Brian #1: mdformat

• Suggested by Matthias Schöttle
• Last episode Michael covered blacken-docs, and I mentioned it’d be nice to have an autoformatter for text markdown.
• Matthias delivered with suggesting mdformat
• “Mdformat is an opinionated Markdown formatter that can be used to enforce a consistent style in Markdown files.”
• A python project that can be run on the command line.
• Uses a style guide I mostly agree with.
  • I’m not a huge fan of numbered list items all being “1.”, but that can be turned off with --number, so I’m happy.
  • Converts underlined headings to #, ##, etc. headings.
  • Lots of other sane conventions.
  • The numbering thing is also sane, I just think it also makes the raw markdown hard to read.
• Has a plugin system to format code blocks

Michael #2: pre-commit-uv

• via Ben Falk
• Use uv to create virtual environments and install packages for pre-commit.

Brian #3: PEP 758 and 781

• PEP 758 – Allow except and except* expressions without parentheses
  • accepted
• PEP 781 – Make TYPE_CHECKING a built-in constant
  • draft status
• Also, PEP Index by Category kinda rocks

Michael #4: Serie: rich git commit graph in your terminal, like magic

• While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs.
• Others may find git log --graph sufficient.
• Goals
  • Provide a rich git log --graph experience in the terminal.
  • Offer commit graph-centric browsing of Git repositories.

Extras

Michael:

• Sunsetting Search? (Startpage)
• Ruff in or out?

Joke: Wishing for wishes

The last and deepest position is in the books. After obvious #1 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, where do the rest of the big stars like Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, and Stephen Curry land? How did we process down years for Ja Morant, Trae Young, Jamal Murray, and De’Aaron Fox?  And who are some of the controversial risers that we believe could outgrow their roles over the next year?

OA1145 and T3BE65 - Lydia joins this Wild Card Wednesday to discuss the awful, inhumane HHS layoffs. Workers were lined up around the block to wait hours to find out if they were fired or not. These are human beings. The people responsible for this should be imprisoned.

(awkward transition) and then it's time for a bar exam question!
