An unofficial guide to block printing - Austin Kleon
If you’re brand new to block printing, Speedball makes a really handy beginner’s kit that includes:
- a block to carve (these Speedy Cut blocks are soft and easy)
- a lino handle with cutters to carve with
- ink (water soluble cleans up easy)
- a soft rubber brayer (I really like little ones for detail work)
I also recommend:
- tracing paper
- a soft, dark pencil
- a baren (again, I prefer a little felt one for detail work)
- some cheap paper to experiment — I particularly love to print on pages from the newspaper and old books that are falling apart

Stop Building AI Tools Backwards | Hazel Weakly
My favorite (evidence backed) theory on how humans learn is Retrieval Practice.
https://www.learningscientists.org/blog/2024/3/7/how-does-retrieval-improve-new-learning
Humans don’t really learn when we download info into our brain, we learn when we expend effort to pull that info out. This has some big implications for designing collaborative tooling!
The “thing” that we learn most effectively is not knowledge as we typically think of it, it’s process. This should be intuitive, if we put into a bit of a more natural context. Imaging learning baking for a moment: Do you teach someone to bake a cake by spitting out a fact sheet of ingredients and having them memorize it? Or do you teach them the process?
Things You Didn't Know About GNU Readline
If you feel, not unreasonably, that both Vim and Emacs’ keyboard command systems are bizarre and arcane, you can customize Readline’s key bindings and make them whatever you like. This is not hard to do. Readline reads a ~/.inputrc file on startup that can be used to configure various options and key bindings. One thing I’ve done is reconfigured Ctrl-K. Normally it deletes from the cursor to the end of the line, but I rarely do that. So I’ve instead bound it so that pressing Ctrl-K deletes the whole line, regardless of where the cursor is. I’ve done that by adding the following to ~/.inputrc:
Fine Tuning Python WSGI and ASGI applications for Flask, Django, and FastAPI
Firstly covering the simpler of the two options, the ASGI/WSGI web server that goes between your Python code in the web framework and the users who have a web browser:
Gunicorn is the most popular WSGI server
Uvicorn is an ASGI server. It is both a standalone server as well as a plugin for Gunicorn

The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival | Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Directed by Julie Rubio (USA, 2024, 96 min.). Massachusetts premiere.
With her distinctive high-gloss sensual nudes and cooly elegant portraits of high society in the Jazz Age, Polish Jewish artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco style and the glamour and transgressive vitality of post WW1 Paris. After stunning the art world in the 1920s with her showstopping work, which mixed cubist and neoclassicist styles, Lempicka fled to the United States in 1940 amidst the rise of fascism in Europe.

Full Set of Replacement Keys - https://amzn.to/3KbTCSH
We have a m2 Macbook air 13'' that had some sticky after spill damage from the previous owner, probably some soda or coffee. I don't like crunchy keys that stick down and don't come back up properly so we decided to remove the keys that were damaged, clean them, then reassemble. It was only a few key but we used this as an opportunity to show how to take off all of the types of keys on the keyboard it well worth the repair. It will work for all of m2 macbook airs and macbook pros 13 or 14 inch and 2020 macbook airs with intel (i3, i5) and m1 macbook pro as well as the 2020 macbook pros with intel (i5, i7) with the same keyboard switch design, and it will work similarly with other keyboards you may have to do more digging to how the keys attach to the switch. Cleaning your m2 macbook air keyboard or single keys after a spill could save you the discomfort of crunchy keys and could also save you from having to get a new computer. If you are looking for how to replace apple M12 MacBook Air Keys, this video is for you.
