Over the years, I figured out what works for me and what doesn't. If you read my articles or attend my courses, then you know how I like to learn since I teach in the same way. The challenge when learning something new is finding resources that are just right for me. And that's not easy. I know I can learn things better and quicker with resources that fit my style well, but you can't always find these resources. I recently got particularly annoyed learning about the biomechanics of sprinting I do have non-Python interests, yes because all three textbooks I read, and lots of the online writing in this field, are just, let's say, not great. But I now found the solution. After many decades of learning in the same way, I have now upgraded how I learn thanks to my new tutor, Priya. Yes, I gave her a name. No, she's not a real person. Priya is my personalised tutor agent. I'll tell you all about her below. And you'll experience her teaching, too (not on the Python articles, though, I'll keep writing those the old-fashioned way.) I'll tell you more about this below, too, but let me first tell you why this works for me.

It represents the first stage in the 6.1 release cycle and is an opportunity to try out the changes coming in Django 6.1. Django 6.1 offers a harmonious mélange of new features and usability improvements, which you can read about in the in-development 6.1 release notes . This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The current release schedule calls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate roughly a month after that. We'll only be able to keep this schedule with early and frequent testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum . As with all alpha and beta packages, this release is not for production use. However, if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker ), you can grab a copy of the alpha package from our downloads page or on PyPI.

This release focuses on startup performance , reliability , and quality-of-life improvements for terminals and package management. Faster startup Activation is now noticeably snappier, especially on remote and containerized workspaces. We made three key changes: Lazy manager discovery. Pipenv, pyenv, and poetry environments are no longer discovered eagerly on startup. Instead, detection is deferred until you actually interact with one of those managers for example, by opening a project that uses a Pipfile or pyproject.toml with a poetry backend. This eliminates unnecessary work for the majority of users who rely on venv, uv, or conda. ( 1423 , 1408 ) Faster environment resolution. The path from "extension activated" to "interpreter ready" is shorter. Resolution during startup and interpreter selection now completes with less overhead. ( 1419 ) Narrower default workspace scanning. The default search pattern for virtual environments was ./**/.venv , which triggered a recursive scan of the entire workspace tree. On large projects and especially over Remote-SSH this could cause the .. cntdMon, 27 Apr 2026 20:07:30 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/chatgpt-image-2-realistic-screenshots/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 .. cntdMon, 27 Apr 2026 13:00:50 GMThttps://www.journaldunet.com/management/direction-generale/1549715-une-tech-rh-qui-depasse-la-simple-digitalisation/La Tech RH dépasse la digitalisation : écosystème d'outils intelligents couvrant tout le cycle collaborateur, elle transforme les RH en levier stratégique, orienté data et performance.Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:26:30 GMThttps://www.journaldunet.com/management/salaire-cadres/1549773-rv1-diplome-ou-travail-salaire/Un intitulé de poste sur un contrat vaut-il plus qu'un diplôme ?

