🚨 Breaking news! 🚨 A brave soul has distilled the essence of #GPT into a mere 200 lines of #Python, heroically defying the tyranny of libraries and dependencies. Prepare to be dazzled by a script so minimal, it trains on baby names like it's the 19th century 📜—because apparently, #efficiency is for the weak. 🤦♂️💡

3/3 #BSD offers libcitrus. #musl C library includes support and gettext-tiny makes use of musl to provide a lightweight alternative for embedded systems. There are #C, #Perl and #Python versions of msgfmt. I'm learning more about the format by writing my own msgfmt utility. #DFD2026

I just released ryl 0.3.5 to PyPi and Crates.io - (now tested against several larger repos that were heavy yamllint users) and resolved several bugs and behaviour discrepancies with yamllint. #python #rust #yaml

Python Tip #60 (of 365):
Be cautious of "if" expressions in comprehensions
An "if" expression in a "for" loop can look confusing:
sanitized = [n if n > 0 else 0 for n in counts]
That "else" isn't part of the comprehension. It's just inline "if" expression.
I find this a bit more readable:
sanitized = [
n if n > 0 else 0
for n in counts
]
But that could still be misunderstood.

Python Tip: pathlib > os.path
from pathlib import Path
config = Path.home() / '.config' / 'app.json'
if config.exists():
data = config.read_text()
pathlib provides an object-oriented filesystem API. Cleaner than os.path string juggling.

Python Tip: any() and all()
nums = [2, 4, 6, 8]
all_even = all(n % 2 == 0 for n in nums) # True
has_big = any(n > 5 for n in nums) # True
any() and all() short-circuit on generators. Elegant replacement for loop-based checks.
