Would you like to learn the very basics of #programming? I can teach you.
I like to teach #Python in the context of making drawings, if you already know how to program but would like to learn some Python or some #CreativeCoding, I can help! Maybe you know someone who would enjoy this?
Schedule a free chat with me and we can discuss further details like time availability and my rates. All my teaching materials are free and open, but I need income to keep producing them. Some generous people make small recurring donations. https://abav.lugaralgum.com/links
#SubTootingCompliments: the #Python community is full o wonderful people, like that biologist that has a hard day job in public service and in their spare time finds bugs in CPython using advanced fuzzing techniques.
Hi, dear people on #WIndows, can you check form me if on #ThonnyIDE you can do !jupyter lab on the interactive console down on Thonny's window? It works on Linux! (you have to have #JupyterLab installed)
I can check this tomorrow but I was surprised... (I was trying %run a few months ago and it didn't work) now I hope I can try #py5's live coding feature launching it from Thonny like this also...
I'm too lazy to check this myself this Sunday, so I'll just ask...
how much of a performance penalty is paid if someone adds #Python imports statements inside a helper function body so it can be just copied and pasted around?
I guess the optimal thing would be to add the imports at the top of a module with the helpers so they occur only once when one imports the function, instead of being evaluated each time the function is called, but, in the context of didactic examples it is handy for the learner to have the helper function together with the example... but then I could move the imports to the top... but then I'm lazy, and... so many decisions...
@Ze_Andarilho@MeuRefugioNerd eu entendi que é pior que isso, que a arquitetura Wayland aumenta a segurança (contra exfiltrar dados da tela ou teclado) dificulta muito as ferramentas de acessibilidade, posso estar enganado :(
Where Tim O'Reilly sees almost only opportunities, with optimism, I see many unwanted side effects, with pessimism. I think I'd prefer a more skeptical analysis.
Now the point I disagree most vehemently is when he speaks of AI tools in counterpoint to traditional programming tools: “one that can write poetry but struggles with basic arithmetic, another that calculates flawlessly but lacks creativity.”
No! LLMs can't write decent poetry and don't have creativity, it's basically a stochastic-based plagiarism machine!
I saw recently a good toot about the misuse of "democratization", used to mean something awkward about removing skilled work or something... I can't remember who posted it.
Gostei de ouvir o https://manualdousuario.net/podcast/202504/ mas queria comentar com você, espero que você não me leve a mal, que estes dois formatos de podcast que você mencionou como "super produção" e "mesacast" me parecem ser fruto de uma amostra muito enviesada (talvez sejam os formatos/conteúdos dominantes da "podocastosfera" brasileira?). Os meus podcasts prediletos durante anos desconfio que nunca tiveram nenhum desses dois formatos (posso estar enganado... será que você classificaria como super produção?) Um que chamava "You are not so smart", o Grok Science, o podcast do Cory Doctorow que eu ouvia uma época, o do canadense Jesse Brown, vários do The Guardian, Tech Weekly e Science Weekly. Vários podcasts da BBC, Life Scientific e, Digital Human. Mais recentemente tenho ouvido uns cabeçudos de Python: Talk Python to Me, Python Bytes e core.py ... (Realmente os com mesa redonda com gente falando de assuntos que ninguém ali manja muito não me interessam)
