I wonder if the most common version of Python is 3.12 because that's the default for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and maybe other distros too.

I wonder if the most common version being 3.12 has to do with being the default version for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, for example. Probably similar with other Linux distros.

Solutions tend to come to me in the car, out for a walk, or in the shower. 😀

I saw something a week or two ago on @pythonbytes.fm about an AI or LLM tool that would create a commit message for you. Maybe that'd be a fun next step.

It's been years since I read that. Maybe I'll work it in again. It's a pretty quick read as I recall.

If you want a huge shock watch some episodes of All In The Family. You know it's coming, but you're still pretty shocked.

One frustrating thing with Libby is sometimes you will wait a long time with a book on hold. I am 12th in line for the audio book Four Thousand Weeks (at Brian's recommendation, thank you) and I've had it on hold since 12/2/2024. Yikes!

I read magazines, books, and listen to audio books using the Libby app on my phone and tablet, and the Libby website.

Eagles have two in the top ten. Pretty awesome, even if one of them is a greatest hits.

Especially when good coding practice is to indent anyway.

I can understand where you're coming from. But. I have no doubt it has been done from personal experience. There is just no chance I would be shown one thing in particular if it were not the case.

Also, ad targeting is not that good. Evidence: I keep seeing Apple ads. I'm a well-known Apple hater.
