00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:42.600 So in the past, there's pandas, but then there's other things that pandas has inspired, like I'm blanking on all the names, but there's a bunch of other type pandas-like things that do similar stuff. 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.700 So they have the call syntax already, so that's just coming back into pandas. 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:49.560 So what is this? 00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:58.840 So when you want to talk about pandas columns, in the past, a lot of times you had to come up with these, use these lambda expressions. 00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:04.460 So like lambda x for x temp, specifying a column. 00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:13.000 So you kind of select it with a lambda expression because you want the expression to happen not outside of the data frame, but in the context of the data frame. 00:03:13.260 --> 00:03:16.380 So it's, you know, there's some trickiness in doing that. 00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:19.000 So really, that's what's going on. 00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:27.360 And the article we're going to link to talks about using lambdas and then kind of times where that doesn't work right. 00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.380 There's some flakiness that happens with lambdas. 00:03:30.940 --> 00:03:32.700 It doesn't always do what you might think. 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.720 And then introduces using columns instead. 00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:45.580 So the syntax of using instead of the lambda, just doing pd.call and passing in a column name. 00:03:46.320 --> 00:03:49.080 That's really all I wanted to talk about was really, this is pretty cool. 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:52.260 And I'm looking forward to being able to use this column. 00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:56.000 There are new things coming also along these lines. 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:04.880 So some of the other things that some of the other tools use is things like PD all to select multiple columns. 00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:07.520 That's not in this one yet. 00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:16.500 But there's other multiple expressions in PDL selectors and other things that they want to bring into Pandas. 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:19.100 But this is a good starting point. 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:19.940 This is great. 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:20.500 I love it. 00:04:20.690 --> 00:04:22.280 I love to see it getting better. 00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:26.840 You know, Pandas is definitely the primary way people do data frames. 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.500 And there's some young whippersnappers nipping at the heels like Polars and others. 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.080 So great to see some of these ideas being brought back. 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:34.460 Yeah. 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.060 Absolutely. 00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:38.440 Now, let's talk about whippersnappers for sure. 00:04:38.700 --> 00:04:40.280 The young vibe coder type. 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.480 No, I want to talk about agentic code, certainly not just for vibe coding. 00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:48.580 So I actually have been doing a lot of cursor lately, and I really like it. 00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:55.660 I think it's, at some point I have more to say, but I think it's pretty stunning what you can do these days with agentic AI coding. 00:04:56.060 --> 00:05:07.380 I talked to Matt Makai a few weeks ago on Talk Python about, he was using ColladeCode and NeoVim, But these agentic tool using coding AIs are just unbelievable what they can do. 00:05:07.590 --> 00:05:10.240 They all have their own little variation, which is kind of funky. 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.660 You know, cursor is like a VS Code fork. 00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:20.980 But then Microsoft said, hey, maybe we shouldn't just let everybody just take our stuff and redo our business model against us, which is absolutely fair. 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:22.500 So they cancel a bunch of stuff. 00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:24.980 So it's not quite VS Code, but it's kind of VS Code. 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.740 There's Claude Code, which is terminal based. 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.200 But what I want to mention today is something called Klein. 00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:36.140 And I think the idea of it, if you're at all inclined to care about the AI coding thing. 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:37.160 Inclined. 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:38.180 Inclined. 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:38.860 Pretty good. 00:05:39.380 --> 00:05:44.860 If you're at all inclined to care about the inline coding thing, then Klein should be pretty interesting to you. 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:45.440 Why is that? 00:05:45.640 --> 00:05:50.500 First of all, it works in pretty much all the places that you would care about. 00:05:50.770 --> 00:05:53.480 It works in VS Code, VS Code Insider, Cursors. 00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:54.680 Cursor, which is interesting. 00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:06.400 So this and OpenAI's codecs both install into Cursor, which is a separate product with its own AI coding thing, but it's like just use a different pane if you don't like it or you run out of credits or whatever, you know. 00:06:06.780 --> 00:06:14.460 But it also installs, and this is one of the main reasons I'm bringing this up, is JetBrains IDEs, in particular PyCharm, but many others as well. 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:22.800 So if you want to bring whatever model you want to PyCharm or to VS Code or whatever, then you can do that. 00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:28.180 The other thing is places like Cursor charge a percentage on top of inference. 