Asked about this on twitter and someone helped me debug it, it turns out the issue was that the .target was outliving the services it’s grouping, so the .timer thought there was nothing to do:

Seems someone submitted my article on Hamming numbers to reddit and it got a lot of upvotes but zero comments: https://teddit.net/r/Python/comments/q3xryc/paul_ganssle_generating_ksmooth_numbers_in_python/
Probably for the best, but it kinda feels like when you give a talk and get zero questions at the end…

@cnx and @huy_ngo will be presenting the floating cheeses at PyData Global 2021: https://pydata.org/global2021/schedule/presentation/37/towards-collaborative-reproducibility-pinning-repository-of-binary-distributions
As the conference's name suggests, the talk shall target data scientists. A more generic talk at the first #PackagingCon ever was also accepted and is to be announced as soon as the schedule is published.
Fediverse folks, we are looking forward to seeing you in the conference. If you want to attend either of the talks but cannot afford the tickets, please contact us in private (via Matrix or emails) for assistance.

Trying to set up a single timer that rebuilds all my websites at some regular interval, but I can only ever get it to trigger once using the only method I’ve found to do it.
My “short” blog post on generating regular numbers in Python, finally available only 7 months after I started writing it 😅: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/regular-numbers-in-python.html
“Awesome, do you get to choose the color of the lasers?”
“I should back up a second.”
If you went back in time to the 1980s and told people that something called “Laser Eye Surgery” was going to be commonplace, I imagine they’d be very disappointed when they found out what it actually is.

@pganssle Pawpaw has a decent popularity in Louisville. People sell jams and breads made with it at fairs in the fall.
Looks like they are temporarily out of stock: https://earthy.com/products/fresh-pawpaws-from-earthy-delights
PSA: It is currently pawpaw season. I found out about these things a few months ago and ordered some from Earthy Delights, and they are delicious!
I’m really sad that they are only available for a few weeks each year.
How about a chart of fraction of people with X complication after Y period of time? How are millions of people getting this surgery without being able to make a realistic assessment of their risks?
I “love” how every website I find about LASIK complications says something like, “20-40% of people experience dry eyes, which usually peaks around 3 months and disappears within 6-12 months, except for a small number of people who have it forever.”
How small is that number‽

https://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2021/09/ A few new blog posts in Sept:
* what's hard about talking about learning & teaching (like our unreliable memories)
* police, the future, & biometric security, and the nuances of risk in the US
* let's increase access to free city-run COVID tests in #NYC

About 10-12 years ago, I was super hopeful about the promise of open university courses. I taught myself economics and many other subjects by carving out some time each day to watch a 30 minute video, take notes and do some homework.
The catalogs from many universities were already quite large at the time and I figured that in time you’d be able to get something close to a full undegraduate degree’s worth of classes at home from watching videos.
I am very sad that MOOCs (synchronous, time-limited, graded courses behind walled gardens) sucked so much air out of the room.

Reaching out to the fediverse yet again to ask if anyone knows any good tutorials for getting started with website deployment? Especially in regard to reverse proxy, ddns, and CA cert, SSH key, or PKI cert based user authentication?
Has anyone got a list of questions I can ask a potential fitness trainer to ascertain whether or not they are likely to be in one of the more science-based fitness camps?
Every time I try to read a book on fitness, it’s all, “The one simple trick to get ripped abs with zero effort!” I want a fitness coach with a pragmatic, skeptical point of view.

as an asian, i can’t see anything wrong with this, @pganssle
So, basically this permanent sign is advertising that all the sushi comes with math homework?

new #covid #covid19 blog post https://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2021/08/25/0 The Delta Variant, Better Masks, and Free Testing
I am concerned about COVID-19 trends; particularly if you are in the US you should be aware and make/modify plans accordingly. Some of this post is New York City-specific.
