Yesterday's thread: https://programming.dev/post/149419

It's like Wordle, there's only one puzzle per day and it's for a specific active player.

Went looking through redball's forks and think I found yours, but wanted to be sure. Is this the correct fork/branch you're working on, https://github.com/benja810/redball/tree/lemmy-game-threads?

Ugh, my apologies folks. Clearly still figuring out how to do this Lemmy/Mastodon federation thing.

Thank you, much appreciated!

FWIW, I was told that c/Django was also submitted but still isn't visible yet when I look. So the manual review but sounds accurate.

Also trying out Today in Python!. I accidentally launched the first one early, in that I posted about 20 June 2023 on 19 June 2023. Whoops.

Next experiment is Talk Tuesday where each top-level comment is about a particular conference talk that a commenter liked and why they like it.

Another one of my favorite conference talks comes from DjangoCon 2012. It's a keynote in the DjangoCon tradition of "Why I Hate Django". This one is called Why I Think Django Is Presently on a Collision Course with Extinction by Geoff Schmidt, one of the co-creators of Meteor.

This was my first DjangoCon and my first "Why I Hate Django" talk.

My favorite PyCon talk comes from, who else, Raymond Hettinger at PyCon US 2013 and is titled Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python.

I had been a Python developer for maybe a year-and-half at this point and was starting to grok some more advanced concepts. But, I remember walking out of that talk thinking about how excited Raymond was about Python and how to make Python code beautiful. I'm sure I've forgotten a few, but most everything I learned about in that talk (like context managers, looping over dictionary key/value pairs, counting with dictionaries, and decorators) have all really stuck with me and influenced how I tackle problems.

Obfuscated code is often code-golfed. Might find some interesting nuggets here when the competition ends.

Ah, I am seeing that now, thanks!

I'm not sure if that was there originally and I just missed it or if Lemmy added it later when it got around to it.

Hey @chaoticAnimals@programming.dev, my apologies for not getting back to this. kickstart.nvim that @howerddo@programming.dev mentions is exactly what I was thinking and is probably much better thought out.

I used Lemmy's cross-post functionality, but it doesn't seem to have marked it?! Original post is https://lemmy.ml/post/1213162

I raise you

    
@lambda _: _()
def result() -> int:
    global a; global b; a, b = b, a

Derp, it's the 19th, not the 20th! 🤦

I guess I'll leave this up for today and tomorrow at this point.

Thought I would also keep track of things we experiment with here. The first is Media Mondays where we track podcast and video episode from the community over the last week.

Seems like that would be useful in the IOPCC.

I'm sure I'm doing this wrong but ... that sure does look shwell!
