I just learned this week about the Global PyLadies Conference—happening virtually this Fri & Sat Dec 5th and 6th.
And Dawn Wages @BajoranEngineer is one of the keynoters!
And Dingding Lu + Gauri Kasar (who I know from the Postgres team on Azure) are teaching a 1.5 hour workshop titled "Build Agentic AI with Semantic Kernel and Graph RAG on PostgreSQL" (on Sat Dec 6th at 10am PST)
I suppose it's not a surprise to see #PostgreSQL at a #Python conference!
If you're just learning about this PyLadies conference, check out the schedule! And here is the link to Dingding and Gauri's workshop re Postgres: https://pretalx.com/pyladiescon-2025/talk/QSJHYR/

First desktop-ish app in 10+, maybe 20+ years? Python with tkinter. Just runs some xinput and xrandr commands for my Asus Duo to override what it thinks it should be doing. My typing is so much better without a trackpad. Got more to do and learn, but that's a win for today. Got other stuff to do. #python #debian13 #asusduo #asus

I hereby declare a 6,666% tariff on all annotations imported from the future.
🌗 Multivox:驅動體積顯示器的開源代碼
➤ 開源驅動體積顯示器,從硬體到互動式應用
✤ https://github.com/AncientJames/multivox
AncientJames 在 GitHub 上開源了一個名為 Multivox 的項目,旨在驅動其自製的體積顯示器。該項目支援兩種配置:Rotovox(400mm 圓球,垂直排列的兩個 128x64 面板)和 Vortex(300mm 圓球,水平背對背排列的兩個 128x64 面板)。硬體部分假設使用兩個 HUB75 LED 面板,透過 GPIO 進行旋轉同步,並運行於 Raspberry Pi 4。軟體架構分為驅動程式和客戶端,驅動程式在共用記憶體中創建體積緩衝區並與旋轉同步掃描輸出,客戶端則產生內容寫入緩衝區。專案包含多種應用程式,如實時渲染、模擬器,以及遊戲,並能透過藍牙遊戲控制器進行互動。
+ 這個項目太酷了!看到有人能自己打造出這樣的體積顯示器,並且還開源出來,真是讓人驚嘆。我對 Vortex 的 3D 列印零件很感興趣。

for/else is one of my favorite things in #Python. Makes it so easy to handle when the loop didn't find what it was looking for.
Integration tests are great at catching the problems you can predict. But the ones you can't? Those show up at 2am.

#AdventOfCode Day 3 - Part 1 was nice (find the max, from there find the next max), and Part 2 was an extension to subsets.
But it felt brute-force-ish, a bit disappointed in myself, but am already behind two days so this'll do for now😅

So I figured out my first #GeometryNodes project. A modifier that distributes cubs onto the side of the road.
At times it feels like #python would be way simpler. Yet in the end of the day, because it is a modifier, it is very cool.

🐍 Python y Bases de Datos
Python es ideal para la administración de bases de datos. Con librerías como Psycopg2 (PostgreSQL), MySQLdb, o el ORM SQLAlchemy, puedes automatizar tareas como backups, migraciones, generación de reportes, y monitoreo. Su sintaxis clara hace que la manipulación de datos y la gestión del esquema sea más eficiente.

Content warning:Advent of Code Solution - Day 4 (Python)
I was worried that this would be pathfinding. Thankfully it was not pathfinding. Was definitely a fun problem, and I used more than a couple of comprehensions to get this done.
