@pythonbytes with all the talk about `uv` in episode 403 (and 401 and 400 and 399... hey, thanks Python Bytes search!)

Interesting to see it being used in projects like Home Assistant to reduce download/setup times: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/10/02/release-202410/#faster-upgrades-when-using-custom-integrations

The recent trends of apps forcing the share menu open when you take a screenshot (looking at you, LinkedIn) is rather annoying.

I'm taking a screenshot for my future reference (or to share something funny), not to increase your "engagement" metrics.

@pythonbytes 397 was great - definitely enjoy using Plotnine. I hate many things about R, but the syntax for ggplot2 is definitely one thing I enjoyed.

Perhaps something to cover next is updates to `uv` (abd the build up of `Cargo`), sort of related to talk about python app building in Talk Python's data science perf episode: https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging

Started building a hydroponics tower - not a bad project for starting 3d printing, though I still struggle with the stringy aspect of PETG... PLA is much easier to print with.

#Politics

With recent events, I think it's probably worth calling this out explicitly instead of merely doing it in secret.

Trump appears to pose not only a danger to democracy but an existential threat to our future.

@pythonbytes hard to find good articles, but perhaps this is worth covering (especially if the show has any good contacts to verify). Google has apparently laid off its python team after record profits and their first dividend issuance.

The year is 2043. Democracy has been defended, climate change has ravaged the world, but we're fighting back strongly.

...and NPR has revealed its new super, somehow even whiter and brighter, mobile theme to go along with its current only other theme.

I have to say, going back to school for your masters is truly a wake-up call in terms of waking up that portion of your brain that you forgot you had in high school and college.

I'm so much more disciplined now, but so much less able to absorb information rapidly. Hopefully, those balance out. 😅

I think the biggest takeaway from the #uv news is that... you won't get messages about having to upgrade #pip /s #python

Like, an upholstered board that goes next to my couch, and my cat actually wants to claw at it (the most important bit).

Received an RTL usb antenna as a gift and successfully set it up in #HomeAssistant... but I didn't think about the fact that my condo is surrounded by homes with the same water meter.

Whatever you celebrate (or don't) - I hope you have a wonderful time of the year, and have a happy new year.

I hope people are kind to you, and you are kind to others. Life isn't a zero-sum game - we just need to be kind, empathetic, and ethical.

The head cold I had turned out to be covid - I never had time to get my covid booster (really, my own fault).

It is seriously murder on your sinuses - and knocked me out for an entire day plus.

Definitely don't recommend it.

I typically love cooler weather, but I'm not sure if this is aging or covid related, but between sinusitis and a chest cold - I certainly wish it were warming up now.

Of course, my body also waited until the day I decided to take my final to start feeling sick. 😒
