Combined release notes from GitHub with jq and paginate-json
— Matt Holt [asked](https://twitter.com/mholt6/status/1690177417393135616):

Catching up with the Cosmopolitan ecosystem
— I caught up with some of the latest developments in the ecosystem around Justine Tunney's [cosmopolitan](https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan) and Actually Portable Executable (APE) projects this week. They are _absolutely fascinating_.

Running a Django and PostgreSQL development environment in GitHub Codespaces
— Helping people setup development environments (and fix them when they break) can be incredibly frustrating. I'm really excited about cloud-based development environments such as [GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces) for exactly this reason - I love the idea that you can get a working environment by clicking a green button, and if it breaks you can throw it away and click the button again to get a brand new one.

Scroll to text fragments
— I ran a Google search this morning for `s3-credentials simon willison` and when I clicked on the top result it jumped me to a highlighted snippet of text on the page, despite that page not having relevant anchor links.

Checking if something is callable or async callable in Python
— I wanted a mechanism to check if a given Python object was "callable" - could be called like a function - or "async callable" - could be called using `await obj()`.

Exploring the Overture Maps places data using DuckDB, sqlite-utils and Datasette
— The [Overture Maps Foundation](https://overturemaps.org/) published [their first data release](https://overturemaps.org/overture-maps-foundation-releases-first-world-wide-open-map-dataset/) yesterday, and it's a really big deal. Here are my notes and first impressions of the data I've explored so far.
TIL
Protocols in Python
— [Datasette](https://datasette.io/) currently has a few API internals that return `sqlite3.Row` objects. I was thinking about how this might work in the future - if Datasette ever expands beyond SQLite (plugin-provided backends for PostgreSQL and DuckDB for example) I'd want a way to return data from other stores using objects that behave like `sqlite3.Row` but are not exactly that class.
TIL
Using pytest-httpx to run intercepted requests through an in-memory Datasette instance
— I've been working on a tool called [dclient](https://github.com/simonw/dclient) which is a CLI client tool for talking to Datasette instances.
