working on my first pyside app. I am so so so slow at it. I feel like a programming toddler right now and I've been coding for like 18 years or something. GUI stuff just hits different.

There will be a time for doing more than this, but at the moment dissociation is all I can muster. Writing code is one of the ways I escape, and this week I started learning React and Next.js. I made a lot of progress, which is actually kind of a bad sign.

I'm a relatively new US citizen and voted in a federal election for the first time last week. I keep seeing news reports about record-breaking voter turnout and various voter turnout stats. But I was wondering about historical numbers at both the state and national levels. Turns out there's a site that provides a bunch of data: https://election.lab.ufl.edu/voter-turnout/

wow, memory profiling in python is wild. only very partially know what I'm doing. So far just using memory-profiler. Memray looks v cool but seems a little bit beyond my skill level currently. Maybe next week? ;-) #python #pycharm #memoryprofiling

Does anyone have recommendations on packages or approaches for time/memory profiling #Python code? I am looking at MemRay and cProfiler currently but pretty new to this. What has worked for you?

ok well. I guess I just needed a really long break due to a combination of life and US politics and world events being bonkers. I'm back. I'm ready to geek out on python things. (those other things are still all still ongoing, I'm just ready to maybe look at mastadon again?) HI
