silly facts learned about python this morning
1. heapq methods don't seem to actually be methods - I have no idea exactly why
2. you can frivolously just heappush tuples with random stuff in them and it _just works_?
3. math.hypot does euclidean distance

i finally figured out why safari doesn’t do bold properly - it’s been font-synthesis this whole time!
remaining question - why does safari need to do any of that when i have a variable font ready for it

On behalf of Piotr
It is with great sadness that I inform of the passing of Piotr on July 29th, after his long fight with cancer. He was a great man, great engineer, a wonderful husband, father, brother and son. A dedicated Ruby community member. He will be sincerely missed
Piotr's wife, Monika

@durumcrustulum.com Is there a canonical way to use ML-KEM and X25519 in a hybrid scheme? I was poking around and found a proposal for TLS1.3 to use them that way, but it seems like it was expired
