bulletmarker··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
Annoyingly misleading. I read it that the human player was handicapped.
bulletmarker··on Notebooks as reusable Python programs
This is the top reply here but I completely disagree with it. Storing the output of running your source file back into your source file is one of the design decisions in Jupyter which I have always considered abhorrent and am very happy to see fixed by Marimo.
bulletmarker··on Tcl Tutorial
I wonder how this relates to Jim Tcl which you also originally authored?
bulletmarker··on 3blue1brown YouTube Bitcoin video taken down as copyright violation
This is a good example of a sensationalist post title.

And since the CSV importer is terrible there are always a lot of edits to do unfortunately.
bulletmarker··on The Waterfall Model was a straw man argument from the beginning (2015)
If you follow the waterfall process faithfully then you guarantee mediocrity in what you produce.
bulletmarker··on FastHTML – Modern web applications in pure Python
FastHTML is very interesting and reading this thread has led me to discover htpy as well which I am shocked I have never seen before! The htpy website and docs are also great. So now I am a bit of a dilemma over which one to use.

I actually hate working in HTML with all those closing tags etc so I nearly always set up a build/make process to edit my templates in PUG format. When I paste my PUG->html output into https://h2x.answer.ai/, or run html2htpy over them, I get python code that basically looks the same as those PUG templates. What a realization that is! So I may as well create and edit them in python rather than PUG and exploit the power of my beloved python dev environment and tools (as nicely stated in that "Throw out your templates" essay https://github.com/tavisrudd/throw_out_your_templates reference from the htpy docs). Thanks very much Jeremy and Andreas for this fantastic insight :)

I have used pretty much the same setup for the last 6 years. I run borg to a small server then rclone the encrypted backup nightly to B2 storage.
