cibuildwheel ( https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ ) makes this fairly straightforward.

Correct. Keys must be immutable and hashable.

No analogy is perfect. They are intended to help illustrate a concept to gain insight. Ideally when using an analogy its limits should also be described. Luckily the very first lin…

Makes me think of Fakeblock.

The bang syntax works though: `!wv malta` sends me to the Wikivoyage page on Malta.

The difference is simple: NBC was (and still is) free to watch if you have a television and an antenna.

My understanding was that if you write a regular function (`def` rather than `async def`) then FastAPI (or really Starlette which it uses under the hood) executes the function in a…

They compare PyPy and CPython in their benchmarks.

If for no other reason, pytest requires a lot less boilerplate. Pytest fixtures are also quite a bit more flexible than unittest's setUp and tearDown methods, although they take a …

Matplotlib's main API is pretty terrible. But it's just fine for the simple plots that scientists and engineers are often needing (e.g., just plot y vs. x). It's also pretty straig…

This looks pretty cool.

> Don't the screen developers ever need to go to the beginning of a line in the shell or editor? C-a a. Using emacs with screen for many years, this is almost automatic for me.

TortoiseHg is completely different than TortoiseGit, despite the similar names (and logos). While the latter is an assortment of context menus and dialogs, THG has this plus a grea…

Cython is intended for making Python extension modules. So if the end goal is to make something that you interact with only from Python, then Cython is a good choice. You can still…

I was a loyal Gnuplot user for many years until I got fed up with a bug where tick labels wouldn't be centered with ticks in LaTeX output without some manual hacks. I can see from …

I don't know, and I find this rather frustrating. I write a lot of tools to monitor devices in the lab via a web interface and often want to see updates every 10-100 ms. The only l…

I was using tmux for a while after years of using screen. At least for my use case, the main thing I liked better about tmux was that windows (or whatever the proper term is) get t…

Thanks for this. I had somehow never heard of this chip before. Link for the lazy: http://esp8266.net/

And yet we keep measuring what our models predict to extremely high levels of precision. We know there is something missing (gravity not playing nicely with quantum theory being th…
