Python errors as values: Comparing useful patterns from Go and Rust
A thrown error interrupts the control flow, propagating down the call stack until it’s caught. If it isn’t caught then the program cashes. A big problem with this approach is a lack of clarity on where an error might occur.
Sometimes Litestream can be overkill for projects with a small database that do not have high durability requirements. In these cases, it may be more appropriate to simply back up your database daily or hourly. This approach can also be used in conjunction with Litestream as a fallback. You can never have too many backups!

HUG CSS, how I approach CSS architecture
- Classless HTML for the core styles.
- Utility classes to nudge and tweak elements when needed.
- Group classes to simplify styling collections of elements that may have more complex needs.
I’ve been doing something very similar recently and like it more than using Tailwind CSS.
HTML Web Components: An Example
Web components give you an approach of augmentation, where you can provide basic functionality and then progressively enhance the experience depending on the end user’s capabilities.
ZAPit is a new feature in 2.14.0 which performs a quick ‘reconnaissance’ scan of the URL specified. It currently only runs from the command line.
An Interactive Guide to CSS Grid
Great tutorial. Just started using grid on a new project recently and works great for the general layout of pages. You can still use flex box for some situations where it makes sense.
Another great grid guide.

GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place.
Great idea to name aliases starting with , making them super easy to find with tab completion.
Implementing Reactivity from scratch
Reactivity is at the heart of many web interfaces. It makes programming robust and interactive web apps much, much easier. Although most frameworks have reactivity as a built in feature, there will always be a point when you need reactivity in plain JavaScript. So, here I will show you how to implement reactivity in JavaScript.
Web Components Eliminate JavaScript Framework Lock-in
web components can dramatically loosen the coupling of JavaScript frameworks.

Modern Django admin theme for seamless interface development
You’re (probably) using connectedCallback wrong
In general, work should be deferred to connectedCallback as much as possible—especially work involving fetching resources or rendering. However, note that connectedCallback can be called more than once, so any initialization work that is truly one-time will need a guard to prevent it from running twice.
In general, the constructor should be used to set up initial state and default values, and to set up event listeners and possibly a shadow root.
* Code that only needs to run once should be put in the `constructor`. * Code that needs to be run every time the component is added/removed from the DOM should be put in `connectedCallback` and `disconnectedCallback`.
Greenmask is an open-source util written on go that provides features for logical backup dumping, obfuscation and restoration. Brings wide functionality for backing up, anonymization and masking. It is written fully in pure go with ported required PostgreSQL library.

Customize the Django admin to differentiate environments
If you have a
ENVIRONMENTcontext variable available (as we do) you could add the following template asadmin/base.htmlto your project, giving you a red color scheme for the production environment (to discourage people from updating content) and a nice scheme for thepreproductionenvironment which clearly deviates from the standard color scheme used everywhere else…
