    There has been a long gap between posts (again!), and a lot of the stuff that I'm going to talk about in this post is fairly old too. Oh well, life keeps getting in the way of blogging. Anyway, I've recently submitted a talk for the FOSS4G UK 2026 conference in Leeds in October, and have just found out that it's been accepted. That reminded me that I never got round to posting about my workshop at the same conference last year&8230;oops! So, here goes: FOSS4G UK 2025 workshop: Live Vector Tiles from PostGIS with pg_tileserv Last year at FOSS4G UK 2025, I ran a workshop on generating vector tiles live from a PostGIS database. The full description of the workshop from the schedule is available below, but I started by giving a bit of a talk about vector tiles, what they are, and the differences between pre-generated and on-the-fly vector tiles. I then gave a number of exercises to work on using a PostGIS cloud server that I (well, my current client) provided for people to play with. People worked through using pg_tileserv to server vector tiles on-the-fly, starting with consuming tiles for a table, and moving on to generating tiles from PostGIS functions. Full workshop description Vector tiles are a key part of many modern web ..

    Why the DSF pursued CNA status Django has a long history of responsible security practices: a dedicated, private security mailing list, clear advisory policies, and predictable security releases. Even so, we relied on external organizations to assign CVE IDs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) . This sometimes introduced administrative delays and extra coordination overhead. Becoming a CNA (CVE Numbering Authority) allows the DSF to: Assign CVEs ourselves for vulnerabilities in Django and selected community projects. Publish advisories more efficiently and in closer alignment with Django's established release workflow. Maintain strong independence in how Django handles security incidents. The initial exploration The process began with internal discussions within the DSF Board and Django Security Team . We evaluated: Whether our existing security process already met CNA expectations. Whether we had the organizational stability to take on long term responsibility for CVE assignment. The scope of projects we would cover. How to ensure we could meet the operational requirements without overloading volunteers and Django Fellows . After confirming that our policies were mature and that the administrative ..

    OpenAI has rolled out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's image generation stack, and the jump is not subtle. In OpenAI's official announcement , the company says the new system is faster, follows instructions better, preserves details more reliably across edits, renders text more cleanly, and now lives inside a dedicated Images experience in ChatGPT. It also says outputs can be generated up to four times faster than before. That alone would make it a meaningful product update. The more interesting shift is how believable these images are starting to look, especially when the model is asked to generate screenshots, UI mockups, or desktop scenes that look like they came from a real device. If you want a quick refresher on how to create AI images in ChatGPT , this release pushes that workflow much further. Examples from OpenAI's ChatGPT image 2 rollout show how polished and varied the new outputs can look. What the Launch Actually Adds It can generate original images, edit uploaded photos more precisely, preserve details across multiple revisions, handle smaller and denser text better, and produce outputs in more aspect ratios. OpenAI also says the model is better at keeping people and objects consistent across edits, which helps ..

    Animal Forest (“ Dōbutsu no Mori ” or “どうぶつの森”) was released in Japan for the Nintendo 64 on April 14th, 2001: exactly 25 years ago today! To celebrate this beloved franchise I have created calendars for each of the “ first-generation ” Animal Crossing games that you can load into calendar apps like Google Calendar or Apple Calendars to see events from your town. These calendars include holidays, special events, igloo and summer campers, and more. Additionally, I've created a tool which can generate importable calendars for the birthdays of villagers in your town using data from future titles and star signs from e-Reader cards . Select which game, region, and language you are interested in and then scan the QR code or copy the URL and import the calendar manually into your calendar application. Note that calendars are only available for a valid “game + region + language” combinations such as: “Animal Forest e+ + NTSC-J + Japanese”. Continue reading on sethmlarson.dev ...

    Trees take quite a while to grow. If someone 50 years ago planted a row of oaks or a chestnut tree on your plot of land, you have something that no amount of money or effort can replicate. The only way is to wait. Tree-lined roads, old gardens, houses sheltered by decades of canopy: if you want to start fresh on an empty plot, you will not be able to get that. Because some things just take time. We know this intuitively. We pay premiums for Swiss watches, Hermès bags and old properties precisely because of the time embedded in them. Either because of the time it took to build them or because of their age. We require age minimums for driving, voting, and drinking because we believe maturity only comes through lived experience. Yet right now we also live in a time of instant gratification, and it's entering how we build software and companies. As much as we can speed up code generation, the real defining element of a successful company or an Open Source project will continue to be tenacity. The ability of leadership or the maintainers to stick to a problem for years, to build relationships, to work through challenges fundamentally defined by human lifetimes. Friction Is Good The current generation of startup founders and programmers ..

    This post announces fluent-codegen , a Python library for generating Python code. Not everyone needs this, but when you need it, you'll probably know, and you'll want probably want a decent solution that is not based on string concatenation. The history of this project is that it started out as a codegen module in fluent-compiler , which is an implementation of Project Fluent , Mozilla's internationalisation solution. So the word “fluent” referred to that originally, but now it refers to a set of nice APIs for building up Python expressions. As I needed a code generation library for another purpose, I pulled out this library and fleshed it out into a relatively complete, standalone project. It has also evolved quite a bit since its earlier form, and is a pretty well rounded library now. You can check out the nice docs , which include a nice little toy example of a “SVG to Python Turtle” compiler. Enjoy!

    When I sit down to code, these are the tools I use at this time whenever I touch code. In alphabetical order: Atuin Atuin is a replacement for the default shell history. It saves your history to a local, encrypted SQLite database. Then it allows for blazing fast searches. You can sync your history across devices, and is has a lot of other features. I can't imagine using a terminal without Atuin. For OSX users, I recommend installing following these instructions . bat A Rust-based cat replacement. It has syntax highlighting, line numbers, and a lot of other features that make it a great tool for quickly looking at files in the terminal. Ghostty Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that I believe works everywhere. Yes, TMUX (and competitors) are more configurable and have more features, but Ghostty just works out of the box . Ghostty eschews the arcane key combinations of its predecessors in favor of intuitive keybindings. A ghostty terminal can be split horizontally and vertically and copy/paste works as expected. It also doesn't appear to interfere with any other shell tool, something that annoyed me about TMUX. Usually I have three vertical panels: On the far left a panel for running ..

    Back in the day Heroku felt like magic for small Django side projects. You pushed to main , it built and deployed automatically, and the free tier was generous enough that you could experiment without ever pulling out a credit card. For a long time, Heroku was the easiest way to get something live without worrying about servers, deployment scripts, or infrastructure at all. Every Python developer I knew recommended it. Sadly, that era is over. The slow decline The problems started piling up in 2022. In April, hackers stole OAuth tokens used for GitHub integration, gaining access to customer repositories. It later emerged that hashed and salted customer passwords were also exfiltrated from an internal database . Heroku forced password resets for all users. Their handling of the incident was widely criticized: they revoked all GitHub integration tokens without warning, breaking deploys for everyone, and communication was slow and vague . Then in August 2022, Heroku announced they would eliminate all free plans , blaming “fraud and abuse.” By November, free dynos, free Postgres databases, and free Redis instances were all gone. Look, I understand this wasn't sustainable for the company. But they lost an entire generation of developers ..
