@ksaj apologies for coming in out of left field, especially since I'm not a Lispophile.

You might be interested in Hylang, a Lisp dialect embedded in Python that "compiles" its Lisp syntax in to a Python AST.

https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/

Disclaimer: I've never used Hy, have just heard of it.

@ksaj that said, I also have no idea how well it would work the Python available on microcontrollers.

Tough day for me as a fan as the Detroit Tigers have signed announcer Jason Benetti to a multi-year contract. Jason is a great announcer and I am going to miss him. Don't know who they replace him with yet. I was hoping for Len Kasper but apparently he will stay on the Sox radio team. fans, get ready, you are in for an absolute treat

@cbbruce1979 oh man, that's awful. I grew up listening to Steve Stone on Cubs broadcasts.

Listening to Jason Benetti and Steve Stone on White Sox games the last few years has been an absolute treat.

Just finished Mickey7 and I have to say it might be my favorite SciFi read of the year so far. The concepts are somewhat familiar, but combined in a fresh and engaging way, and written so that you're always kept right on the edge of your seat.

Excited for the movie that's coming out next year as well, as it seemed like the type of book that would translate very well to the screen!

It's actually the first novel I had read in quite a while.

🤔 "Lower-Than-Expected" - Let's break this down....

Those of us who used to really like going to the movie theatre would rather watch from the comfort of our homes.

Movie theatres are expensive, loud, and gross, and have a certain amount of anxiety associated with waiting in lines, getting not-amazing seats, or over-paying for seats, then waiting and overpaying for non-amazing snacks or food.

So ya, I'm team streaming from home.

I still have this idea in my mind, to serve every user of a application from his personal private database which is completely separated from the databases of the other users. But I also have no idea, if I can make the database router to do its magic based on the user of a request… May be a nice research project.

jnovinger,

@oliverandrich @birnim that link almost mentions it, but I imagine this could also be an interesting way to offer data export to users.

@simon I saw tabnanny and, as a browser tab addict, I had to know more.

Turns out it's a tabs vs spaces indent specific linter. Still cool though!

Any tips for fixing Django migrations when you remove 3rd party dependency?

You can remove the field from the model and migrate fine, but if you ever uninstall the dependency, migrations will start to fail because the older migrations still reference the dependency, so you get ImportErrors.

One of @webology's suggestions was to edit the migrations to be TextFields, which'll work in my case b/c my field is a TextField subclass, but that's not exactly generalizable (or elegant). Other ideas?

jnovinger,
@jnovinger@mastodon.social avatar

@frank @jacob @webology this is how I've handled it in the past as well. I vaguely remember trying @sebleier 's approach of squashing migrations in the past, but honestly can't remember how it worked out.

@Sophokles I started to answer this and then realized I wasn't really sure of the definition.

According to https://mastodon.help/#UsingMastodon, it's basically just a retweet in Twitter terms. That's what I would have guessed, but good to know for certain.

@Sophokles @brunofin , to answer my own question ... boosts without extra comments are a thing for good reasons.
