Learning about Playwright (https://playwright.dev/), a powerful tool for testing modern web applications, with an impressive demo from @sheena. Selenium can do all of this, but this seems a lot more pleasant and Pythonic. 😌 #PyCascades

We're hearing about introspection in Python from @ucodery. Excited to discover inspect.getmembers(x) and inspect.getmembers(type(x)), which together tell you about all of the attributes of an object, even if they're slots, even if they're inherited, which I've somehow failed to learn about for years. #PyCascades

i have an opportunity to upgrade from 100 Mb/s home internet to 500 Mb/s for an extra $5/mo or 1 Gb/s for an extra $10/mo. I think 500 Mb is probably worth it but my utility curve is already pretty flat tbh. How much internet can one man possibly consume

the city of vancouver council meetings website at https://covapp.vancouver.ca/councilMeetingPublic/ is designed with a fairly export-hostile UI toolkit, but here's a notebook that scrapes the table with Selenium: https://gist.github.com/tdsmith/60006dfc03cf63a5756c76048be8ad5e

What sensible forward-thinking company wouldn't want to yoke their prospects to Google's messaging strategy, I ask you.

The phrase "millionaires and billionaires" always makes me wonder about the speaker's understanding of scale. Nobody ever talks about "thousandaires and millionaires" and that's the same degree of difference. If you really have to draw the line around a category, the vast majority of "millionaires" have more in common with the thousandaires than the billionaires.

"Reverse the loss"?!? We absolutely cannot accept this kind of nonsense.

Love how Feynman didn't get really get any lines in Oppenheimer (2023) but every now and again some asshole is playing the bongos

grateful to a plumber, who I have agreed not to name, who disconnected the broken gas range in my new apartment, even though his firm isn't insured for gas work. Some delivery guys are showing up to haul the range away and deliver its replacement tomorrow. I tried to disconnect it last night and discovered that my wrenches were insufficient to the task, so he really helped me out!

After you follow someone, they have this long to follow you back before you unfollow.

“Still no promise of a cultural space for us. Still no senior homes.”

After nine years of rejections and protest, 105 Keefer condos have been approved — though with some design conditions intended to make the building more welcoming. Christopher Cheung reports.

This extension cord has been hanging down from our neighbor's balcony for a few days now. What's the funniest possible thing we could attach to it for them to find when they finally pull it back up?

a new PM today suggested today to a group of science, data science, and engineering team leads that we should achieve cross-functional alignment and visibility by establishing an elaborate hierarchy of tickets in jira. this group doesn't agree on much but every single one of us immediately started screeching in tongues
