A common task of a programmer or engineer is to split an absolute path into the directory name and the last part of the path, which could be a file or folder.

You have two options in #Python:

🐍 os.path.split
🐍pathlib

Here are the two approaches:

TIL about pipx.
It sets up a separate venv for each installed binary, and links them from $HOME/.local/bin. It can also upgrade everything with a single command (although I haven't tested this part yet).

Just crazy that the EU admits Apple's iPad doesn't meet the standard for being a gatekeeper, and yet decides to apply these rules all the same. Doube standard, anyone?

It's BookBub day. If you know, you know. They're stressful. Happy. Also stressful and expensive.

99 cents for three books is a steal no matter what, though.

🎲 Do you like Python's little CLIs? For example:

$ python -m http.server
$ python -m webbrowser example_url
$ python -m uuid
$ python -m calendar

What about adding one to random?

$ python -m random curry "fish n chips" tacos
curry

$ python -m random 6
6

$ python -m random 2.5
1.6423361547011504

Give your feedback on my proposal at
https://discuss.python.org/t/command-line-interface-for-the-random-module/51304

If there's support we might be able to get it into 3.13 before May's beta cutoff! 🤞

Flipboard, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to fediverse

In December, we started to federate the accounts of some Flipboard publishers and in February, we introduced Magazines to the fediverse. Now, we’re taking two important steps: federating the accounts of 400 creators and expert curators; and enabling two-way communication so that new followers and fediverse activity are visible and actionable in the Flipboard app.

To learn more about this, take a look at our blogpost:

https://flipboard.medium.com/flipboard-federates-11-000-magazines-by-400-creators-and-enthusiasts-82dd94691f74

Find all the handles of our newly federated curators here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iUFTo6rPvhqzCReLaM1c6-xUKRuBVqlZVStZl9Al-EU/

Thanks so much to everyone who has given feedback on what we’ve done so far. We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey to fully federate Flipboard.