00:06:28.510 --> 00:06:37.840 So if you pay, let's say you do $10 worth of work, that would basically be what Claude or the OpenAI API charges Cursor. 00:06:37.910 --> 00:06:40.460 They're like, all right, well, $12 is what you pay, right? 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.460 With Klein, this is open source. 00:06:42.570 --> 00:06:44.560 You can see 51,000 GitHub stars. 00:06:45.010 --> 00:06:48.380 So it's open source and it doesn't charge for inference. 00:06:48.780 --> 00:07:01.580 What it does is you can either give them a credit and they'll pay it along to whoever you pick in your dropdown, or you could just put in an anthropic API key or an open AI API key, and then that's your model. 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.260 And they're not involved in that transaction, which I think is pretty interesting. 00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:10.240 The other thing that's kind of cool is they have a very distinct plan versus act mode. 00:07:10.250 --> 00:07:13.380 You can see in the screenshot at the bottom, it has a plan and an act. 00:07:13.660 --> 00:07:25.520 And one of the things you can do to be way more successful on complicated AI jobs is to say, please plan this out, write it down in a markdown file, and then come back and say, now you can act. 00:07:25.780 --> 00:07:27.600 Let's do step one and work through that. 00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:28.820 Now let's do step two. 00:07:29.020 --> 00:07:30.180 It'll keep the context smaller. 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.820 It'll keep the thing a little more focused and so on. 00:07:32.820 --> 00:07:33.520 So that's pretty nice. 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:33.980 Yeah. 00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:39.120 You can do that with other ones in the prompt, but it doesn't always behave. 00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:40.680 You say, let's plan this out. 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:40.940 It's okay. 00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:41.680 We planned it out. 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:42.640 Now I'm doing it like, no, no, no. 00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:44.440 I just told you to plan it out, right? 00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:52.700 The other thing, if you look at the UI on the client homepage, it actually has a price that updates as it's working. 00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.940 Like how much is this costing you? 00:07:54.940 --> 00:07:57.860 It goes zero cents, three cents, five cents. 00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:05.140 Not when it's done working, but like as it's working, the dollars are like click, click, click, click, click, which is really a lot of other tools. 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:06.920 It's very like, I have no idea what this costs. 00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:10.380 Oh, no, I'm out of credits or I spent a bunch of money, but this one you can just watch. 00:08:10.460 --> 00:08:10.800 So that's cool. 00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:13.400 Yeah, I like it a lot. 00:08:13.760 --> 00:08:21.240 It's got open source for sure, so complete transparency that they're not profiting on inference, universal model access. 00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:27.800 So if OpenAI or Anthropic come out with a brand new model, it'll show up right away because you're just passing through to their API, right? 00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:28.280 Yeah. 00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:37.320 And it says client-side architecture means your code never touches our servers, essential for security, mandatory for many enterprises, and ensures data sovereignty. 00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:40.919 I played with this a little bit in PyCharm, and it's quite nice. 00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:46.680 I think I will still be using cursor, but I'm keeping my eye on this because I think this is pretty neat. 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.040 Cool. 00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:47.400 Yeah. 00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:51.580 Anyway, believe it or not, AI has still not disappeared as a fad. 00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:53.900 Yeah. 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.640 It may still, but probably not. 00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:57.020 All right. 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.360 Over to you. 00:08:57.660 --> 00:08:57.880 Okay. 00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:02.100 I was just going to talk about uv a little bit. 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:03.200 Are you going to cheat? 00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:04.540 You're not going to cheat, are you? 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.080 Yeah. 00:09:05.260 --> 00:09:05.820 Yeah, I am. 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:12.740 This is thanks to Rodrigo at MathsPP, MathsPP. 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:13.560 I'm not sure. 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:17.880 Anyway, he's got a great blog about software and Python and stuff. 00:09:18.970 --> 00:09:24.180 So uv Cheat Sheet, I really kind of, I mean, uv at first was, oh, great. 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.740 Can you use it instead of like pip? 00:09:27.140 --> 00:09:29.700 And now it does a lot of stuff. 00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:30.920 So what all does it do? 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.480 It's a lot. 00:09:31.650 --> 00:09:36.040 Now, the documentation over at for uv is pretty good already. 00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:37.700 But I kind of like this. 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.340 So what does he's got? 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:47.040 He's got like just all of the commands that you probably want to remember around creating projects, like all the inets and how to do inet stuff. 00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:49.120 Like if you're going to do an app or a library. 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.920 And I kind of forgot that they added these app and lib flags. 