I’m most excited about the new REPL. I’m going to push for 3.13 upgrade as soon as we can (hipefully early next year). I’ve messed around with rc1 and the REPL is great.
Do you know why pytest was taking up so much RAM? We are also on 3.11 and I’m probably going to wait until 3.13 is useable for us.
EOL for 3.8 is coming up in a few short weeks!
So cool!! Mercury is definitely the most mysterious inner planet due to its difficulty to get a space probe there even though it’s the closest planet.
The spacecraft will arrive next year, and I can’t wait for all the Science it will uncover!
TIL this exists
I also like the POSIX “seconds since 1970” standard, but I feel that should only be used in RAM when performing operations (time differences in timers etc.). It irks me when it’s used for serialising to text/JSON/XML/CSV.
I’ve seen bugs where programmers tried to represent date in epoch time in seconds or milliseconds in json. So something like “pay date” would be presented by a timestamp, and would get off-by-one errors because whatever time library the programmer was using would do time zone conversions on a timestamp then truncate the date portion.
If the programmer used ISO 8601 style formatting, I don’t think they would have included the timepart and the bug could have been avoided.
Use dates when you need dates and timestamps when you need timestamps!
Do you use it? When?
Parquet is really used for big data batch data processing. It’s columnar-based file format and is optimized for large, aggregation queries. It’s non-human readable so you need a library like apache arrow to read/write to it.
I would use parquet in the following circumstances (or combination of circumstances):
Since the data is columnar-based, doing queries like select sum(sales) from revenue
is much cheaper and faster if the underlying data is in parquet than csv.
The big advantage of csv is that it’s more portable. csv as a data file format has been around forever, so it is used in a lot of places where parquet can’t be used.
They’re asking for TV manufacturers to block a VPN app in the TV. Not to block VPN in general.
Dude, if you’re being obtuse on purpose because you have an ax to grind against Rust, try a different approach. You’re not getting anywhere, clearly by the fact that no one agrees with you.
If you don’t like that Rust has a restricted trademark, then call that out instead of trying to label the software and it’s license as non-free. It’s literally called out in my source that name restrictions ipso facto does not violate freedom 3.
But if you genuinely believe that the implementation of the Rust language and it’s trademark is burdensome to create a fork, and you want people to believe you, then you gotta bring receipts. Remember, the benchmark that we both quoted is that it “effectively hampers you from releasing your changes”. It being “not a piece of cake” doesn’t cut it.
Hint: Google Rust forks since their existence also undermines your claim.
Good luck.

Rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable, if they don’t substantively limit your freedom to release modified versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately. Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your modifications as yours. As long as these requirements are not so burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your changes, they are acceptable; you’re already making other changes to the program, so you won’t have trouble making a few more.
Python does not follow semver.

Password managers support passkeys.
If you are being intentional about its use, then you can get a lot out of it. But for some, maybe even most, YouTube is a distraction.
While it would be ideal to have all datetime fields in databases and other data stores be time zone aware, that is certainly not the case. Also, SQLite (and probably others) do not have great support for time zones and it’s recommended to store datetimes as UTC (typically unix timestamps).
Deprecating utcnow
was a good idea, but they should have replaced it with naive_utcnow
. Oh well.
I’m shocked.
I’ve used pyenv
for years and it’s an awesome tool. Keeps python binaries separate and it has a virtualenv
plugin. I’ve gotten others to use it as well.
It works great for library owners who need to run tox/nox on multiple versions of python in test suites. Love it.
pyenv
also has this with the .python-version
file which will switch versions. And with the plugin, you can use virtualenvs in pyenv so that a .python-version
can be simply: my-cool-project-virtualenv
and switching to that directory automatically switches to it.
Really cool. This was sorely needed for a while, and I’m glad that someone is taking the mantle to provide this valuable service to the Python community. As Seth mentions in his previous post, supply chain attacks are becoming more concerning. Great that the PSF has hired someone specifically for these types of issues.
Nice. I just searched for it and now it’s federating with this instance !pythorhead@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Thanks for creating the lemmy python library!
My thought was that a lawsuit is more expensive than arbitration, but settling a class action lawsuit is cheaper than thousands of arbitrations.
