#Makeheaders is a #C header file generator.
Makeheaders scans C or C++ source files for public definitions and creates header files containing prototypes for found definitions. Makeheaders enables integration of both the interface and implementation into a single file which is automatically expanded into the two files. Makeheaders is very fast, works with make, and can work as #Ctags.

Yes, you read that well
People who cross-post between twitter and mastodon in the browser - what do you use?
I usually cross-post with Twidere from my phone, but if I'm posting from my computer, would be good to be able to cross-post easily.
This post brought to you by excessively deeply-scrubbed and yet still green fingers.
Employees at the company that makes some egg dying kits:
#1: Where should we source the dye?
#2: Maybe we can get surplus dye from those dye packs they use in banks to permanently stain theives?
#1: Won't that stain our customers' hands and clothes?
#2: And the eggs!
My co-worker: Let me know if you have any questions.
Me: Oh, I have tons! First: would you rather be able to turn people into frogs, or frogs into people?

Heptapod 0.12.0 has been released earlier this week, featuring a huge #GitLab base version jump and more..
Putting together some notes on subtests: anyone have some particularly good examples? Particularly if you use pytest-subtests.
We know there's a lot of competition in this space, and appreciate your continued patronage of dateutil.easter.
P.S. The bug that that sometimes summons Lagothroptor the Forgotten has been recently fixed, so don't forget to upgrade!
Not sure when Easter is this year? Try dateutil.easter - the module that tells you when Easter is!
Trying to write a subinterpreter-compatible, subclassable Python C extension type that stores data on the class itself.
Why was "coronavirus disease" shortened to "COVID" and not "CORVID"? I suspect the influence of Big Crow.

I read this book this morning. There are a few minor quibbles that I have with it, but otherwise there are a ton of great cases for open borders in here.
Is this a bad time to try to introduce my cool new greeting, the "eye five"?
Possibly naïve question, but with universities moving to online-only classes, what are they doing for "wet" lab classes?
Are they just postponed for a semester? (If such a thing happened in my senior year I think it would have seriously messed up my plans...)
I was vaguely hoping I could get the steering council to accept PEP 615 during a DST transition, but I dawdled too long and it won't be ready tonight.
England doesn't start DST until March 29th, Australia's DST ends April 5th, so I guess those are my new goals.