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:54.860 That's pretty cool. 00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:55.900 I did too. 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.240 And I made a lib and I forgot and ran it in app mode. 00:09:59.280 --> 00:09:59.820 And I'm like, darn it. 00:10:00.040 --> 00:10:00.720 I messed it up. 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.040 But yeah, it's really great. 00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:13.080 And then project management dependencies, of course, being able to modify your pyproject.toml and stuff using UVAD and uv lock. 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:15.920 And I guess I didn't notice also there's a uv tree. 00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:16.520 That's neat. 00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:19.160 Didn't know that was there or forgot about it. 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:21.320 Lifecycle management. 00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:22.780 What does that mean? 00:10:23.180 --> 00:10:26.480 Things like build, publish, bumping the version. 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.520 And I haven't played with these either. 00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:30.580 All the different ways you can bump a project version. 00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:31.440 That's pretty cool. 00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:32.240 I'll have to play with those. 00:10:33.380 --> 00:10:40.620 things like managing tools like all the tools like uv tool run uv tool install these are these 00:10:40.760 --> 00:11:03.800 were uvx kind of isn't uvx and uv tool the same thing i think yeah no almost uvx will run a tool but then it's like ephemeral it doesn't last where uv tool you install it so you might say uv tool install, I don't know, pytest. And then you permanently have pytest as a thing that you can run. 00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:05.720 But if you just say uvx pytest, 00:11:05.900 --> 00:11:09.680 it'll download, run pytest, and then it'll kind of disappear from your system. 00:11:10.040 --> 00:11:11.280 You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.680 They're similar, but not exactly 00:11:13.690 --> 00:11:15.080 the same. Oh, here it is right here. 00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:19.460 uvx is an alias for uv tool run. There you go. Nice. 00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:23.400 Yeah, it's the uv tool run, but not uv tool install and then run the tool. 00:11:23.710 --> 00:11:25.440 Yeah, that's what it is. Working 00:11:25.530 --> 00:11:44.060 with scripts. UVNet for scripts. And I haven't done this. I guess initialize the script and run it, things like that. Neat. Even, oh, wow, I didn't know you could do this. You can add and remove dependencies within a script. Oh, that's pretty neat. Yeah. And I think it writes the little header, 00:11:44.550 --> 00:11:49.720 the PEP compliant header at the top for you. That's cool. Yeah, I totally, okay. I'm learning 00:11:49.750 --> 00:11:54.140 a lot. I thought it was just a cheat sheet for me, but I'm learning a lot. So this is great. 00:11:54.620 --> 00:12:06.520 And then, of course, if you control which Python versions are installed on your computer using uv, cheat sheet on that list, install, uninstall, things like that. 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:07.780 So nice. 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.520 I've been using, I didn't think I would. 00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:15.760 I really didn't think I'd be switching to something else to install Python. 00:12:15.880 --> 00:12:23.140 But yeah, I'm especially trying to keep up on new versions with 3.14 and stuff. 00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:24.940 Definitely using uv for that. 00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:31.700 And then a handful of old time stuff, like actually old timers, like uv, VNV, and UVPIP. 00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:33.000 That's where we started. 00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:35.320 And then I love it. 00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:37.220 UV format to run ruff update. 00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:40.040 This is one of the things that I always forget about. 00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:48.400 Well, I remember that it's there, but I forget to do sometimes is if I'm on a different machine I know it has uv, but I haven't updated it for a while. 00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:53.760 And I try something new, like installing a new version of Python, and it doesn't see it. 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.320 What's going on? 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.580 If things don't work, try a uv self-update and work. 00:12:58.820 --> 00:12:59.960 So good cheat sheet. 00:13:00.420 --> 00:13:02.180 Who said cheating will never get you anywhere? 00:13:02.640 --> 00:13:03.460 We learned stuff here. 00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:03.980 Yeah. 00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:05.560 We did. 00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:09.820 Well, speaking of sneaky things, I want to talk about Ducky. 00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:14.480 So Ducky is an open source, all-in-one desktop app built in Python. 00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:20.660 It's designed as the perfect companion for network engineers, students, tech enthusiasts, and others. 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.980 And it combines a bunch of essential networking tools for you. 00:13:24.380 --> 00:13:28.720 Okay, so I have a thing itself and then a bit of a stealth take on this, okay? 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.360 So it has a UI down here, and it does a bunch of different things. 00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:37.860 You can say, I would like to, it actually has a nice SSH client that you can use to connect to things. 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:43.320 It does Telnet, oh man, bringing back the mud days, serial communication, all different things. 00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:56.740 So if you look at some of the tools, it's got a terminal, kind of like we talked about, but also network queries, subnet calculators, port scanners, topology mappers, like how is my whole enterprise network put together? 