We've moved to Hetzner (from Digital Ocean) for our hosting. Tests so far show faster bandwidth and CPUs at a fraction of the cost. Details below (#python, cc @mkennedy):

✍️ I just finished writing the new pdb chapter for Boost Your Django DX. Lots of good stuff about pdb and ipdb.
🖨️ I’m not against print debugging though, per this past post:
https://adamj.eu/tech/2021/10/08/tips-for-debugging-with-print/
🤔 Maybe I could squeeze a “print debugging” section in with these tips?
Daí que eu desenvolvi um pequeno script #Python para descrever imagens utilizando o modelo llama3.2-vision no XMPP. Cara, consome muito do sistema! Vou parar de usar enquanto não criarem algo com consumo razoável. Imagino o quanto de energia os caras estão gastando com esses serviços baseados em #IA rodando a 1000 por aí. Os caras estão brincando de Deus.
Thanks to everyone who came along, and especially our speakers:
Nazaal Ibrahim who told us about JAX for machine learning and numerical computation
Jussi Pakkanen @jpakkane for how he took inspiration from Knuth and wrote his own build system (Meson) and PDF library (CapyPDF)
Akseli Lukkarila for showing how easy it is to use Rust from Python and Python from Rust
And of course to #Nitor for graciously hosting us in their wonderful office!
Happy 🎅🎄❄️
I’ve added a consulting page to my website. Do get in contact if you think I could help.
Mastodon.social alt text analysis report! 🧐
Me and my friend Cristal just published a report on image description usage on mastodon.social, as a group project for the Introduction to Data Science course of the Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Societies Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome 💕
A huge thanks to @stefan for publishing the dataset on which we based our analysis!
NOTE: We are absolutely aware that the report has very little actual relevance, as the dataset contains a super limited amount of posts from one instance only. It was mainly an experimentation to test our data analysis skills.

My latest blog post: Next Trains
https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/
My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.
I have been making progress with my color converter/creation application built with PyQt. I just added a 4 point gradient tool this morning. This application will allow you to create, convert and manage all your colors in one place.

I added a new visualization to my #Django #chess #webapp. Now you can see the possible black or white moves, given threats and protections. "Either-or." Previously, there was just one visualization of every square on the board and the "potential energy" of each piece. And it was hard, for beginners especially, to see your best moves.

To do this, I had to add a new key to my #Python chessboard coverage data-structure at https://pypi.org/project/chess-coverage/

I wrote a better #medium #tutorial #article #parody of #python #programming #tutorials in which I hilariously misunderstood python to be a reference to #sbcl #commonLisp #lisp (heir to CMUCL python).
I also address two fascinating medium trends I discovered.
1. The intense swapping-whispered-ghost-stories about lisp by scientist writers
2. Most articles named "Free Python Tutorial!" have no code, but links to purchasing training.
I eventually found "11 one-liners"
