That’s what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesn’t really “hit” them. They’ve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, it’s all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. ☹️ And that’s my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something “low-level” like that. And I truly believe that you *need* to understand things like pointers in order to program, in general.

The community is heavily divided in this regard, and yet we need consensous. We’re like the three Borg in VOY: Survival Instinct). 🥴

00:30 (_midnight_) for a P2 incident that is now resolved at 02:10 🤯 Obviously I'm not going to work tomorrow (_I mean today lol 😂_) at the usual start time 🤦♂️_
git pull on one of my repos – once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times *per month*.So far, this isn’t causing any issues. I *think* this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I *hope* this doesn’t mean that the “AI” bots have finally discovered my page …

yarnd very soon™ for this change, with a if the date is >= 2025-07-01 then compute_new_hashes else compute_old_hashes
tt2 from @lyse and Twtxtory from @javivf?
7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (_oops_) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That _ought_ to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update~
twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience
yarnd now "sees" both every single time, where-as before it would just obliterate the old Twt, but remain in archive. Now you get to see both 😅 Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it certainly makes it much clearer how to write "code logic" for detecting edits and doing something more UX(y) about 'em 🤔

It's been a community adventure to explore the whole DM/encryption thing. So the community can do with it whatever they want. 😎
The teacher didn't appreciate it much since I had to print out the code to turn it in. My Yatzee game was a stack of pages. 🤪

I have to think about the case of the complex body... the body should be the key in that case. But then, removing stuff will be harder.

Episode 8, with Mojdeh Rastgoo:
https://pypodcats.live/episodes/ep-8/
«We interviewed Mojdeh Rastgoo, the newest member of PyPodcats!
Since discovering Python and the open-source community, Mojdeh has been actively involved in the Python ecosystem. She gave her first tutorial in 2018 at EuroSciPy and has since contributed in many ways. She is a member of the PSF Code of Conduct Working Group, a co-organizer of PyLadies Paris, and now a host of PyPodcats!
In this episode, Mojdeh shares more about herself and her passion for the community. We also take a look back at 2024, discuss our plans for 2025, and introduce a few new changes, including our Open Collective account, where you can support us.
Be sure to listen to the episode to hear about our plans and get to know your new host Mojdeh!»
begin and end blocks for ifs or loops. For example I always thought that I needed to have a button somewhere, even if hidden. That gave me a handler procedure where I could put code and somehow call it. Two or three years later, a new mate from the parallel class finally told me that this wasn't necessary and how to do thing better.You know all too well that back in the day there was not a whole lot of information out there. And the bits that did exist were well hidden. At least from me. Eventually discovering planet-quellcodes.de (I don't remember if that was the original forum or if that got split off from some other board) via my best schoolmate was like finding the Amber Room. Yeah, reading the ITG book would have been a very good idea for sure. :-)
In hindsight, a console program without the UI overhead might have been better. At least for the very start. Much less things to worry about or get lost.
Hence, I'd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice, it doesn't require a lot of surrounding boilerplate like, say Java or Go. It also does exceptionally well in the principle of least surprise.
I came across an unfortunately dead salamander on the forest road, some fenced in deer, heaps of sheep, some unmagnetic cows (some were aligned very roughly north-south, but mainly with the axis of the best view I believe), a maybeetle and finally an awesome sunset. Not too shabby! The sheep were mehing all the time, that was really lovely to hear. And the crickets were already active, too. Didn't expect them to hear yet. I tried to record the concert, but the wind messed it all up. Oh well.

I don't want to keep extra data structures to track the simulation objects to draw. I tried both extending and monkey patching either body or shape objects to be "drawable" so I can just iterate the native pymunk structures and ask stuff to draw themselves (would be nice, huh?), but there is always some snag. If I extend shape classes, I stumble on the complex objects with many shapes drawn with divisions. If I extend the Body class, the problem is static objects have shapes but share a virtual constant body, more of a flag, so I can't add anything to it, so back to keeping track of a separate list of static shapes… Then performance & serialization issues, I want to be able to easily pickle simulations, but if I add Py5Shape objects to the extended/modified classes they become unpickable...
I have bigger fishes to fry right now (the paralyzing PhD) but this is something I would like to pair with someone more experienced to work on.