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:02.460 And here's the sneaky bits, vulnerability scanner, password checker, hash calculator, and so on. 00:14:02.760 --> 00:14:05.880 So a lot of cool things you can do in this UI. 00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:07.580 It's Windows only. 00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:17.400 So I think that's turned about as fair play a little bit, Brian, because we talk a lot about Mac tools on here, and I'm going to talk about macOS specifically before the show is over. 00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:21.060 So we don't usually cover some Windows-only tooling, but here we are. 00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:21.580 Yeah. 00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:21.960 Yeah. 00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:23.620 So still pretty good. 00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:26.800 I think this is kind of the thing you might run in like a big company enterprise. 00:14:27.780 --> 00:14:33.440 You know, you want to understand your network topology or search vulnerabilities and things like that, or you just run it in a VM. 00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.500 Pretty neat. 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:35.680 Like I said, open source. 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:36.960 Yeah. 00:14:37.660 --> 00:14:41.300 So here's the sneaky, not the sneaky, the stealth bonus. 00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:43.720 This is a pretty cool looking desktop app. 00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:45.160 I can go over and download it. 00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:48.620 Let me see if I can zoom back a little bit to get to the releases. 00:14:49.260 --> 00:14:50.120 It's pretty new by the way. 00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:57.860 I can come over here and I can download this and presumably inside there's going to be a.exe that I can run or whatever, right? 00:14:58.220 --> 00:14:59.820 Oh no, it has to install it this way. 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.360 Interesting, it doesn't compile it. 00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:03.060 Oh, it does contain an.exe. 00:15:03.330 --> 00:15:09.940 Yeah, okay, so it does contain.exe or you can install, run it as an entry point script thing in the pipeproject.toml. 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:12.000 Anyway, so here's part of the stealth thing. 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:18.060 Ducky.exe application, keep that in mind, as we compare it against an all-in-one desktop app built in Python. 00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:25.080 You don't see too many fully compiled, built, executable desktop apps of any variety these days in Python. 00:15:25.140 --> 00:15:27.300 I know there are some, but not too many, so this is cool. 00:15:27.520 --> 00:15:27.820 Yeah. 00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:32.420 Actually, I don't even remember the last desktop app I installed at all. 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:35.940 We live in a weird world. 00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:37.720 We do, yeah. 00:15:39.640 --> 00:15:39.980 Yeah. 00:15:40.300 --> 00:15:41.040 Anyway, that's it. 00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:41.980 That's a Ducky. 00:15:42.020 --> 00:15:46.980 I think it's super new, not super popular, but I think a little shining light on something cool. 00:15:47.260 --> 00:15:47.480 Yeah. 00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:47.900 Nice. 00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:48.400 Cool. 00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.020 All right. 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.260 Is that it for our things? 00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.400 Over to the extras. 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:54.860 I just have. 00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:55.120 What do you got? 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:01.820 Normally on extras, we will share something extra that I want to point out and share with people. 00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:05.900 But this time, I guess I'll share one article, but mostly it's a question. 00:16:06.380 --> 00:16:08.780 I'm curious what everyone is using for. 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:17.260 So I've got I've got a my blog is static site Hugo and I'm currently on Netlify, but I'm like, should I be on Netlify? 00:16:17.640 --> 00:16:20.480 And I I ran across this article from Will Vincent. 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.060 This is moving from Netlify to Cloudflare pages. 00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:28.740 And but that was published in February of last year of 2024. 00:16:29.380 --> 00:16:36.240 So curious if if it's still valid and that totally doesn't look like well, from what I remember well looking like. 00:16:36.260 --> 00:16:37.680 But it's a cool picture anyway. 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:44.000 Anyway, so he's got an article on converting, and so I might consider Cloudflare. 00:16:44.400 --> 00:16:48.780 But why I'm bringing this up is because Netlify changed their plans a little bit recently. 00:16:49.380 --> 00:16:54.920 And right now, now if you've already there, you're grandfathered in to whatever you had before. 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.020 But if you want to change around, they're doing this credit thing. 00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:08.240 So the free plan, like if I was going to recommend somebody new to blogging, any of these would probably be fine because there's no traffic yet. 00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:17.860 But as traffic grows, and traffic grows weird now because of AI bots and everything, even if there's not that many people reading your site, there might be a ton of bots reading it. 00:17:18.850 --> 00:17:23.640 So that 300 credits turns into like 30 gigabytes per month, 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.439 which you can hit that not too hard. 00:17:28.199 --> 00:17:30.920 If you have a big hero image or something like that. 00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:33.700 Yeah, probably do the images down. 00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:36.240 But stuff gets pulled a lot. 