Excited about the program for #OW2con - lots about funding open source software sustainably. Tickets are free, so if you're near Paris June 10-11, stop by! I'm speaking about anti-plagiarism polices

sure, it’s nice in theory to get rid of the car lane on prospect park’s east drive, but then you actually have to get rid of the cars. maintenance vehicles now have no official dedicated lane, so naturally they veer into the bike lane. sounds like blasphemy, but they should’ve kept the car lane, maybe specifying that it’s for maintenance vehicles only and banning outside traffic through the park

When students ran their code through ChatGPT and asked it to identify areas of high coupling, "One student’s ChatGPT answers confidently cited high coupling between a variable and that variable’s setter, and recommended decoupling those two pieces of code at once." -@HeyChelseaTroy

Woooooo my badass friend @HeyChelseaTroy is teaching a 2 day workshop on technical debt at #DDDEU in Amsterdam starting tomorrow (Monday May 28). She's one of the best teachers I know. I think there might still be tickets available:

Using Python 3.11 or higher, I want to create an output file and add a line describing it to a log file as an atomic operation: either the output file is created and the log entry is added, or neither happens. fcntl.flock() is only advisory - will something else give me stronger guarantees, preferably on all three major OSes? #python #file-lock #atomic-operation #question
