This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite videos.

A choreographer dancing with herself as a four year old.

I have to use Windows for work, and it sucks. It is mind numbingly unresponsive compared to what I'm used to.

I recently got the "New" Outlook and Teams, and I'm wondering if all newer Microsoft software is built on a shared framework called "Microsoft Bloatware".

i am so over the web design trend where every piece of text on the page has to animate in

A webpage for a "Noble" crypto project, where each piece of text slides into view on scroll

As the person who has been called being “famous for advocating for the src layout” I endorse this message.

Occasionally I get that suggested by Copilot and I weep for who taught it that.

The whole point of the src directory is to NOT be importable.

@olafurw Remember when we talked about Python integers at work back when? Here's a really nice writeup of how they're implemented in the CPython VM.

They are by default bignums, and it takes a minimum of 28 bytes to store an integer on 64-bit platforms. 🤯

When you say #PiDay, I hear #PyDay. Let's celebrate this day with a special episode with a special guest: sitting Steering Council member and #Python core developer, Emily Morehouse-Valcarcel!

We're talking about the Steering Council, progress bars, least and most favorite parts of Python, and of course, assignment expressions.

I'd use a walrus emoji, but the best we've got is a tuskless seal! 🦭 There's no anonymous crow either...

I just want to write some code, maybe make some music, maybe draw some pictures.

I don't want to be mad about blockchains, I don't want to be mad about GenAI, I don't want to be mad about terrible backfiring "think of the children" legislation, I don't want to be terrified about the rising tide of bigoted, racist fascism ending democracy in my lifetime.

I don't want you to have to be mad about all that either.

I wish the world would leave us all alone for a little bit.

#Python challenge for y'all.

Your mission, should you chose to accept it...

Write a function to get the last 5 lines from a text file as efficiently as possible. Assume line endings are all "\n".

Should work with text files of any size.

It would be harsh to say that requests is a pile of poorly-written attractive nuisances on top of urllib3. But, unfortunately, it wouldn’t be wrong.

Many diligent devs have spent countless work hours trying to unfuck the project over the years, but there’s only so much you can do when:

“After receiving our first security disclosure, I was told that Requests wasn't a serious project but instead one person's art project and thus we shouldn't fix the vulnerability.” https://hachyderm.io/@sigmavirus24/111986425127558764

It should really be less of a ceremony to contribute to a project on GitHub and delete the fork afterwards. No wonder everybody carries around dozens of unused forks in their profiles.

Thought: I'd bet a lot of projects would have fewer dependencies if pip was 100x slower. Maybe we should try to do that.

Shots fired by the flake8 maintainer.

We can have a nuanced discussion about the failures of flake8 etc, but you’ll still have to acknowledge that a VC-backed, non-Python project profited from decades of community work, & has sucked all air out of the space.

It’s not like I’m not using Ruff—but I do it begrudgingly & find the cheerleading around it baffling. It has practically destroyed a part of the ecosystem & it looks like nobody has seen the VC playbook play out.
