New version of Fritter today: https://pypi.org/project/fritter/0.0.9/

Containing this fun new API: https://fritter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/fritter.drivers.datetimes.html#guessLocalZone

@glyph i don't know if pywin32 is a gigantic dependency but

https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/win32/Lib/win32timezone.py#L694

win32timezone.TimeZoneInfo.local() does what you want, i think?

@tef@mastodon.social avatar

@glyph i did also find a ctypes example of calling kernel32.GetTimeZoneInformation

have seen a new startup advertising "ci, but without yaml!" and "if it runs on your machine, it passes in the cloud!"

and like i know i'm old but "writing a shell script" and "not needing root to run a test suite" feel like problems that can be solved without writing integration code for a cloud based test SDK

tef,
@tef@mastodon.social avatar

at some point i knew i was no longer "with it" when i scoffed at everyone refusing to vendor their dependencies and instead re-download them every test run, but what do i know

i watched the apple ad everyone is hating on and I hate it too. it feels bad man.

@tef@mastodon.social avatar

@lzg i am also old enough to remember when apple lauded itself as the computer for creatives and it just feels like i've only just caught up to how long ago that apple died

@lzg crushing all the things that bring people joy is how apple used to portray the competition

@glyph total aside, but i've been trying to reign in the reply guy urges i am cursed with

one thing i've found that helps is to be more earnest, or, being "this reminded me of this cool fact, ty!" over "did you know??!"

that and prefixing things with uh. total aside

i do feel that if more static type weenies had an appreciation for dynamic languages, they wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot every time they have to write a build system

some days i do take a moment to appreciate that "repeatable builds" is something no-one gets to take for granted

Watching this Practical Engineering video about the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse, and at one point he drops this photo of the immediate aftermath of the 1980 collapse of the Sunshine Skyway bridge near Tampa

…

Okay. What do the bumper stickers on this car say?? This is really distracting me. I think the one on the right says something like "Do It With A ____ _____". I think someone bought a sex joke bumper sticker and accidentally got it immortalized in structural engineering history!!

@mcc can agree i now see "do it with a union craftsman" but also i went and looked

he wasn't a union craftsman

"Richard, Mr. Hornbuckle, a wholesale car dealer, was en route to pick up some vehicles for resale in Pinellas County."

@mcc also that guy never drove on the skyway again, apparently

can't blame him

@jessie i am trying not to be old and "what" but it is very hard to not see this as an elaborate means to use the style attribute without having to admit you're doing so, along with a whole series of shortcuts i will never remember

Rolled credits on yesterday at 162 hours. The endgame was a bit of a tedious slog, and I could nitpick endlessly, but wow, what a tour de force this game is. I did do an absolutely unapologetically goody two-shoes route and it was much more satisfying than in a lot of other games where the "good" ending is a sort of bland default. For example, it's a bit tricky to do this:

@glyph this is going to sound like a bit, but have you played fallout new vegas?

if you like character driven story but you're willing to put up with a bit of number-go-up mechanics, it's quite fun

@glyph the thing about fo:nv is that it's a janky as hell game, but it's also like "the good showrunner came back for one season"
