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.

@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes I do use copy/paste pretty liberally on a per-section basis.

I thought of adding jinja support, possibly using macros or something or another to alleviate this, but found that copy/pasting is not too bad in the long run...

What's a movie or tv show you think more people should see?

@jonafato I really enjoyed Girls5Eva way more than I thought I would. Occasionally bumpy, but before you know it, you're laughing at something else... and the music satire is on point... highly recommend!

I think we need to talk more explicitly about why we're settling on "safety" as the term we are pursuing. As a manager, I've been trying to reconcile that term with some of the real expectations and pressures of the workplace. I don't think we are doing enough to create clarity. And I worry instead that talking about "safety" is creating unrealistic expectations.

@glyph @polotek There's also the issue that sometimes these "estimates" are made by people up the management chain--themselves under some sort of pressure to pick a number/date from a hat--and then the team members that are then trying to fulfill a deadline that they had no say in to begin with.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@polotek @glyph Yeah, totally agree. It's important, but sometimes difficult, to realize you're in a situation where management is insulated from accountability until the shit hits the fan and flows downward--but in general, there are ways to notice this ahead of time. And yes, I do agree on your larger points.

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers โ€” I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

Python people, do you make short-lived intermediate variables to make your return statements readable?

For example, which of these would you tend to prefer?

def get_project_name(output_str): """Get project name from output of

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes I like the latter, for the most part, unless the statement that is being returned is too verbose. But that distinction is quite subjective.

What's everybody using to make their talk slides these days?

I've given a number of talks, but they've been spread out enough over the years that I've never developed deep familiarity with any one tool. I've mostly used PowerPoint and Keynote.

If you use reveal.js, do you use the basic setup? Full install? Hosted version?

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes I use reveal.js. I used the basic setup and created a django app to organize all my slideshows. I tend to edit the css a bit to customize things a bit.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes Great question. Since this is a django app, I have a base template for the html file, and the individual "slideshows" are just the actual "content", which includes each slide as a <section> (if that makes sense).

So each "slideshow" file only has the slideshow content in it, and each <section> represents a slide, with an <aside class="notes" data-markdown> for my speaker notes.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes In the app, I can choose/select which "slideshow" to load and present... and creating a new one means I'm "only" creating a file with the <section> elements as noted above.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

Lol, this is so true!

But for what it's worth, it was also my "I'm going to write my first django app and I want it to be something useful" attempt--and as such, it's been what I've been using exclusively for my talks.

I do have a version of this on github that I'm kind of embarrassed by... I'd like to refactor a lot of it, but here's the link just in case... This is not the version I use locally, but maybe I'll update in the near future:

keep in mind... this was my very first django app, so YMMV

My students often ask me whether they can see a list of every dunder method that has. I've been meaning to compile a categorized list for years.

I finally did it.

Here's every dunder method in Python... all 115 of them! ๐Ÿคฏ

Are you registered for PyCon US 2024?
If you don't mind, please share with me:

  • are you a first time attendee, or a repeat attendee?
  • what made you interested in attending the conference (interested to hear especially about your first PyCon US experience)
  • how did you learn about the conference

This is for personal research ๐Ÿ˜Š but I might quote you later somehow (will ask permission first)

Fun fact: 77% of PyCon US 2023 attendees were first-timers!

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@mariatta This will be my third PyCon! Prior to 2022, I had been learning/tinkering with Python in a sort of silo. I had been missing out on the language's best feature... the people! I learned about the conference through the CfP at the end of 2021, and I thought to submit a tutorial idea (never dreaming that I'd be selected). I actually knew next to nothing about the conference aside from the CfP.

I met so many awesome people that year and had so much fun presenting and volunteering!

Been slowly tinkering on a Litestar app I'm building just for the hell of it. My local amateur soccer league could really use a website, and I could also stand to learn a new web framework. (I mean, why not?)

While I've been plugging away at it (over-engineering and all), I decided to continue building in public.

Lots of fun stuff in here, but a pretty good "real world" use case for the PyHAT stack (htmx/Tailwind).
