7 year old has written a wish list for Christmas already. It includes "a non laggy PC", "a mouse (not the pet kind)" and "anything I imagine comes true and I can enable and disable it".

My 4 year old has asked to stop aging and in fact he would like to be younger.

Glad to be raising ambitious kids.

@nedbat Do any of the itertools iterators expose stuff like that? My impression was that these things are supposed to be composed into pipelines in a sort of functional programming style, so the details of which one is the outermost container would be irrelevant and maybe bad practice to rely on.

TIL that, as of Python 3.13, virtual environments write their own .gitignore file. It adds a single line, consisting only of `*`.

Did you know this? Are you still adding `.venv/` to your own .gitignore files?

boosting from bsky where @buttondown 's @jmduke says:

"buttondown is very excited to sponsor @htmlenergy.bsky.social's HTML DAY this coming saturday. if you attend and DM me what you built I will comp you a year's subscription to Buttondown.

at the very least, you owe it to yourself to go to html.energy/html-day/2025/inde and click through to the very zine-core event sites, each of them more lovely than the last. (i am biased, but my favorite is seattle's)"

@kfogel @kevin Ok I was slightly wrong: nyc.gov/site/buildings/propert

Interesting grading scheme, where "D" is the worst score you can get if you submit any information and F means "no information", with an extra grade, N, which also means "no information" but this time it is OK because they were exempt from providing information.

A few more steps and those quiet and signaling NaNs can evolve like IEEE floats and there will be more "no information" grades than stars in the universe 😛

@kfogel @kevin Using one data point and not looking it up, I will extrapolate that this is a linear scale that starts at 0/A and goes to 100/Z. In such a scale anything between 11.5 and 15 would be a D, in which case maybe this building is extremely efficient.

The Toad is out of the bag! 🛍🐸

📣 Public Service Announcement to all our Spanish(-speaking) users 🇪🇸

Episodes from Radio Nacional de España cannot be downloaded. RNE decided to block our app specifically.

Journalist @james contacted the Director Radio of RTVE to ask for clarifications. In response, they have said they will 'review our case'. We are yet to receive a reply to the email we sent last week. Keep an eye out for updates on our social media.

@kevin Hearty American fish don't need to be coddled by living "under water".

@treyhunner @mitsuhiko I got 25/26. The only one that threw me was one that throws a `ValueError` and I thought it would throw `SyntaxError` if it were an error so I just guessed as to what it could mean.

@nitinkhanna I would say @brainwane is a great person to follow. She posts on an interesting variety of things and is a measured, patient thinker.

We've got a good-first bug for new contributors to Firefox: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.

If you're interested in writing a little bit of C++/HTML/JS to make your first contribution, let me know! I'd be happy to guide you through the whole process over chat or video call.

From working with podcast-index.org database to find podcasts, I have learned that for language codes:

ES = Spanish
ES_MX = Mexican Spanish
ES_ES = Double Spanish

(Apparently people don't realize that ES_ES is supposed to be "European Spanish", so when you filter by ES_ES you get podcasts from like wherever)

@sethmlarson Like the vast majority of podcasts, I made this with a couple of episodes and then forgot about it 😛

I have a vague idea to add an episode with a transcript at some point, and when I start get around to some projects I have where I want to work with podcast feeds it will probably drive me to add more features.

I have done nothing to make the contributor workflow good at all, but if you want to make a PR the repo is here:

github.com/pganssle/test-podca

Also feel free to fork it and create what would undoubtedly be a better and more popular version 😉

Hey everyone, I just started a podcast! It's called Test Podcast and it features highly compressible audio wrapped in a simple RSS feed that can be used for testing your RSS-feed consuming software.

You can find it at pganssle.github.io/test-podcas

Hey folks! Looking for leads on cheap places to stay in sept in Amsterdam, Berlin and Manchester. Thanks in advance!
