I've added another script to my bikeStats Python scripts. It's all pretty simple stuff, but maybe someone will find it useful.
I need to clean up and release all the bike mapping GPX stuff I've been working on lately as well.

Cursed #Python on #Windows fact:
It is possible to create a file on a system where Long Paths are enabled that is entirely valid, but which `open()` cannot read.
I don't think I've ever stumbled on it, but each "component" (thingy-between-backslashes) in a Windows path is separately limited, usually to 255 bytes.
It is definitely possible to make a file with a filename longer than this through the GUI (i.e. copy 'a'*1024 onto the clipboard, "New File", and paste), but I don't know how this works in the #Win32 API. Maybe the "real" component is the equivalent "short" name and there's some metadata storing the pretty version.
I took the liberty of adding @kevinrenskers "Django views versus the Zen of Python" to the https://github.com/filiplajszczak/awesome-zen-of-python list #django #python #zenofpython
Anyone QA/Dev experience near or willing to move to Northeast #Arkansas, USA (close to Memphis, TN). Reach out privately, my employer is hiring and they asked us to recommend people if we know anyone with skill. We're hiring for an onsite position with occasional remote work.

The 'AI mania' train just hit a speed bump! CoreWeave's Core Scientific acquisition went bust, hinting at an 'AI bubble.' But plot twist: they pivoted and bought Python notebook Marimo. What's your take on these market shifts? Is it a bubble, or just strategic chess?

AI mania tanks CoreWeave’s Core Scientific acquisition — it buys Python notebook Marimo

so #Python does not have a built in str() equivalent (in #RStats )?