If you have been looking for a cleaner way to install and use an agent on your own machine, this sits in the same wider conversation as how people run AI locally with lighter setup friction. This is not an official Nous Research desktop app. Hermes Desktop is a separate open-source project created by GitHub user fathah. It sits on top of Hermes Agent and gives it a native interface for setup, chat, and day-to-day management. It is a third-party desktop companion for Hermes Agent, not the upstream project itself. What Is Hermes Desktop? Hermes Desktop is a native app for installing, configuring, and chatting with Hermes Agent without doing everything by hand from the command line. According to the project's GitHub repo, it uses the official Hermes install script, stores Hermes under ~/.hermes , and provides screens for chat, sessions, profiles, memory, skills, tools, schedules, and messaging gateways. That makes it less of a simple wrapper and more of a desktop control panel for Hermes. What Can the App Do? Based on the repo and release notes, Hermes Desktop already goes well beyond a basic chat .. cntdWed, 22 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/cloudflare-email-service-for-agents/Cloudflare has pushed its Email Service into public beta , but the bigger story is not just about sending mail. It is about turning email into a built-in way for AI agents to communicate. Source: Cloudflare Email is still one of the few tools almost everyone already uses. There is no new app to install, no special client to learn, and no new habit to build. If an agent can work through email, it fits into the way people and businesses already operate. What Cloudflare Actually Announced The main update is simple. Cloudflare Email Service now supports sending email in public beta. Cloudflare already supported receiving and routing incoming email before this. Put together, Cloudflare now has a full two-way email setup: receive email with Email Routing process it with Workers or the Agents SDK send replies or updates with Email Sending In plain terms, developers can now build apps or agents that read incoming email, do some work, and send a response back. That opens the door to support agents, approval workflows, account verification systems, document processing tools, and other automations that need to work through an inbox. Why Email Works Well for Agents A normal chatbot is usually expected to answer right .. cntdSat, 18 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/adobe-firefly-ai-assistant-creative-cloud/Adobe is trying to turn Firefly into more than an image generator. Firefly AI Assistant is Adobe's attempt to turn Creative Cloud into an agent-driven workflow layer. Instead of bouncing between Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Express, users describe the result they want, and Firefly handles the app hopping in the background. That is a much bigger move than adding another AI button inside one Adobe app. It extends the direction Adobe has already been pushing with features like Photoshop with AI , but at a broader workflow level. What Adobe Announced At the center of the announcement is a simple idea: one prompt should be able to trigger a multi-step workflow across several Creative Cloud apps while preserving context between sessions. Adobe laid that out in both its official blog post and its newsroom release . The pitch is straightforward: spend less time figuring out which app, panel, or workflow to use, and more time describing the end result. Adobe is positioning the assistant to work across apps including: Photoshop Premiere Pro Express Lightroom Illustrator additional Creative Cloud apps over time It will also ship with prebuilt Creative Skills , reusable task flows for common .. cntdFri, 17 Apr 2026 09:55:00 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/google-gemini-mac-app/Google has launched a native Gemini app for macOS, which is a more meaningful move than it sounds. Until now, using Gemini on a Mac mostly meant keeping a browser tab around. It worked, but it never felt like something built for the desktop. This new app changes that. In Google's official announcement , the company pitches Gemini for macOS as a faster, more integrated way to use its AI on the desktop, with global shortcuts, window sharing for context, and quick access without bouncing back to a browser. That alone makes it easier to compare with ChatGPT and Claude, especially now that tools like ChatGPT with macOS app integrations already feel at home on the desktop. What the Gemini Mac App Actually Does At the core, this is a native macOS app that lets you call up Gemini from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut. The main shortcut is Option + Space , which opens Gemini quickly without forcing you to switch tabs. Google also says Option + Shift + Space can open the full chat view, and both shortcuts are customizable. Gemini's floating prompt window lets you ask quick questions without leaving what you're working on. That part feels important. The whole pitch here is speed.

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 ...

According to The Verge , the individual plan now costs $15.99 per month , up from $13.99 . The family plan is now $26.99 , up from $22.99 . Premium Lite, the ad-free plan without YouTube Music, goes from $7.99 to $8.99 . This latest hike appears to apply to the US only, while many international users already saw YouTube Premium price increases in late 2024. That is the headline. The bigger story is how often YouTube has changed the price and the product around it. From Music Key to YouTube Red to YouTube Premium, the paid offering has been moving in one direction for years. The 2026 Price Hike The new monthly US prices are: YouTube Premium Individual: $15.99, up from $13.99 YouTube Premium Family: $26.99, up from $22.99 Premium Lite: $8.99, up from $7.99 The increase applies immediately for new subscribers, while existing users are being notified ahead of their next billing cycle. The standard individual plan is now $4 higher than it was at launch under the YouTube Premium name in 2018.

