concerning expressions, C is also more convenient than python now, because it has statement expressions.

I have been beating my head on trying to get Flask-SocketIO to work with an existing #flask app and accept connections from a third-party origin.

I get 400 errors because the socket closes before a connection can be made. I've disabled CORS (local-only network) and have double checked that every library is compatible. Serving a websocket route from the app works, but it will not other hosts.

Anyone with experience able to take a look at a repo or offer insight?

RE: https://transfem.social/notes/a4imho4jra5v01up

Dear Fediverse, I am about to step up into my first role as a tech lead (*context in follow-up post) and would like to ask some questions to help me prepare & improve:

Groups:

• 🔵 Technical: Devs, DevOps, Infra
• 🟠 Product: Marketing, UX/Design, etc
• 🟣 Business: HR, management C-roles.

Questions:

1. What are your initial thoughts when you hear you'll be getting a new tech lead?
2. What are your hopes & expectations for them?
3. What are your concerns when a new "tech lead" is hired?
4. What changes do you hope for, or expect?

❗ Please add your colour to your reply & poll.

Lastly, if you have other advice for someone who wishes to be the best possible tech lead of their teams.

also missing: a string block where i don't have to take care of escapes

also shit: __pycache__ littering

working with python makes it painfully clear to me how many of these problems are fixed in Scopes.

no macros whatsoever in python also hurts bad. there's PEP 638 but it's going nowhere.

incredibly annoying.

In python 3 you can't modify a dictionary if you are iterating over it, e.g. using the keys. Because the "keys" method is now a view and updates when the dictionary changes.

So instead of:

for k in d.keys(): ...

you should do:

for k in list(d.keys()): ...

and then you can modify the dictionary if you want (e.g. del d[k] to remove an entry).

I really want to like #SolusLinux, as there's not a lot of good semi-rolling-release distros, but the fact that /usr/bin/python is symlinked to python2 gives me mega heebie-jeebies.

Guys, I don't mean to be rude. It's a wonderful distro made by wonderful people.

But PYTHON TWO? In 2025? That's a security jump-scare!

In other news, I tried getting #Pelican set up on the new machine and I feel like there's some kind of race condition.

The "pelican-statistics" plugin is supposed to add a dict of stats to the `article` object. Sometimes when building the site, it works. Other times, the build fails with an error that the dictionary doesn't exist.

I need to do more digging, but I'm baffled right now.

The ancient Babylonians had a way of calculating (really more like estimating) square roots.

There are a gazillion ways to do the initial "guess" Here we look for it's nearest-lower square, and then calculate the distance between them. Repeatedly.

--
def squareroute(s, tol=1e-10, max_it=100):
if s < 0:
raise ValueError("No negatives: {}".format(s))
s = float(s)
if s == 0:
return 0.0
g = 1.0

while g * g <= s:
g += 1.0
g -= 1.0

for _ in range(max_it):
new_g = (g + s / g) / 2.0
if abs(new_g - g) < tol:
return new_g
g = new_g
return g

zz = squareroute(50)

print(zz)

Challenge: Show off how you'd do the Babylonian Square Root algorithm, including in other languages.

Incidentally, you don't normally need 100 iterations. But as long as the tolerance is close, it'll stop way before then.

I did this in another comment in #commonlisp as well.
