🤔 "Can we add wordcloud to recognize PSF donors?"
:python: "import wordcloud"
✅ Done

Thanks to @willingc for the idea and @indepndnt for actually implementing it on the website!

The PSF Donations page now has a wordcloud, in the shape of PSF logo! 🤩 :python:

Check it out on this page: https://www.python.org/psf/donations/#donors

@mariatta @willingc @ThePSF interesting the very large software companies that use python that you don't see there 🤔

⚠️ Docker v25 Networking Issues (Self-hosted only)

Please be aware that a recent update, Docker version 25, has introduced networking issues in Bitwarden as well as other Docker-based software such as HomeAssistant.

For more information and troubleshooting, please see the full post in the Bitwarden Community https://community.bitwarden.com/t/docker-v25-networking-issues-self-hosted-only/62633

Life hack that I learned from one of my professors long time ago. 20 years later, I still follow the advice.

When sending a file attachment to someone else, include your name in the file, and additional info too.

e.g. Instead of assignment1.txt do: mariatta_assignment1_cmpt123.txt

This helps them when the recipient needs to download similar file from various people.

I do this now when I upload files too, eg

Mariatta_Resume_for_CompanyX.pdf
mariatta_personalized_pricelist_for_you.pdf
etc

midnitte,
@midnitte@fosstodon.org avatar

@mariatta can also help yourself when dealing with... lots of email.

I receive hundreds of emails at work and (easily adaptable) I type in the sample ID/part number/etc (usually after the information people will actually read) to make the email easily searchable - especially if juggling may different things on different timelimes.

Can easily do the same for project names/tasks/etc

Random thought: I bet you could really annoy people with a tool that took a Python file and simply changed a single character (randomly, but strategically chosen) to make it non-PEP8 compliant. Install it as a pre-commit hook or something.

midnitte,
@midnitte@fosstodon.org avatar

@orsinium @dabeaz change all of the ' to alternative quotation marks (like the right quotation mark)

Or change spaces to tab characters. 😅

Two finals down, one to go. I was supposed to be on vacation today to be able to focus on them, but instead I ended up working 6 hours on my day off. Tomorrow is a work day, but guess what's probably NOT going to happen?

@mike used my last PTO to take my final yesterday and ended up having an upper rep injection. 😷

@pythonbytes @mkennedy @brianokken ep 361 was great! If anyone (esp @brettcannon ) wants a project, you can even build a keyboard yourself.

QMK/ZMK firmware is where you'd want to start.

Hoping to get the parts I need to build my own Cheapino for Xmas (though I certainly wouldn't turn down a Moonlander...)

Anyone who complains about 's syntax but is cool with "[::-1]" in , I need you to look in the mirror pls

midnitte,
@midnitte@fosstodon.org avatar

@pinjontall tbf that is syntactical sugar - you could just do list.reverse() for easy reading.

I... don't think I want to know how to reverse a list in Haskell. I think I heard ancient gates opening and great powers descending, cthulu flgggnkor uggsor

midnitte,
@midnitte@fosstodon.org avatar

@barubary ah that's because .reverse() does the operation "in place".

There's a multitude of ways to handle reversing of varying degrees of reading complexity...

Interesting about Haskell though, my Googling Foo resulted in some horrifying code I was not prepared for:
reverseList [] = []
reverseList (x:xs) = reverseList xs ++ [x]

🎧🐍 Episode of the Real Python Podcast is live: Finding the Right Coding Font for Programming in Python

What should you consider when picking a font for coding in Python? What characters and their respective glyphs should you check before making your decision? This week on the show, we talk with Real Python author and core team member Philipp Acsany about his recent article, Choosing the Best Coding Font for Programming.

Someone's running an obfuscated Python contest (https://pyobfusc.com). I should submit an entry that's simply:

print('Hello, World!')

And then just sit back and wryly smile.

@dabeaz shouldn't that be more like:
print(chr(72)+chr(69)+chr(76)+chr(76)+chr(79)+chr(32)+chr(87)+chr(79)+chr(82)+chr(76)+chr(68)+chr(33))

@ngaylinn ISLR ( https://www.statlearning.com/ ) might be of interest. There's also Biological Modeling: A Short Tour, and relatedly Rosalind ( https://rosalind.info/ )

The KLOC (thousands of lines of code) was used as metric for developer productivity. Turns out it was useless, and too easily gamed.

But there is another metric used by tech companies that is equally, if not more, ridiculous. The TBICWOC.

Time Buttocks In Contact With Office Chair.

Going for a walk may reduce your personal TBICWOC, but can boost your productivity.

midnitte,
@midnitte@fosstodon.org avatar

@willmcgugan seems like many companies struggle to grasp that it also applies to remote work.

Does the location of that chair matter?
