"The Model.save() method now tries to directly UPDATE the database if the instance has a primary key value."Django 1.6 is a big improvement!

I find that I'm choosing AI tools based on the quality of the harness rather than the model. For example, I'm using Claude Code Web because its model of remote VMs is extremely convenient. I'm using Perplexity because it's tuned really well for web searches.

Excellent series on Self, both the programming model and the tool chain. I love how opening an inspector on a value (e.g. nil) then shows a link to all occurrences of the value in other open inspectors!

I bring you a message about a language that has been at the birth of many others, but almost no one knows it. A rumor of a graphical environment offering options like no other, but almost no one using it. I also bring information about a virtual machine supporting reflection almost to infinity, reaching almost half of the operating power of C in numerical calculations in its time, yet today forgotten.

I'm experimenting with jj this weekend. It seems pretty nice so far, but the mental model is pretty different from git. For example, there's no `checkout` command. You do `jj new ABC` to switch to a commit, which creates a new empty commit on top of ABC.
