I'm not a professional programmer but I got to give my first ever presentation to a developer audience last week at the Seattle Rust User Group.
It is a talk for Rust beginners and a story about what I learned by porting my friend's 2004 Tetris / Mega Man 2 mash up game from Python 2.3 to Rust for a surprise on his birthday.

Today I learned about SQL Pipe syntax and the transpiler sqlglot (https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot) which lists Sqlite as one of the supported dialects and is a Python library.

Getting closer! I’ve got multiple pie charts running and soon I’ll add geomapping + more features. I plan to open-source everything so anyone can recreate this with pfSense, Grafana, OpenSearch, and Logstash. #Cybersecurity #Homelab #Python #OpenSearch #Grafana

Finished my last #AdventOfCode2023 solution writeup! Finally using this neat line-labels feature.
I'll have to call it here before starting with the ones from 2024, or else I won't be on time for #AdventOfCode this year! I just gotta figure out how to make it auto-update...

I've been working on Ganzua, a #Python tool that helps with uv/Poetry dependency updates. For example, you can get a Markdown table showing differences between two lockfile versions, or bump pyproject.toml constraints after an update.

My #Python Black Friday sale came early.

#ScribesAndMakers Nov 24. If you're a coder, do you also code in your spare time? If you're not a coder, would you want to learn how if you had the time?
Coding was my job for about 25 years. Then I somehow slipped into other IT realms. I still build things for myself because I love programming (I'm old, I still call it that).
Let no one try to take Python or my GNU COBOL compiler from me. Things would get ugly
The #SageMath package for the Kronecker and fermionic moment cones by M. Bulois, R. Denis, N. Ressayre now runs in #Python, using the modularized distributions of the Sage library from the passagemath project.

Note to self:
When doing positional placement in a terminal window using escape codes, like this:
sys.stdout.write(f"\x1b[{row};{col}H")
it really helps to use integers instead of floating point numbers, otherwise the terminal emulation software will most likely not do what you expect.
That's <more minutes than I will admit> of my life I will never get back. :D
Been working on a Suricata dashboard for my pfSense firewall in Grafana. Got it running with OpenSearch + Logstash, though I may revisit it with Graylog later. I’ll open-source it once I’m happy with the results but here is a small taste. #Cybersecurity #Homelab #Python
