From the NYT obit: “After ‘The Elephant Man,’ Mr. Lynch was asked by Mr. Lucas to direct ‘Return of the Jedi.’”
Oh, what could have been.
Ewok fever dreams.

Just want to give a shout out to the typed-ffmpeg Python package. It's good at what it does, and the developer has been so responsive and a joy to work with. Definitely made my work easier.

In May I bought a refurbished snow blower, and I've been eagerly awaiting snow ever since. The snow arrived (and how!), and the machine worked...poorly.
On inspection, the auger blades are mounted in reverse 🤦

Transducers are a really interesting idea, and @robert.smallshire.no has put together a really nice course exploring them through the lens of #Python. It's free over on @tubetrain.io!
Over 45 minutes of free-as-in-beer tutorial on a powerful functional programming technique called “transducers” – transform reducers. Grok transducers by implementing them from scratch, in Python.

Anyone have experience with OTC hearing aids? I'm apparently not clinically in need of hearing aids, but I definitely suffer in some situations (lots of background noise with multiple languages, in particular). Guidance or suggestions would be great!

We are very exited to share with you PEP 768 🐍, which proposes a safe external debugger interface to Python. We think this is a really exciting change that would allow debuggers and tools to safely attach to running Python processes without stopping or restarting them. 🔨🐛

Prompted by a question in class today, I learned that if the expression following `raise` in Python is a class (not an instance), "...the exception instance will be obtained when needed by instantiating the class with no arguments." Something new every day.

A captcha on X had me seriously questioning my humanity today. We're approaching the point where *only* computers will be able to pass these things.
They need to get back to the basics like, asking me to explain why I won't flip over the stupid tortoise.

We're in an interesting position at work where we're a) developing training material covering DDD and event sourcing and b) the software we're building to do this uses event sourcing and DDD. These halves influence each other in a largely virtuous cycle, and it can be quite beautiful!
