I wrote a little Rust program that shows how font with specific OpenType features will look. Helps to decide if I should switch my terminal to another font or not. github.com/mirekdlugosz... Longer story at my blog: mirekdlugosz.com/blog/2025/cu... #programming #neovim #VSCode #shell #Linux #rust

Simultaneously embarrassing and flattering to have my work called out on a podcast, but I *do* love making just enough tooling to answer the questions I have. qahiccupps.blogspot.com/2025/02/love...

It looks like I'm officially looking for new job opportunities. If you're in need of an experienced senior developer, with an equal amount test experience), let me know! I didn't have this on today's bingo card... 😵‍💫

A fellow engineer was uncertain how they should spend their limited time - should they test the new thing and work on automation later, possibly after the release? My answer is on the blog: mirekdlugosz.com/blog/2025/te... #Testing #Automation #automatedtesting #blog #softwaredevelopment

I’ve recently been exploring the differences, between the role of a Quality Engineer, and other roles in Software Quality. In this post I will discuss a few key points that have mattered to me, and setting my context, in different companies and teams. www.dowen.me.uk/posts/contex...

Now that poetry supports PEP-621, I spent couple of hours updating all my projects to be compatible. In case of Pelican plugins, that also meant aligning to current community tooling baseline, which involved fixing a number of issues that ruff complains about. #python #OpenSource #programming

Really enjoyed that article by @chaykak.bsky.social . It's truly sad what it came to, but I guess it pays off to know the rules of the game if you want to play it onethingnewsletter.substack.com/p/the-new-ru...

Is there a tool/website that I give it a link, and it gives back social media posts by author that contain that link? Or at least gives links to author profile on various social media sites? #help #rss #indieweb #web #smallweb #tech #support

Just updated my Debian machine to Plasma 6. Pretty uneventful - I had to install one or two missing packages, revert few of new defaults and re-create my custom keyboard shortcuts that got lost. Overall, big congratulations to entire KDE community! #linux #kde #kde6 #plasma #Debian

I just finished #TheWeeklyChallenge 298 and man, checking subsets of matrices was NOT fun. I wonder if #RakuLang has built-in structures for 2D arrays that make problems like that a breeze? #programming

That’s pretty handy trick. Wish I knew it back when many of my projects were adopting black: marijkeluttekes.dev/blog/article... Credit fosstodon.org/@mahryekuh

I was thinking about task 2 in today’s #PerlWeeklyChallenge and after few false starts I found out this is essentially multiway number partitioning problem with k=4. I’ll probably go with greedy algorithm and call it a day. theweeklychallenge.org/blog/perl-we... #programming #TIL #compsci
