by police, ICE + military to target vulnerable people, especially black and brown communities.
To any folks early in transition, please know it gets better. But I'm sorry, you're probably going to have to fight for it.
The Fedi equivalent of the “this meeting could have been an email” is “this unhinged reply could have been a therapy session“
ensure that the User can trust the Wallet Solution
they buy the bs sold by google/apple huh
play integrity / safety net (aka drm) does not ensure the user of anything, all it does it take away the user’s ability to modify the software the devices they own run
This allows the operating system of the device to perform relevant checks regarding the authenticity of the app
no, it gives the app ways to check if the OS is unmodified, by google’s definition of unmodified.
the app shouldn’t check the os, the os should be safe by default and vet apps. should an user want to do a modification to their os that google did not personally approve, that should be none of the concerns of applications running under that os

Here's a glimpse at the future of JavaScript (and what's already available to use in Deno)
⭐ explicit resource management (using)
⭐ Array.fromAsync
⭐ Error.isError
⭐ immutable ArrayBuffer
⭐ Random.Seeded
⭐ Number.prototype.clamp
⭐ keep trailing zeros
⭐ comparisons
⭐ random functions
The 
@deno_landDeno used `anyhow` for error handling across the board. It worked until the codebase got big. Then it turned into a mess of unclear errors from everywhere. Leo Kettmeir will be at #EuroRust25 to talk about how they fixed it. It’s a session you don’t want to miss.

I just had to call my power company because reasons, and in the little automated hold thing, there was an announcement that said:
"We look forward to helping you though mutually respectful conversation (Emphasis added by me because the recording emphasized those words). Be aware that we will not tolerate any abusive language to our staff, and will disconnect the call in that event."
And like
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Holy shit why don't more call centers protect their people like this? I have too many friends working in call centers that deserve this sort of protection.
퀴즈엔 여러개의 보기가 있습니다. 사용자는 퀴즈당 한개의 보기만 고를 수 있습니다. 이를 어떻게 강제 할 수 있을까요? Django ORM에서 말이죠.
답은, ‘쉽지 않다’ 입니다.
(user, quiz, option)을 response의 필드로 두고 (user, quiz)에 unique constraint를 걸면, option이 quiz 소속인지를 보장 할 수 없는데, 이거까지 보장하는건 쉽지 않습니다.
(user, option)만 필드로 둘 경우엔 (user, option__quiz)를 unique로 둬야하는데 이런 기능은 존재하지 않죠.
복합키, trigger 등을 사용하기엔 너무 복잡하고, 결국 어플리케이션 로직이 필요합니다.

I am so glad the Fediverse has people like Andy working for it, and it has been really wonderful to discuss about many many different topic but that can be boiled down to:

前些日子我附近的河堤邊在草皮跟柏油路間建造了一個小小的擋水牆（左邊白線右側）經過幾次大雨它的效果慢慢出來了，無法順利排水的草皮因為積水滲出的土壤漫到了畫面右邊的人行步道，當下雨時造成一片泥濘的效果。這個小擋水牆的原始目的我不清楚是什麼，但確實有它的「效果」發生。

國中參加三天兩夜電腦營，當時的環境是 DOS（使用 5.25 吋磁碟片開機），我什麼都不懂，第一天上機很興奮，我記得輸入的第一個指令是 “How are you?“。沒得到滿意的答覆。
科技進步神速，三十多年後，電腦可以認真回答我的提問了。