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.300 Anyway, so there's that on Netlify. 00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:43.620 And if you, to go up, it's, you know, nine bucks or 20 bucks. 00:17:43.800 --> 00:17:46.100 None of this is expensive, but it adds up over the year. 00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:47.660 So Netlify's here. 00:17:48.040 --> 00:17:54.480 I did look up, I knew people were, some people were using GitHub Pages, but GitHub Pages has a usage limit as well. 00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.800 And I didn't realize this. 00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:58.180 It says it's not intended or allowed to be used as a free web hosting service to run your online business e-commerce site or other website that's primarily directed at either facility and commercial transactions blah blah blah anyway i've got ads on my site so i was like i don't think it would be bad i think that'd be sort of not in line with the terms but also there's 100 gigabyte um soft bandwidth so um that doesn't seem right cloud cloud flagit cloud flare pages um looks like they don't have a band i don't know how they don't but they don't have an a bandwidth limit on the free plan uh which is interesting um and unlimited sites so i might check that out also um also not just because of the cost um even 20 bucks isn't something terrible but the i'm not thrilled with netlify's uh analytics that they present so um and i was just curious if anybody has any other ideas for for what um what you're hosting your static sites on let me know um but you've got 00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:53.280 sites but i'm assuming you're self-hosting those yeah exactly i they were on netlify for a while and i know i had monitoring for all my different sites for a downtime and i started i think i said this before but i noticed that they started having like weird one minute downtimes i'm like that's weird how can a static site reasonably have downtime but no it was quite a bit and so i'm like well how much work would it be to just put it on the same infrastructure that runs python bytes and all the rest right turns out not so much like if you can just git clone your hugo site somewhere and you point nginx at it with the right configuration you now have a it's exactly the same as if it's hosted at one of these places and then update you just run a remote ssh get pull command and then boom you got it's instantly updated so if people want to know how to host hugo or whatever in static sites shoot me a message i'm happy to help i don't necessarily recommend it to everyone because it's you're now, you have a server you got to deal with, right? 00:19:53.470 --> 00:20:00.720 But if you already have a server and already have Nginx doing all the stuff, like it's trivial to just add a config to point at a folder. 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.260 Yeah. 00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:08.140 Yes, that's kind of why I was sort of leaning towards like, you know, what's a hosted thing that's cheap, 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.260 either free or cheap. 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:16.600 And I hadn't, before I ran across Will's article, I hadn't heard of Cloudflare late. 00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.740 I can't say that. 00:20:18.260 --> 00:20:19.140 Cloudflare pages. 00:20:19.860 --> 00:20:20.280 I hadn't either. 00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:23.560 But I wonder if there's others out there that I'm not even noticing. 00:20:23.830 --> 00:20:24.800 So yeah, let me know. 00:20:24.890 --> 00:20:25.100 Very cool. 00:20:25.730 --> 00:20:25.940 Love it. 00:20:26.260 --> 00:20:26.620 All right. 00:20:27.050 --> 00:20:28.440 I have a few extras. 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.180 Okay. 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.980 Of which Ducky is not one. 00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:33.180 So I apologize. 00:20:33.270 --> 00:20:34.880 I can't remember the guy who sent this in. 00:20:35.020 --> 00:20:42.200 But Python Brazil has sort of reached out and said, hey, we could use a little help with funding. 00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:46.380 The PSF had a bunch of funding and grants for different things. 00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:52.660 And there was like a huge spike in how many grants were requested, how many people asked for funding. 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:58.180 And it burned through the available funds quicker than expected, I think is the short version. 00:20:58.380 --> 00:20:59.660 There's been a bunch written about it. 00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:01.440 And that's probably roughly right. 00:21:02.040 --> 00:21:03.820 Anyway, they said, hey, we could use some help. 00:21:03.860 --> 00:21:05.500 We don't have as much funding as we expected. 00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:13.760 So give us a shout out, if you don't mind, about Python Brazil coming on the 21st to 27th, I believe, in October. 00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:26.440 And if you go to check out and you actually pull up the buy me a ticket, like check out pop up or modal dialogue, whatever it is in there, there's a way to donate a ticket for a student to attend. 00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:30.740 So you can just go there and say, I would like to basically fund a student's attendance. 00:21:31.260 --> 00:21:32.420 So anyway, that's kind of cool. 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:32.980 Check that out. 00:21:33.260 --> 00:21:35.280 Hopefully the conference goes well for them. 00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:41.940 Next up, Brian, to atone for my sins, I've mentioned a Windows only application, I will speak of macOS. 00:21:43.100 --> 00:21:45.000 So I don't know. 00:21:45.060 --> 00:21:50.600 Have you installed macOS Tahoe or iOS 26, one of these new shiny liquid glass things? 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.200 They're doing it on the desktop also? 00:21:53.520 --> 00:21:54.180 No, I have not. 00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:59.700 My daughter has updated her phone and has been cursing it since she's updated. 00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:01.640 Funny. 