At first glance, they look like direct rivals. They're both open-source. They both run on your own hardware or a cheap VPS. They both promise a more useful kind of AI assistant than the usual chatbox. But after spending time with both, I don't think the real question is which one kills the other . That framing is lazy. The better question is this: what job do you want the agent to do? Because OpenClaw and Hermes Agent are built around different ideas. OpenClaw feels like a capable runtime for getting things done across apps, channels, and workflows. Hermes feels more like an agent that is trying to become better at being itself. That difference matters. The Short Version If you want a practical assistant that can live in Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, email, the browser, and your shell, OpenClaw makes a lot of sense . If you want an agent with stronger memory, a built-in self-improvement loop, and a setup that invites experimentation with lots of models, Hermes Agent is the more interesting bet . And if you're deep enough into this space to care about both orchestration and .. cntdSun, 12 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMThttps://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/11/the-center-has-a-bias/Whenever a new technology shows up, the conversation quickly splits into camps. There are the people who reject it outright, and there are the people who seem to adopt it with religious enthusiasm. For more than a year now, no topic has been more polarising than AI coding agents. What I keep noticing is that a lot of the criticism directed at these tools is perfectly legitimate, but it often comes from people without a meaningful amount of direct experience with them. They are not necessarily wrong. In fact, many of them cite studies, polls and all kinds of sources that themselves spent time investigating and surveying. And quite legitimately they identified real issues: the output can be bad, the security implications are scary, the economics are strange and potentially unsustainable, there is an environmental impact, the social consequences are unclear, and the hype is exhausting. But there is something important missing from that criticism when it comes from a position of non-use: it is too abstract. There is a difference between saying "this looks flawed in principle" and saying "I used this enough to understand where it breaks, where it helps, and how it changes my work." The second type of criticism is expensive. It costs .. cntdSat, 11 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/openscreen-screen-studio-alternative/If you make product demos, tutorials, walkthroughs, or short social clips, there's a good chance you've looked at Screen Studio before. And for good reason. It's one of the nicest screen recording tools around if you care about presentation. You record your screen, and it handles a lot of the polish for you: cursor-following zooms, smooth motion, clean framing, and a result that looks far better than a raw screen capture usually has any right to. The problem, of course, is that it's not free. If you only make polished demos once in a while, another subscription can feel a bit ridiculous. That's exactly where OpenScreen comes into play. It aims at the same kind of workflow, but it's free, open source, and available across macOS, Windows, and Linux. That alone makes it worth a look. What Is OpenScreen? OpenScreen is an open-source desktop app built for turning ordinary screen recordings into cleaner, more watchable demos. It is positioned very clearly as an alternative to Screen Studio, and the overlap is obvious the moment you look at it. You can record your screen or a specific window, then refine the result with zooms, cursor effects, backgrounds, annotations, and timeline-based edits. In other words, it is not just .. cntdFri, 10 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMThttps://www.hongkiat.com/blog/codex-vs-claude-code-2026/If you have been watching the AI coding tool space, you know the story by now. OpenAI put Codex into ChatGPT. Anthropic shipped Claude Code . Both will write your code, debug your mess, refactor your spaghetti, and run agentic tasks while you grab coffee. But they price differently. And usage limits? That is where it gets interesting, and where a lot of comparisons fall apart. I spent time with both. Here is what I found. Pricing Both start at $20/month. That is where the similarity ends. Plan OpenAI Codex Cost Claude Code Cost Base ChatGPT Plus $20 Claude Pro $20 Mid ChatGPT Pro $200 Claude Max 5x $100 Heavy None – Claude Max 20x $200 Teams ChatGPT Business ~$25-30/user Claude Team Custom Prices updated at time of writing. A few things worth noting: Codex has no standalone pricing. It is bundled into ChatGPT plans. If you want it, you are on Plus ($20) or Pro ($200). Claude Code has a sweet mid-tier at $100. The Max 5x plan is genuinely compelling for power users who do not want to jump to $200. OpenAI also has a lighter ChatGPT Go tier around $8/month, casual users only, and Codex access is reduced there. On paper, $20 gets you .. cntdTue, 07 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMThttps://grahamdumpleton.me/posts/2026/04/free-python-decorator-workshops/I've been working on a set of interactive workshops on Python decorators and they are now available for free on the labs page of this site. There are 22 workshops in total, covering everything from the fundamentals of how decorators work through to advanced topics like the descriptor protocol, async decorators and metaclasses. The workshops are hosted on the Educates training platform and accessed through the browser, so there is nothing to install. An experiment in learning We are well into the age of AI at this point. Need to know how to write a decorator in Python? Just ask ChatGPT or Claude and you will get an answer in seconds. Want to refactor some code to use decorators? Let an AI agent do it for you. The tools are genuinely impressive and I use them myself every day. That said, as someone who spent years as a developer advocate helping people learn, the question that keeps coming up is whether there is still an appetite for actually learning how things work. Not just getting an answer, but understanding why the answer is what it is. Understanding the mechanics well enough that when the AI gives you something subtly wrong (and it will), you can spot it and fix it yourself. These workshops are my experiment in finding .. cntdThu, 02 Apr 2026 04:38:56 GMT
