Previously, I wrote about using mise as a replacement for Pyenv and NVM. In this post, I will document how I use it to manage Open edX Tutor versions for the different projects I work on.

I recently got a new laptop with the Ultra 7 Intel processor. My older one is an i5 8th generation. So, I as very surprised when a new terminal was usable after a visible delay. It was almost as slow as the old laptop.

I recently switched from my Keychron K2 to a Keychron K15 Pro mechanical keyboard. It started with @[email protected] asking for recommendations for a new mechanical keyboard and me looking up the Keychron website, and it quickly escalated from there.

If Gitea is running as a docker container, then there is a SSH Shim script at “/usr/local/bin/gitea” that contains the local IP address of the machine, which might be different from the 127.0.0.1 that’s provided in the documentation.

I have run into this issue multiple times with Nomad. For some reason, when jobs are redeployed/restarted, the service registration isn’t removed. This causes my Traefik reverse proxy to send requests to a non-existing allocation in Nomad.

The Python Polars documenation on testing provides only a couple of pointers and it offloads the core part to the Hypothesis library. Here I want to documnent a more simpler approach for deterministic tests using just Pytest and pytest.mark.parametrize.

Change the Policy of the role applied to the user. Since I have a single person instance, I just needed to update the default Policy Template from the Control Panel

Getting Pyenv and Pyright to play nice in python-mode on Doom Emacs requires sticking to a few rules. I discovered these after multiple attempts of trial and error. All the following things might not be needed. But I got things to work only when I set all of these up.

Let’s say you set up Doom Emacs from scratch for the first time, and you followed the instructions correctly and install the all-the-icons fonts when prompted, saw the icons properly displayed in the dashboard (launch window), but once you open a file, the status line starts showing random characters, instead of icons.

Everyday I work on a megalith of a software called Open edX as a part of my work. It is built on top of Django. But here is the thing, it is very big piece of software and most of time I am tweaking something that is one among the many layers of abstraction and business logic.