00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:03.200 Yeah, so I updated my phone. 00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:13.400 I updated my work computers, but not my streaming computer because the UI stuff with screen recording and all that kind of stuff. 00:22:13.670 --> 00:22:15.120 It can get a little weird. 00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:19.540 So I decided this, the one that you and I are talking on right now is going to stay stable for a little while. 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.740 But the other ones I upgraded, I think it's delightful. 00:22:22.540 --> 00:22:26.160 I know a lot of people like hate change and they're like, it's changed and I don't like it. 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.680 And that may be valid or not valid or whatever, but I think it's great. 00:22:30.860 --> 00:22:31.440 I've been enjoying it. 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.140 So the clear isn't bothering you anymore yet? 00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:36.680 No, nothing is unreadable. 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.100 I don't have it like the full tinted mode. 00:22:39.190 --> 00:22:41.320 I just took the default because it still has color. 00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:46.180 I hate that they drew the color out of it like a vampire sucked the joy out of it or whatever. 00:22:46.560 --> 00:22:49.980 So can you get colors back in your icons if you could get those back? 00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:52.200 They don't even change by default. 00:22:52.290 --> 00:22:55.840 You have to go and select the super clear view if you want that. 00:22:55.970 --> 00:22:56.420 Oh, okay. 00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:58.360 It looks almost exactly the same. 00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:00.600 It's just a little more transparent. 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:05.100 Like the menu bar across the top, the background is transparent. 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.640 But depending on what your background looks like, it's either fine or not fine. 00:23:08.690 --> 00:23:09.040 I don't know. 00:23:09.070 --> 00:23:10.140 But for mine, it's fine. 00:23:10.430 --> 00:23:11.380 So, yeah, it's okay. 00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:15.100 anyway so i give a i know a lot of people are saying they hate it and i'm like i actually kind 00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:37.580 of i like it i don't mind at all that's great i'm glad that you're happy with your computer thanks i mean there's there's things that i would like to have transparent like for instance um uh if i'm actually usually using a computer or phone not while i'm moving so i don't really need to see what's behind it uh if we could have books be transparent then i could walk around and read it 00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:38.060 Just read. 00:23:38.350 --> 00:23:38.780 That would be cool. 00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:43.740 I remember when the iPhone first came out, there was an app that was basically a messaging app. 00:23:43.790 --> 00:23:45.360 It wasn't iMessage. 00:23:45.780 --> 00:23:47.400 It was some other kind of messaging app. 00:23:47.780 --> 00:23:53.100 But literally the background was the camera view out the front, the back, what is it? 00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:55.040 The camera that looks away from you. 00:23:55.090 --> 00:23:59.040 And so you could hold it and like, you could read your messages and it would show you what you're walking towards. 00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:00.260 Like how messed up is that? 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.020 Well, I think that's great. 00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:11.080 I mean, like actually, if you could do like a panorama side view too, because I'm always weirded out with people crossing a crosswalk while, 00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:13.260 while looking at their phone. And I'm like, 00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:17.180 there's cars and bikes and stuff. You're going to get hit, man. But I know. 00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:18.820 Yeah. Whatever. Kids these days. 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.120 Speaking of a software thing. Also, I'm a hundred percent back to Vivaldi. 00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:27.660 I'm not using Zen anymore. I just, I'm embracing the Vivaldi lifestyle. 00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.520 Really? 00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:32.540 Cause this surprises me because Vivaldi has taken a stand against AI. 00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:35.560 So I don't need my browser to do AI. 00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:39.780 I think I actually, you know, you're going to take us down a red hole. 00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:43.400 I hate the AI that is in almost every application. 00:24:43.860 --> 00:24:46.920 You know, my email client has a rewrite this email with AI. 00:24:47.580 --> 00:24:51.140 Gmail has a, would you like to like shorten this or tighten it with AI? 00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.040 And I almost always hate what it does. 00:24:53.060 --> 00:24:55.720 It almost always destroys the formatting or something. 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:57.500 I'm like, Oh my, what is this? 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:05.700 So I don't, I'm not a huge proponent of everything having AI in it, but going like, I'm going to go to ChatGPT or I'm going to go to, I'm going to go to, I'm 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.360 some AI coding thing, and now I'm using it as a choice. 00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:14.400 That is good, but just having it jammed in really poor implementations everywhere, don't love it. 00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:17.780 Yeah, so they did make a big stand against AI, which is interesting. 00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:18.280 Yeah. 00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:22.220 Okay, I have one more thing left, a quick follow-up here. 00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:25.040 The one thing that didn't work was Alt-Tab. 