@garrett Unfortunately the same issues are present in the on premise fosdem Wifi this year :/

@hugovk ha, funny.
I’ve been running a simple web redirector for years to make looking up PEPs simpler.

E.g https://pep.fyi/8

PEP 8 – Style Guide for Python Code | peps.python.org

This document gives coding conventions for the Python code comprising the standard library in the main Python distribution. Please see the companion informational PEP describing style guidelines for the C code in the C implementation of Python.

Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs)

Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:

Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.

Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

In one day - one day! - of going open source, the Typst typesetting system passed 5,000 stars on Github.

If you ever needed evidence that there is a real hunger for a TeX replacement, this is it.

@formschub andere haben es ja schon angesprochen (WLTP vs. Realität), aber hier mal ein Praxisbeispiel:
Ein elektrischer Smart Fortwo hat eine WLTP Reichweite von 153 km.
Von Mainz nach Frankfurt und zurück sind es 80km. Sollte also locker drin sein.
Im Sommer schafft man es gerade so. Im Winter keine Chance, da bleibt man auf dem Rückweg auf halber Strecke liegen.

Von daher müsste man die Werte im oberen Diagramm mindestens um 1/3 kürzen.

@zerok finde Hass Avocados auch immer lustig 😆
A thing about Mastodon that I didn't realize I'd missed from pre-algorithm Twitter is the sheer randomness of the content. No longer honed to be hyper-engaging (usually by being scary or enraging) I now see weird experiments, fun scientific papers, random shitposts. Of course it's not all exactly in my wheelhouse, but that makes it simultaneously more *interesting* while being less *addictive*. The whole experience feels a lot healthier for my brain.

@Gte it’s not as if the problem wasn’t known 10+ years ago…

@zerok a completely black Apple thermos flask (original merch, bought at the 1 Infinite Loop store a long time ago).
Now it’s a partially black, partially peeled Apple thermos flask 😒.
