Basically the same as Python’s zipapps which have some niche use cases.

Before zipapp came out I built superzippy to do it. Needed to distribute some python tooling to users in a university where everyone was running Linux in lab computers. Worked perfectly for it.

Thank you! It’s the Solarized color scheme which is definitely a bit low-contrast. I probably don’t notice it only because I’ve been using the color scheme across apps for so long.

I do wish monospace designs were at least a _little_ trendier. My blog uses one, but honestly I feel like I should change it up since I'm looking for roles right now and I worry it doesn't _delight_ like modern designs right now.

There's a great Computerphile video from 2015 that introduced me to the idea of AI safety awhile ago. It seems like some good context to this article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcdVC4e6EV4

Yes. I run a small website and a friend of mine has agreed to take it over if I die. I've shared the passwords of the services that the website is hosted on with them via a package manager.

I do not have anything similar for my bank accounts or personal subscriptions.

This article asserts SOLID and MVC is good with basically no justification. It also doesn’t show how non-hooks code would be better.

Thought I was about to learn about a new utility for a moment.

Seems to be going after the same problems that https://shmeppy.com does. The specific choices are different though (like drawing is much different).
