Facebook was the same. A company would hand them a token for a visitor that went to their site like say Amazon. They then tell Facebook if you see that visitor token show them an ad for this vacuum cleaner. No information ever traded hands except some anonymous id and money.

But I have had places actually sell my information. Comcast Various Banks The State of California

I had a weird last name attached to Comcast never used it anywhere elae. Started getting mail from various companies for Rev WeirdLastname

I registered an LLC, all these compliance companies now send me mail. Thanks California

Tech companies not so much they just target ads and I can block those

100 years of inflation has destroyed the purchasing power of the poor and middle class. If your mam and pop does not grow 2% a year its a shrinking business and eventually there is nothing left. Big corps seem to make it work by bending the rules. But the little guy gets screwed. The rich tax rate is like the murmur show to distract us from losing everything of value.

i’m not buying it. Sure he could be a confederate apologist but if you are writing a song about some rich old dudes in DC screwing the rest of us over its some hard rhymes. When I heard the song he pronounced the word “rich men” and “richmond” nearly identically. I was like what does “rich men north of rich men” mean, then later I heard “richmond north of richmond”

Looking at the lyrics he was complaining that we have people in the streets with no food to eat while there are obese people getting fat on welfare. Sounds like he thinks government is incompetent.

I saw a stat years ago that if we took all the money we spent each year on welfare and just gave the people those programs were trying to help straight cash we would have 5x the amount needed to push them all over the poverty line.

Yeah I heard that argument from the “right” and “left” yeah people would gamble all their money away then what.

Its basic income, if you want more go produce something. But we should treat people like adults and stop treating them like children.

I always told my kids the monsters were in the closet not under the bed. I also introduced them to hand puppets named chewy and Bytee. They were monster ostrich that lived in the closet, there favorite food is my kids which they nip at and the kids all have found it hilarious over the years. Also there was a monkey that slept in the closet when the zoo was closed. I told the kids I was renting out the closet space. Have three kids 13, 11, 4 none of them were ever afraid of the closet or under the bed. Any hint that they thought something was in the closet and I would go full conspiratorial and confirm there is “something” in the closet. That always seemed to work well apposed to denying their fears.

ugh Jira. At my first job in 2006 I was the Jira administrator. Every project wanted their own custom fields. We had a Jira project for “infra” problems it had 3 fields yall Title/Description/priority and it worked so well. Moved to a company with a simple ticket system with not much more but the concept of “tags” it was heavily

Didn’t know how much I needed this before now.

I have the HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw I love it. I got it new last year. Sure its been complaining about low toner for 90% of that time but it still prints and they look great. I don’t have hp software installed, I have the wifi turned off and just use the ethernet hookup. airprint from my phone works great also. Its never once refused to print because one of the toner colors are empty. Sure it complains but it still prints. I can’t say the same for any inkjet I have ever owned.

Never buy consumer grade printers. If the ink is more expensive than the printer you are going to get hosed in the long run.

I had a brother laser before but it pulled so much current at warm up that it caused a brown out that tripped all the ups’s in the house.

Resources for someone looking into moving from other languages to Python?

Hello Python community! There are a lot of resources online targeted at beginners that want to learn Python but very rarely do you see articles talking about moving to Python when you already have tons of experience in other languages like Ruby, and especially, many years of Perl experience and is interested in moving to Python....

rev,

IMHO programs don’t belong on pypi only libraries. Its a waste of namespace.

Explicit is better than implicit, read the zen of python(its short). Don’t be too magical. Don’t reach for a class if you have no state. Watch some jackdied talks from old pycons. You don’t need custom exceptions the stdlib has plenty. Also if its not documented don’t use it. Don’t use star imports.

Black just use it don’t fight it, don’t waste brain space with formatting rules. “You can have any formatter you want as long as its black”. Use default black settings. People who don’t are heretics :P

sys.path or PYTHONPATH is how imports are resolved. Much like shells looking for binaries. IMHO you should never adjust either. The current directory is always added to sys.path. but beyond that directories are packages. Use __init__.py when you want to provide a module for what happens when you import a package.

python3.11 -m venv .venv

This is how you should create your venv. After that activate it and use pip. You should setup a requirements.txt for your project, then you can use pip -r to configure your env. Global install of third-party libraries is always a bad idea in practice. Version constraints make that almost impossible these days.

rev,

python is like this also. I don’t remember a language that returned ints

rev,

imho its a cost we should pay. CPU’s are getting more cores not faster ones.

I guess it may depend on the rights of scooter. He may only have rights to the recordings themselves and not the lyrics.

The “mainstream” media has not been mainstream for years. News Paper replaced the town criers. Radio Replaced News Papers. TV replaced Radio. Internet replaces legacy media. Its just how this works. The future is not centralized. There will never be a time again where 3 broadcast networks are allowed to control the news. This is good

When to use `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`

After learning about TYPE_CHECKING i made it a habit to put all imports that were only needed for type checking into an if TYPE_CHECKING: guard. But now I am wondering if that is actually intended to be used like that. Checking whether an import is only needed at type checking time can get quite tedious and sometimes you run...

rev,

Any time you need different behavior between static type checking and runtime.

in 3.10 I’m using it to work around issue with NamedTuple generics. typing_extensions.NamedTuple allows Generics at runtime but typing.NamedTuple doesn’t. But the type checker we are using doesn’t support typing_extensions.NamedTuple like it does for the typing version so we lie at type checking time to get the typing to make sense but have different runtime type because otherwise its a TypeError

Why is it so annoyingly hard to set up a Fediverse node?

Everyone (and their mother) have been trying to convince me that I should use one of my less loaded servers to be a Fediverse node. However, all Fediverse software packages I checked only support being installed on complicated systemd + Docker machines. My servers don't have either of those, because neither systemd nor Docker...

rev,

I didn’t use docker. I went from scratch. You need to be able to compile rust and run nginx or similar
