How to make your RSS feed pretty Life is too short for ugly XML. cassidoo.co I love me some styled rss, it’s how the OG internet was made to be. You choose what you want to read and when. There is no middleman aggregator inflating the reach of things they want you to see or suffocating things against them. It’s just you and your internet friends. Cassidy’s Styled rss # Cassidy has a quite lovely and easy to read rss feed, with an open source style sheet, that is part of her open source blog template for astro blahg, love that name by the way! Dave Rupert’s Feed # I first learned of styled rss feeds from shoptalkshow.com, specifically from Dave Rupert. Dave uses a pretty bog standard styled rss feed with pretty-feed-v3. This repo is probably the best place to start if you are looking to style your rss feed. https://github.com/genmon/aboutfeeds/blob/main/tools/pretty-feed-v3.xsl My RSS Feed # My feed comes from my static site generator markata, a plugins all the way down static site generator written in python, made for customizing, lacking just about any and all docs so you are on your own.

How To Fix An Office Chair Popping Noise? With Root Causes If you hear a popping noise from under your office chair when you move around or when you spin it, it’s time to repair your office chair. Read more. ToErgonomics · toergonomics.com I tried this fix on my secretlabs chair, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Mine ended up being an issue in the tilt mechanism and not the hydraulic piston. I greased the crap out of it, it can only help the longevity. I did notice that the two washers on either side of my bearing were quite worn in.
Reddit reddit.com This is definitely happening to my secretlabs chair. I did the fix this morning, its still not perfect, but it’s better now than it has been in a long time. Mine use to be so bad that it would pop and creak every time I sat down or moved the smallest bit. It’s now quiet through the mid range of its motion with the occasional pop when I sit down.

This is a really amazing documentary of argocd. I got into k8s pretty late in the game. Which is pretty typical for me. As I went to use k8s for the first time i was using workflows, then cd. both of these tools had a level of polish that made them seem like they had been there forever and not quite as young as they actually are. I thought it was interesting how they focused on how the name must be two syllables or less, start with a or b, logo needs to be cutesy funny and recognizable seemed interesting, but puts them at the top of lists and makes them look like they’ve been there forever.

GitHub · github.com SQLModel models ship with an, and that you can use to compare to None without pesky linters complaining. This comment summed it up quite well. I believe this is concerned entirely with SQLAlchemy, not with SQLModel, and has to do with the required semantics to construct a BinaryExpression object. Hero.age == None evaluates to a BinaryExpression object which is eventually used to construct the SQL query that the SQLAlchemy engine issues to your DBMS. Hero.age is None evaluates to False immediately, and not a BinaryExpression, which short-circuits the query no matter the value of age in a row. From a cursory search, it does not seem that the is operator can be overridden in Python. This could help explain why the only possibility is by using the == operator, which can be overridden. so rather than using we can use which checks for itentity not equality.
