TIL pytest coverage with context — [This tweet](https://twitter.com/mariatta/status/1499863816489734146) from \@Mariatta tipped me off to the ability to measure "contexts" when [running coverage](https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/6.3.2/contexts.html#context-reporting) - as a way to tell which tests exercise which specific lines of code.

TIL Running the latest SQLite in Datasette using Homebrew — I made a pleasant discovery today: Homebrew are very quick to update to the latest SQLite release (here's [their formula](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/sqlite.rb)), and since [Datasette](https://datasette.io/) when installed via Homebrew uses that version, this means you can use `brew update sqlite` to ensure you are running the most recent SQLite version within Datasette.
