Does anyone have a good solution for handling bash history?
What (I think) I want:
- History search for each shell searches the history of that shell first, then all other shells' history.
- I don't want to lose history from windows opened in tmux or when I'm running a bunch of shells in parallel.
What I don't care about:
- Syncing history
- Fuzzy search
What I don't want:
- Mandatory full-screen history search
This post basically describes my approach to understanding computers (and to doing physics):
https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2023/05/30/eng/
- watch / poke / use system
- develop mental model of why it is
- find where that model breaks and you can not predict what the system does correctly
The places where your mental model and reality are wrong are the most interesting and productive things to look at!
Do you use #linux and #keepassxc?
I am wondering if you also see this behavior: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/9438#issuecomment-1564883094
If you don't, what OS and desktop environment are you using?
Next, GitHub will be removing support for Python 2.7 from actions/setup-python in under a month, on 19th June. 🪦
"Breaking changes
"Hello everyone. The Python 2.7.x will be removed from python-versions and it won't be possible to set up Python 2.7.x by setup-python.
"The motivation for the changes
"Python2.7 is not supported since January 1, 2020."
This is the one place where ChatGPT has seemed useful to me, by the way. When I try and use it for anything Python-related, it's worse than useless because I know Python stuff *way* better than ChatGPT, and it's faster for me to just do it myself anyway.
When I'm trying to get a handle on super basic questions, ChatGPT seems to be kind of OK at explaining things in such a way as to unblock me.
Not that I think that there's something we or they could be doing a ton better. I'm sure there are reasons for why it's all confusing and disorienting.
Spending time trying to contribute to open source Android applications really brings me a lot of empathy for new Python users.
I barely understand what I'm doing. The packaging ecosystem seems complicated and I don't understand it. When I try and upgrade versions a bunch of stuff breaks. The documentation refers to a bunch of stuff I don't understand, and seems relevant only to newer code bases.

Long shot, but anyone with Android / Android Auto experience know what's going on here?

I'm over the moon that the #Python helper function I write more than _any_ other, `chunks`, is coming to the stdlib in 3.12 as `itertools.batched(iterable, n)`! It takes a long iterable and yields chucks (or batches) of length `n`.
I think I've pasted the same Stackoverflow snippet into... 10 projects at this point? So this is huge for me.

Carter's has this shirt for kids, but I can't find an adult version anywhere. Trying to tell Amazon or a search engine that it's important that the shirt have all three colors (much less in a specific order) seems impossible.
@mjgardner @icing actually, being liberal in accepting things is not a good idea either. If it violates the protocol, eject, close, kill, abort. At once. That leads to better code and protocols in the longer run.
Today's my last day at Google 🥲
I'm taking some time off to focus on my family, personal health, and to work on my bots.
If anyone knows of a role that'll fit me, I'll appreciate the intro! 😊
It's relatively easy to make a drop-in replacement for these, but also we're deprecating them because they're conceptually the wrong thing to do, so it's best to migrate to using aware datetimes if possible: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2019/11/utcnow.html
`datetime.utcnow` and `datetime.utcfromtimestamp` will be deprecated in #python 3.12: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103857
If you maintain a package, now is probably a good time to grep your source code for `utcnow` and `utcfromtimestamp` to get out ahead of the deprecation warnings. 📅🕐
