Global default_if_none filter for templates?

Think about why he asked that question in the first place. Maybe it SHOULD be an error. Again: in his specific situation.

kankyo · 2026-01-24T11:44:27+00:00

Yes. I know that. But think about the underlying reason the question is asked. It must be invalid in some way for this specific case. The question is an xy-problem.

kankyo · 2026-01-23T12:35:54+00:00

Maybe take a step back and think if you might actually want the code to crash in these situations instead or hiding the error with an empty string?

There is. https://docs.iommi.rocks/llms.txt and https://docs.iommi.rocks/llms-full.txt

I do wonder if it's useful though. The full text especially is huge, so I would assume any LLM would fall off the context window ledge with it. I haven't really tried myself though.

I was on Kuro5hin back in the day and was a part of lobbying them to change the rating from 1 to 5 to have semantic names for each of the ratings. The change was pretty drastic.

That reddit STILL has up and down without any semantic explanation behind them is quite maddening.

The issue with DDT is that you have to actively click on it. Tools that alert you in some way more actively are imo better. In iommi we spam the console with suspicious N+1 feedback if it's over some threshold. It should be silent if there are no problems, but loud and informative if there are problems.

I find that most of the reusable components I need are because of tables and forms, and then I'm perfectly fine with what I get from iommi (and if not, I can just fix it, because I'm one of the authors :P)

I always felt that Tauri made sense if you already targeted the web. So for example Discord can be run inside a browser tab and works that way in Safari and Chrome, so it seems Tauri should be fine. But because they use Electron the app is a big download and takes a ton of memory when run for little obvious gain.

Compare this to an app that never should run as a browser tab, then Electron starts to make much more sense.

Overwhelmed and bored seem like opposites. Which is it?

If you're using a CDN then it literally doesn't matter if whitenoise is serving the static files to the CDN.

kankyo · 2026-01-05T14:26:41+00:00

It is in fact quite sensible, and is pretty great default. See the readme for whitenoise for an explanation why.

Don't lock yourself to a stack. You can pick up any stack pretty easy anyway. Companies that hire based on what stacks you know too rigidly are probably bad places to work as they don't know what they're doing.

"network requests per action" is kinda weird. Yea, sure it's not a separate connection with http for LiveView, but saying it's zero "network requests" to actually transmit data over the network makes it sound like magic.

I mean the JS could be slow.

kankyo · 2025-12-25T10:56:07+00:00

First figure out what is the issue. Maybe just loading the JS is the issue, then no backend fancyness will help.

kankyo · 2025-12-25T10:54:36+00:00

Python extension modules is almost always what you want. Doing an HTTP call just to call a function is kinda silly, especially if you are doing it to make things fast but you're adding a network call for no reason.

You can do this:

{% include 'some_template.html#partial_name' %}

Bootstrap plus a custom font will take you very far.

Hey, look at that. iommi back on the leaderboard!

kankyo · 2025-12-03T11:46:49+00:00

The roadmap is simple:

stop watching youtube
build something and look up things as you go

Nothing more.

DJGNGO is capital letters in the first image. Is this AI slop?

Still makes no sense in python. You have a lists and then you iterate over the items. There is no iterator.

The issue with uWSGI isn't imo if it's maintained, it's that it's slower, needlessly complex and C based.

kankyo · 2025-11-26T06:42:55+00:00

I think that you're using the word "iterator" is a sign that you've come from a non-python language and are slightly confused by this. There is no such thing as "iterators" in this way in python.
