My post's link is to the original blog URL that you point to, I just mentioned the author's Mastodon post where I ran first saw a reference to the blog post.

🤦‍♂️, because I'm impatient and clicked on the wrong square one time.

That took longer than it should have. 😬

This proved to be a fair amount of work, absent a bot of some sort that I haven't had time to create yet.

So, I failed toward just including events in the sidebar, with a link to python.org's Event Calendar.

Wooooo!

Rarity score:

• 607p UTC: 175
• 829p UTC: 176

Got lucky getting 4 of 7 columns right on my first guess, helped a ton. By the time you factor in bats/throws, because there are only two possible values, it was really 6 of 7 columns. So everything but team.

Got lucky on this one!

Gah, up to 315 318 now.

Agreed! That's the way we do work projects. For personal stuff, I also like using pyenv. But yeah, that's it, keep it nice and simple.

This also seems to be new ...

Struggled with the Angels players. 😕

I took a look around over at programming.dev, but couldn't find a C-specific community. Although we do have these (semi-) related communities:

• !cpp@programming.dev
• !csharp@programming.dev

You can also request new communities in !community_request@programming.dev . Oh man, I was totally wrong. Check out !c_lang@programming.dev !

There's also !data_engineering@programming.dev , over at programming.dev, which is a software engineering/prorgramming/computer science focused instance.

Heeeeey! It's not broken today.

Awesome, appreciate the data point! I'm going to show it off at our next Show and Tell at work and try to get some folks to try it out for data exploration and analysis.

First, I have to apologize, I just meant post a link to NestText as a post in c/Python. I definitely didn't mean to imply you should have to go write a blog post (or something) about it just for me. I swear this was just an attempt to get another person posting interesting things to c/Python. 😬

Looking through the community projects and docs, the use cases/tooling that really stood out to me were:

• parametrize_from_file, for defining pytest parametrize params in a file
• validating NestedText content with Pydantic, particularly something like the example Django settings they provide

Thinking about how I might use it:

• Meeting notes
• A personal log of todo items, observations, feelings during the day
• Scoring a baseball game using a more sane version of Retrosheet's Event File format
• A possible human AND machine readable format for Architectural Decision Records

No worries! Daily life is more important than a baseball community bot. Sorry I didn't catch it sooner.

@headie_sage@fanaticus.social , just noticed that the gameday bot failed to run for !chicubs@fanaticus.social today. :/
