I started with #nix. I've loved the general idea of their package management for a while, but the system seems a lot more complex than I would have liked.

I'm now struggling with an issue to create my own flake, but I'm disappointed that no one has responded so far in what seems like such an active community (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/compilation-error-when-using-cbc-package-as-part-of-a-flake-on-macos/36745). Maybe it is not as MacOS friendly as I thought.

It has been: [0] (zero) days since ten minutes of reimplementing @cadey 's JSON-to-sqlite3 pattern¹ for a new data schema has turned a multi-hour slog of a task into a 0.03ms query that can now be documented and reused by the rest of the team

side-eyes the Splunk cluster consuming thousands of dollars of opex and engineer time every month while working orders of magnitude less well than a shell script

One of the curious things about #Python on Ubuntu is that Python is essentially pre-installed with the Linux distribution. That seems to be because Ubuntu itself uses Python quite a bit for various parts of its setup and routine processes.
Not a complaint as it works well for me, and in a way makes a good "fence" in which I can code and avoid non-stock dependencies.
For Foldatry, I only need to have "python3-tk" added via the admin account.
Wonder if anyone has mapped that out across distros.

I have a giant .sql file describing the giant schema dumped from an Oracle database. I don't have Oracle Database installed. Know any good tools to explore the tables/relations? It's way too big for a graph diagram. It has to run locally, no uploading it somewhere. #sql #oracle

I'm listening.

It has been [0] days since I've been sorely tempted to wrap terraform goop into a thin layer of Lisp, just so that I get to use extremely basic programming things like abstraction through functions and macros.

Questions for @talkpython -->

I'm doing an episode on mobile apps built with and/or backed by #python services. Questions and comments you think I should asked our panel of guests (show is in 1hr from now).

As Python continues its ascendance, I sometimes wonder if I even have a place in that world. I'm not so sure.

At work we're running a hackathon (three days, try out any idea you want), but we want to pull in non-engineers also. "Hackathon" sounds very engineer-y. What are some other possible names for the event that would attract a broad audience? The days don't have to be devoted to code, there are lots of ways to explore innovation. No idea is too weird...

I'm toying with writing up my adventures in writing lisp in assembler, but it's one of those things where it's really best to build up the code as you go and see it evolve. I remember some articles that do this with kind of a two-pane presentation with the code on one side, explanations on the other, and as you scroll through the narrative the code evolves.

Is this a thing? Did I dream it? Where do I get one?

Can you see why this #Django code is suboptimal?

Getting ready for the penultimate in-person course in my Chicago office this coming week. This course, "The One", is just nuts--I think it took my brain 6 months to recover from the last time I did it.

The final send-off for my Chicago office comes in a few weeks with the Raft course. That seems to be a more fitting close. Bon Voyage!

I'm starting to understand things about terraform

..terrible, terrible things.

🤔 Does anyone have thoughts on a good/reasonably priced analytics web service that's not Google Analytics (they have enough of my data)?

Emphasis on reasonably priced please.

Django Packages is 2 to 3 million hits a month, every month, which is $200 to $500 a month (browsing pricing pages) for non-Google companies.

Cloudflare has been fine, but they only show the last 30 days.
