Revsets are a declarative language from the Mercurial version control system. Most commands in Mercurial that accept a commit can instead accept a revset expression to specify one or more commits meeting certain criteria. The git-branchless suite of tools introduces its own revset language which can be used with Git.

I find blockchain fascinating because it extends open source software development to open source + state. This seems to be a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms; We don’t just get to share code, we get to share a running computer, and anyone anywhere can use it in an open and permissionless manner. The seeds of this revolution arguably began with Bitcoin, so I became curious to drill into it in some detail to get an intuitive understanding of how it works. And in the spirit of “what I cannot create I do not understand”, what better way to do this than implement it from scratch?

We are going to create, digitally sign, and broadcast a Bitcoin transaction in pure Python, from scratch, and with zero dependencies. In the process we’re going to learn quite a bit about how Bitcoin represents value. Let’s get it.

SwiftUI’s various stacks are some of the framework’s most fundamental layout tools, and enable us to define groups of views that are aligned either horizontally, vertically, or stacked in terms of depth.

When it comes to the horizontal and vertical variants (HStack and VStack), we might sometimes end up in a situation where we want to dynamically switch between the two. For example, let’s say that we’re building an app that contains the following LoginActionsView, which lets the user pick from a list of actions when logging in.