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.220 Have I given a shout-out to Alt-Tab, Brian? 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:28.360 Alt-Tab is awesome. 00:25:28.760 --> 00:25:36.940 One of the things that really is a bummer about macOS is you can Command-Tab instead of Alt-Tab, which seems like the same thing, but no, it's not. 00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:45.600 Because if you have, let's say, three browser windows or three editors, and you want to go between editor window one and editor window three, no. 00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:48.060 There's not really a hotkey for that, right? 00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:55.220 Other than like switch to the app and then do like expose all windows and then use your mouse to, you know, it's like really janky. 00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:58.940 So alt tab cycles through windows, not apps, which is really nice. 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:04.280 So like if I'm already in Vivaldi and we got three windows up, you can cycle through the... 00:26:04.300 --> 00:26:10.820 Yeah, alt tab, you just map it to alt tab, and then alt tab will cycle between the different Vivaldi windows and all the other windows. 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:12.660 It's like Windows style, not Mac style. 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:14.440 And it's open source and free. 00:26:14.520 --> 00:26:14.840 It's pretty nice. 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.360 Okay. 00:26:15.580 --> 00:26:19.320 Okay, before we hit our joke, I just want to, why will this not go? 00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:19.720 There we go. 00:26:20.800 --> 00:26:24.360 James C on the audience asks, what about GitHub Pages as an option for your static site? 00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:26.940 You pointed out that there's some limitations you don't like, right? 00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:29.100 I sort of flew by it, and I already did. 00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:31.640 I can't go to my screen because I already deleted it. 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.520 But the gist of it is I'm actually doing decent traffic, so I'm already hit. 00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:39.560 I'm close to the 100 gigabyte. 00:26:40.540 --> 00:26:43.280 And they said that GitHub page is as close to 100. 00:26:43.580 --> 00:26:45.740 They have a soft 100 gigabyte limit. 00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:49.260 And I've already taken all the big stuff off. 00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.220 It's just a lot of, I think it's a lot of AI bots. 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.000 And I decided to not turn that off. 00:26:55.540 --> 00:27:06.860 But the other thing is it says they really don't want it to be for free web hosting for anything commercial or even like pseudo related to commercial. 00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:12.760 And so I, in the spirit of that, I don't want, I'm not afraid of getting in trouble. 00:27:12.870 --> 00:27:15.640 I just don't think it's right for me to take advantage of it. 00:27:15.690 --> 00:27:24.260 If I'm promoting my courses, promoting my book and stuff and on there, it just doesn't seem like in the spirit of what Gahead Pages was for. 00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:25.560 So there's that. 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:38.080 However, you're right that when I started the story of recommending other people start a blog, totally GitHub Pages is going to be one of those because you're just writing a blog like in college or something. 00:27:38.520 --> 00:27:39.700 Probably not a commercial entity. 00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:42.040 And that's totally valid. 00:27:42.840 --> 00:27:46.920 Just remember the admonishment we gave a few weeks ago. 00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:48.240 Use your own domain. 00:27:49.140 --> 00:27:53.220 If you want to move, you need to be able to move by remapping your DNS. 00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:57.220 If you're at, you know, Michael at githubpages.com or whatever, right? 00:27:57.300 --> 00:28:00.000 Or github.io, like you're stuck forever. 00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:00.740 Yeah. 00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:01.880 But then you'll, yes. 00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:06.580 And you'll get to the joy of now you have to get to learn how DNS settings. 00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:08.920 But, you know, you shouldn't anyway. 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.420 You'll figure it out. 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:11.040 Yeah. 00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:14.520 By the way, my self-hosting comes with free four terabytes of traffic. 00:28:15.020 --> 00:28:20.080 And like if you're a DigitalOcean or Hetzner, usually even the cheapest server comes with a terabyte of free traffic. 00:28:20.260 --> 00:28:21.160 I think the $4 version. 00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:22.440 Well, maybe. 00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:25.260 Maybe I'll set up a $4 Hetzner box or something. 00:28:25.750 --> 00:28:26.300 Yeah, exactly. 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:26.700 You could. 00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.960 I'm happy to help if you want. 00:28:28.080 --> 00:28:28.280 All right. 00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.940 Are you ready for a joke to wrap this thing up? 00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:31.320 Okay. 00:28:31.910 --> 00:28:33.460 So I'm going to recommend a YouTube video. 00:28:33.560 --> 00:28:38.640 I know a lot of times I tell straight jokes, but I feel like this one is catching the zeitgeist a little bit. 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.060 I think with a certain group of people, this is really going to resonate. 00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:44.540 Are you looking for a job? 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:46.840 Have you looked for a job five years ago? 00:28:47.040 --> 00:28:50.920 And then now, well, check out Kai Lintitz. 00:28:52.040 --> 00:28:54.560 hiring in 2025 versus 2021. 