I was on @mike's Dot Social podcast to talk about Mastodon, (not the 1984 movie), and the social web. If you've got questions about any of those things, maybe we've covered them!

I for one am happy to see #Threads actually joining the #Fediverse. #Federation is the great hope for social media and even the Web generally. It needs to be welcomed. Too many people are trying #Mastodon and abandoning it for #Bluesky or Threads or going back to X because they’re finding more engagement there. Adding the ability to interact with the huge #Meta base could keep people here. I just hope Threads doesn’t keep slow-rolling it.

I know that Mastodon nowadays feels cozy. And I know federating with Meta may, in a sense, lose some of that coziness. In my opinion, it.may be worth it as long as we can make the most of it and get people out of Meta progressively.

But please people, remember to be nice and kind to each other. Those who want to block Meta, will do so. Those who want to follow people from meta, will do so. This is a feature from Fedi, not a bug.

The top ten languages. Back in 2003 I started messing around in , a couple of years later some colleagues told me I should use only as Python was of no value... I think they got the wrong langauge, the one I used in school was in the end of less use.

Riddles by @folkerschamel pushed me to find out what thinks about riddles, so I asked it to create a riddle no one will solve without the interpreter. Result surprised me a lot:

I am a language that's high,
With indentation as my style,
I am dynamic and strong,
With modules to keep me going long.

I have no semicolons in sight,
But my syntax is always right,
My functions are defined with care,
And my loops make tasks easier to bear.

What am I?

ado, to python

I am really excited for 3.12 for three reasons.

First reason - No more ugly TypeVar declarations.

Old generic type:

from typing import Generic, TypeVar<br></br><br></br>_T_co = TypeVar("_T_co", covariant=True, bound=str)<br></br><br></br>class ClassA(Generic[_T_co]):<br></br>    def method1(self) -> _T_co:<br></br>        ...<br></br>

New generic:

class ClassA[T: str]:<br></br>    def method1(self) -> T:<br></br>        ...<br></br>

Second reason: 🚀 Gotta go fast. From the abstract

Comprehensions are currently compiled as nested functions, which provides isolation of the comprehension’s iteration variable, but is inefficient at runtime. This PEP proposes to inline list, dictionary, and set comprehensions into the code where they are defined, and provide the expected isolation by pushing/popping clashing locals on the stack.

Last: F Strings will support some common use cases that broke interpolation in the past, like f'{ myDict['myKey'] }' and f"{'n'.join(a)}"

cazabon,

@folkerschamel @ado

I get it; I've been a big fan of Python since 1995. When type hints were first proposed it did seem a little at odds with Python philosophy - but I was reassured by the immediate assurances that they were optional, and were going to stay optional. So I mostly ignored them for a few years.

When I did start using them, it felt a little weird; the code didn't "look" right. But that's the same with any change.

Now I'm a big believer. They have prevented so many bugs...

for fans:
where does this error come from?

In my opinion, one of the great things about is that it's simple and straightforward - you don't get unexpected surprises. But there are a few exceptions, as this example shows.😉

@folkerschamel @ljmc I used to struggle with it too, but now I remember the ordering by mentally converting it too a multiline for-loop again, and keep the same order.

@folkerschamel OK that is surprising and counter-intuitive, and not Pythonic.

This SO post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38318370/what-are-list-comprehension-scoping-rules-within-a-python-class#38318470 referring to this in PEP 289 https://peps.python.org/pep-0289/#early-binding-versus-late-binding explains it ... and I don't like it at all!

Why Facebook might have chosen to implement ActivityPub in by @ricmac:

https://thenewstack.io/threads-adopting-activitypub-makes-sense-but-wont-be-easy/

Screenshot from the linked article: I mention all this because it plays right into Meta’s strengths. Meta will still control the identity layer even when it integrates with ActivityPub — and that’s immensely valuable when you’re the owner of Instagram’s social graph. Since Threads is also hosted on Meta’s servers, all your data is managed by Meta too. There’s no way Meta would’ve wanted to join the AT Protocol or Solid, because in both cases they would potentially be handing over control of identity and at least some data to their users. As Barrett put it in a separate post: “One core difference between the fediverse and the AT Protocol seems to be that AT decouples many key building blocks — identity, moderation, ranking algorithms, even your own data to some degree — from your server.”
