Force recent MacOS to listen for screen sharing on localhost only, keeping SIP on

All the following has been validated on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

Problems

While there is a command line preference to accept only local VNC connections, that setting still doesn't prevent the daemon from listening to the wildcard address, and advertise the service on Bonjour. I haven't actually tried to see if it restricted anything in modern versions of the operating system, but here it is for reference:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist VNCOnlyLocalConnections -bool yes

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Logging setup for FastAPI

This logging setup configures Structlog to output pretty logs in development, and JSON log lines in production.

Then, you can use Structlog loggers or standard logging loggers, and they both will be processed by the Structlog pipeline (see the hello() endpoint for reference). That way any log generated by your dependencies will also be processed and enriched, even if they know nothing about Structlog!

Requests are assigned a correlation ID with the asgi-correlation-id middleware (either captured from incoming request or generated on the fly). All logs are linked to the correlation ID, and to the Datadog trace/span if instrumented. This data "global to the request" is stored in context vars, and automatically added to all logs produced during the request thanks to Structlog. You can add to these "global local variables" at any point in an endpoint with `structlog.contextvars.bind_contextvars(custom
