If your program is leaking memory (or CUDA memory, or file descriptors, or really any limited resource), one way to identify the problem is to use your test suite to identify specific problem APIs. I demonstrate this using pytest fixtures:

@rixx Possibly this? https://testmon.org/
@rixx This sounds super familiar, @brianokken might know offhand?
@brettcannon Thank you for your efforts with this. I feel like I want to boost this because you posted it to publicize it, but I feel like the relevant people have already weighed in and people will adopt whatever you do, so even though I don't plan to participate myself, I am vicariously exhausted just thinking about this thread getting a big audience. 😛
@simon You may also want to note that this changes the semantics of your `datetime` object, which is why we didn't just make `datetime.utcnow()` an alias for `datetime.now(UTC)`. If you change it you have to change it everywhere, and make sure all the datetimes you are consuming from other libraries are also aware.
(Also in the second example you have `import python` instead of `import datetime`).
@pradyunsg @brettcannon @kevin @tintvrtkovic I can't tell if that is right. I distinctly remember that Ruby used to be a pain like Python was (requiring a compiler, etc), and then they had a change similar to our change with wheels that made it not a pain.
I just created a bundle with `nokogiri` and `sqlite3` and this was included in the verbose output:
```
Fetching racc 1.8.1
Fetching sqlite3 2.4.1 (x86_64-linux-gnu)
Installing racc 1.8.1 with native extensions
Installing sqlite3 2.4.1 (x86_64-linux-gnu)
Fetching nokogiri 1.17.1 (x86_64-linux)
Installing nokogiri 1.17.1 (x86_64-linux)
Bundle complete! 2 Gemfile dependencies, 4 gems now installed.
Bundled gems are installed into `./.vendor/bundle`
```
That makes me think that `racc` has native code that needed to be compiled, but `sqlite3` and `nokogiri` had some pre-built binaries available. Maybe a #ruby person can chime in if I'm misunderstanding it.
@jscholes Actually my cards are mostly audio based as well because I've been using comprehensible input and there was a recommendation to avoid reading in the target language until fairly late in the process.
The cards are pretty Android specific and they currently only read the Spanish part, but they might be a good starting point. DM me your info and I can try to send you some of my stuff.
@brettcannon @kevin @pradyunsg @tintvrtkovic Looking into it a bit, seems like Ruby definitely has equivalent of a wheel ("native gems" I think they are called) and npm has something like this as well, looking at this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/prebuild
@brettcannon @kevin @pradyunsg @tintvrtkovic Ruby has some equivalent thing I think, no? Is that what a gem is?
@somafm Instead of removing emojis, why not replace them with the canonical name from the Unicode standard?
@itamarst Reading "Guns of the South"?
Is there a good library out there in Python that provides a simple abstraction over the major LLM providers, such that it's easy for me to swap out which one I'm using for a given project?
I find myself writing my own version of this because each of the LLMs have strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes for a project I want to test them all out before committing to use a specific one.
A few months back I looked at @simon's `llm`, but from what I could tell it was mostly wrapping ChatGPT or compatible APIs, and I wasn't sure how to use it for everything.

¿Me podrían recomendar blogs, glosarios u otros recursos con terminología tecnológica en español? Quiero aprender a comunicar conceptos sobre programación, redes, seguridad, "open source", "dev ops", accesibilidad, etcétera.
Can anyone recommend blogs, glossaries and other resources with technological terminology in Spanish? I want to learn to communicate about concepts in programming, networking, security, open source, dev ops, accessibility, etc.
If you are learning Spanish like me, just remember that *ser* is for permanent characteristics like your job title or the location of a party, whereas *estar* is for transitory conditions like death or the location of Barcelona.

Spanish often has an H where most other Romance languages have an F.
Take 'hijas' (daughters) vs. French 'filles', Italian 'figlie', Portuguese 'filhas'.
In Old Spanish, Latin [f] became an [h] sound.
Later, this sound disappeared.

A thread: 1/
I was explaining retirement to my son today and he said, "Oh, I might not ever have to work."
"Why not?"
"I am going to ask Santa for $2M this year. Then I'll be able to retire."
"Hmm.. I have never heard of Santa giving anyone enough money to retire on, to be honest. And $2M might not be enough..."
I noticed that he and my wife made the list today and he has now upped the request to $2B. Go big or go home, I guess. 😅
