PSA: Because of how Python's enum.Enum implements nominal typing and how Python imports work, it risks seemingly mundane refactorings causing var == FooEnum.Bar comparisons to start to mysteriously fail when PyQt and Qt Designer's "Promote..." feature are involved. If you don't need such strict nominal typing, using enum.IntEnum to relax the equality comparison will avoid that source of footguns.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6
I just noticed Inkscape's new context menus and I'm frustrated. How is it that GNOME devs continuously find new ways to make non-GNOME GTK applications with no viable replacements increasingly alien on non-GNOME desktops?
