SilverSalmonAK, to Alaska

To file under shit happens: My guy had a small accident with the boat. Unfortunately, no-one in Sitka does that kind of fiberglass work.

It will be off to Wrangell once he's sure the boat can make it. Maybe an emergency patch to get him there.

It's NOT taking on water, he made the 2 hour run in last night just fine so that is huge.

Things can always be worse.

@SilverSalmonAK Oof, I'm glad he's okay, and I'm sorry we've never figured out how to make a sustainable haulout available. :/

It's notable that almost every other Django book out there doesn't touch deployment at all. Makes me wonder if I should stop trying to cover it and just move it to a more advanced thing that is separate. Especially now that there isn't a great free option, it's a non-starter for many people apparently based on feedback I've gotten.

@ehmatthes@fosstodon.org avatar

@wsvincent Oof deployment, no advice there. :/

But definitely keep testing in. It's one of the things I wish I learned about much earlier in my career. I don't think it needs to be covered in depth, but enough that people start on that path as soon as they're building their own projects.

    @AlSweigart Yesterday I asked GPT advice on how to sync things between two machines. Its first round of advice would have made a complete mess of the second machine.

    It's super useful, but I don't trust it at all in areas where I don't already know what I'm doing reasonably well.

    Coming to US? We're going to be there! Core team members @vossisboss and Scott Cranfill will be teaching a workshop on May 15 about making websites more accessible. There will be a poster from @vincesalvino and @thibaudcolas too. Come check it out!

    We're working on organizing a Wagtail Open Space as well, so stay tuned here for the location and time! We'll let you know as soon as we sign up for a space.

    @seachanger We are so jealous! It clouded over just before dark. A few people got a few overhead glimpses, but that was it. Glad you got to see it!

    I know enough about this kind of event to be fascinated, but not enough to know whether damage is likely.

    ehmatthes,
    @ehmatthes@fosstodon.org avatar

    @carlton Here's an explanation of the scale for rating these events. What's confusing to me is this is the first G4 event since the early 2000s.

    Yet this scale indicates that G4 events happen about 100 times per cycle, where a cycle is 11 years. So ~10 per year?

    👋 If you have any tech books you no longer need and are attending , kindly bring them with you and donate them. https://mastodon.social/@webology/112412883477592922

    ehmatthes,
    @ehmatthes@fosstodon.org avatar

    @webology I would add that people should make sure the books they're donating are up to date enough that it's worth students' time to learn from them.

    When I dealt with donations of tech books as a teacher, we spent a fair bit of time filtering out books that were good, but outdated enough that they'd only lead to frustration for students.

    People who use reveal.js, do you end up duplicating slides with slight tweaks in order to get the effects you want sometimes?

    It feels pretty hacky and inelegant, but much simpler than trying to code up what I want to see sometimes.

    We had a nice spring rainbow last night. :)

    SilverSalmonAK, to Alaska
    @SilverSalmonAK@alaskan.social avatar

    6:00AM: 43F, woke up to rain.

    Still expecting rain today, tomorrow, then heavy rain Thursday. We have a large system hitting the panhandle and Sitka will get a big share of that.

    SE40kt gale tonight - no fishing for John!

    Attached is a pic of a lovely, super bright rainbow last night.

    No rainbows without rain!

    @SilverSalmonAK That was one of the most perfect rainbows we've ever seen!

    I remember having a discussion about argument parsing in a while ago where someone recommended a small library that was kind of like argparse except that instead of returning an argparse.Namespace, it returns a fully typed object (which you define), a dataclass or something similar. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I wanted to try that library but I forgot what it is and I can't find the discussion.

    ehmatthes,
    @ehmatthes@fosstodon.org avatar

    @diazona Was it Click, or something much smaller than that?

    @diazona @pawamoy I'm glad you asked about this, Cappa looks really interesting. I've been looking for something more than argparse, without going all the way to Click.
