Anyone been subject to a password rotation scheme where they've genuinely changed their password every X months over the course of multiple years, without using a password manager?
What's that like?
Do you struggle to code after a meeting? In the morning? Do you struggle to pay attention to a meeting after a deep work?
We know that context switching is costly but we rarely talk about how we can be more interruptable.
Here's a simple interruptible workflow that you can try:
@hynek sorry to not be more helpful, but we're using this (otel python, grpc to hny, with head-based sampling though) and have not observed this kind of issue at all.
I’m close to giving up, but: has anyone managed to reliably submit data to Honeycomb with the Python OpenTelemetry client?
It’s randomly dropping spans for me. Sometimes even the top span.
Not using any magic; just start_as_current_span. Sampling if off. Debug logs on & empty.
The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.
TIL about `pdb.runcall(lambda: my_func(args))`. Way more convenient than `pdb.set_trace(); debug my_func(args)` which I used previously. Because now it's just the normal debugger, and not a 2nd-level nested one (where readline often doesn't work etc.)
OK, we've got a tricky UX problem in datetime.isoformat and I could use typical users' intuitive thoughts here. If you are a Python programmer, can you take this short survey? Please don't do any research before filling it out!

RTs appreciated!
"Did you finish shaving the yak?"
"Well, I'm writing a script to git bisect crawl for changes to see when source files were removed from the project but not deleted from the repo to get more context to create some cleanup PRs"
"So....no?"
@EsmeWeatherwax8 Stoneskin by KB Spangler. A coming-of-age story featuring a sentient galaxy-wide "the force" that performs teleportation. Liking it so far, the characters have such heart.
@mengwong Agreed, this is such a common action it should be keyboard accessible. I've bookmarked this applescript wizardry github.com/NateEag/dotfil… but haven't tried it yet.
Mac OS needs a function key bound to "dismiss all notifications"
the way the X button dynamically appears at the top left of the notification is the worst violation of Fitts's Law I have ever seen, makes notifications way more cognitively taxing than they ought to be.