00:28:54.860 --> 00:28:56.740 This is the programmers are human guy. 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:10.420 The interview with the Emacs expert guy, the job at senior JavaScript developer, and perhaps his best video is the senior engineer tries AI coding. 00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:12.400 But this is really, really funny. 00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:20.240 It's sort of like contrast, like the position that we all used to be in, whereas you could just dictate whatever terms you want in 2021. 00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:25.380 people are desperate to hire anyone, you know, and then what it's like now. 00:29:27.540 --> 00:29:32.500 They make the guy create like a foundational LLM model blindfolded. 00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:35.060 But here, I'll give you some of the quotes. 00:29:35.080 --> 00:29:36.540 In 2021, these are some of the quotes. 00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:39.860 Do you have an in-house kombucha sommelier? 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:43.760 What country did he study in? 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.260 Oh, yes, we actually have two. 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.060 And then it's like, let's talk about, this is the guy being hired, right? 00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:52.080 Let's talk about pets. 00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:53.460 Are you donkey friendly? 00:29:53.620 --> 00:29:55.380 And the guy starts to laugh like, oh yeah, whatever. 00:29:55.540 --> 00:29:56.980 He's like, oh no, you think this is a joke? 00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:59.220 He's like, oh, well, we can work on donkeys. 00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.720 Yeah, it's okay. 00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:06.380 And then 2025 is like round eight of seven for the interviews, right? 00:30:07.620 --> 00:30:15.340 And he's like, the guy starts screaming at the guy being interviewed, out of 12,000 resumes, the AI picked yours, prove that you're worthy. 00:30:17.820 --> 00:30:20.560 you solve it with the binary tree, build me a foundational model. 00:30:20.690 --> 00:30:23.060 And then eventually he asked about healthcare. He goes, healthcare, 00:30:23.340 --> 00:30:27.700 what do you want to live forever? So good. Oh, that's bad. Yeah. 00:30:28.130 --> 00:30:31.760 So if you want to just live, live in the moment a little bit, I think, 00:30:32.010 --> 00:30:37.580 here we go. So yeah, in, in 20, so pre 2019, I guess. 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:57.460 So pre pandemic are we, it's been since there's not enough people always in the office to, to support it now but before the pandemic we had uh two flavors of kombucha on tap uh chilled um it was like a like a mini keg thing but it's kombucha it was it was a thing um incredible 00:30:58.080 --> 00:31:04.660 and uh where did your sommelier study no we just like it's portland there's like it's just 00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:06.640 I know, I know, I know. 00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:12.520 The one, this is a related AI in 2025. 00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:17.620 My daughter, she's a junior in high school. 00:31:17.790 --> 00:31:22.840 And she had to, for one of her classes, she had to interview me, interview one of her parents. 00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.820 So she interviewed me. 00:31:24.750 --> 00:31:26.980 And she was starting to type it in on her phone. 00:31:27.050 --> 00:31:28.460 And I'm like, don't do that. 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.900 Just email me the questions. 00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:31.600 So she emailed me the questions. 00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:37.640 And I just sat there and talked with her about what I was saying, but I typed it back because I type way faster than she does. 00:31:37.970 --> 00:31:43.000 Although it's bizarre that she can type with her thumbs faster than she can or on a keyboard. 00:31:43.300 --> 00:31:46.140 But yeah, send it back, turned it in. 00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:57.960 But she had to convince her teacher that it was OK that she pasted it in because apparently there were so many kids that actually didn't want to actually interview their parents that they just had chat. 00:31:58.020 --> 00:32:08.020 They like told ChatGPT what their parents were like and had the, the, or whatever the AI system, AI bots, they interviewed a bot instead of their parents. 00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:13.400 And, and so the teacher turned off paste in the, in the homework assignment. 00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:15.660 So they can't, you can't paste in the answer anymore. 00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:17.780 Oh, how bad. 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:31.300 I mean, I do not envy the education world, educational world with regard to AI, because, you know, it's so easy to say, And here, let me just paste the homework question and requirements in. 00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:31.800 I'll do that. 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.700 You know, it's crazy. 00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:34.980 But this was like, there's no wrong answer. 00:32:35.080 --> 00:32:39.220 It was like, it was easier, just easier than talking to your family. 00:32:40.300 --> 00:32:40.800 But yeah. 00:32:41.280 --> 00:32:41.380 Yeah. 00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:41.840 That's crazy. 00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:44.020 Anyway. 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.500 All right. 00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:45.300 Yeah, that's cool. 00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:47.200 Well, good one again. 00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:47.780 Thanks. 00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:50.340 I'll have to watch that hiring video. 00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.340 Oh, it's really good. 00:32:51.620 --> 00:32:52.060 It's really good. 00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:52.720 People check it out. 00:32:52.820 --> 00:32:53.560 I'll put it in the show notes. 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:54.180 Bye, everyone.
