pip install textcharts[mcp] "textcharts histogram: commits/day, all branches." textcharts — 15 chart types, zero dependencies, pure Python. The built-in MCP server means any compatible AI agent can generate charts from natural language.

Claude Code terminal session showing the textcharts MCP server rendering a "Commits per Day" histogram in response to a natural-language prompt. The chart shows 151 commits across 5 days (Mar 06-10), with bars ranging from about 20 to 40 commits per day, a dotted mean line at 30.2, and a text summary below. The textcharts library runs standalone via MCP with no BenchBox dependency.

It's harder to grind out the tokens when you're oncall. 😢

Deleting the Google app from the iOS devices from older relatives has taken the place of removing Windows toolbars 20 years ago. Surprising that Apple allows this since it degrades the whole device experience.

Let's get Pedro Pascal for a David Moyes biopic #Everton #EFC

Black and white image of Everton Football Club manager David Moyes alongside the Everton crest and the words "Everton, the David Moyes story". Image is in the style of recent "The Last of Us" graphics and uses David Moyes in place of Pedro Pascal.

Someone knows how to follow fucking instructions

10-12 years is the new default. It used to be 5-7 but the "big winners" can't achieve liftoff in that time anymore I don't like it either (check bio…) but the alternative seems to be acquihire at 2 yrs, low value acquisition at 4-5 yrs, or early IPO and immediately struggling / bought out.

As I was saying… NB: my currently role has *very* broad permissions but it does *not* have permission to create arbitrary IAM roles or modify policies.

A screenshot of the AWS Management Console’s “Table buckets” page. At the top, there is a heading “Table buckets – New” with a description stating that table buckets provide storage optimized for analytics workloads. A section labeled “Integration with AWS analytics services – Preview” shows the integration status as “Disabled” for the US West (Oregon) region, and an “Enable integration” button is displayed. Below, the “Table buckets” section indicates that there are currently zero table buckets, and a search box is provided to filter them by name. However, a red error message states “You don’t have permission to list table buckets” and advises updating IAM permissions to allow s3tables:ListTableBuckets. A “Diagnose with Amazon Q” button is visible, and the “Create table bucket” button is greyed out.

A screenshot of the AWS Management Console, specifically the “Enable integration” page for AWS S3 and analytics services. The heading “Integration with AWS analytics services – Preview” is visible, followed by explanatory text about enabling table bucket integration with services like Athena, Redshift, and EMR. The integration status for the selected AWS Region (us-west-2) is shown as “Disabled.” Below that, there is a section titled “AWS Lake Formation table bucket registration.” It indicates that when integration is enabled, AWS will create an IAM role to grant Lake Formation access to table buckets, but the user does not have the required permission to create the IAM role. A red error box states: “You don’t have permission to create an IAM role,” instructing the user to update their IAM permissions (iam:CreateRole) and try again. A “Diagnose with Amazon Q” button is visible beside the error. At the bottom, there is a note that “A catalog named s3tablescatalog is created in AWS Glue Data Catalog…”. The “Enable integration” button is displayed in the lower-right corner.

Anyone else feel like AWS product names are becoming a lot like Amazon listings? Many different things under the same name and you need read carefully to understand what you're actually buying.
