Al Sweigart @AlSweigart, of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python fame, also wrote The Recursive Book of Recursion. The examples are in Python but are easy to adapt to other languages.

In a way it's the modern equivalent of the 1984 book Recursion via Pascal:

#Python developers, please.

I am BEGGING you.

PLEASE, do not ever automatically "fix" a problem by invoking pip. Give me an error message and suggest a command to me, if you think that command is appropriate.

I cannot overstate how badly this well-meaning but extremely poorly-implemented idea goes wrong when it does go wrong.

#ProxLB - A loadbalancer for Proxmox clusters!

The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. It is similar to VMware's DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduler) which allows you to balance your cluster by memory, CPU or local storage usage to ensure an equal distribution within the cluster. With affinity & anti-affinity groups you can also create groups where objects should be moved to a different groups as a whole unit or even forbid to be scheduled on the same node (e.g. HA setups).

You can find more information at GitHub: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB

people doing the most #AI research aren’t your run-of-the-mill software engineers; they don’t care about memory management, const references, and multiple inheritance. They want tools that allow them to visualize their data, put together an experiment in just a few lines of code, and interact with / alter their data and model without needing to recompile and rerun for every minor change.

#Python lets them do all this, C++ does not.

I just crafted the new #ProxLB 1.0.6 release - ProxLB is a workload balancer for #Proxmox and rebalances the guests across nodes in a cluster by memory, cpu or (local) disk usage.

Release 1.0.6 is just a small hot fix release and the last one of 1.0.x. With 1.1.x I will introduce the new code refactor to make the project more future proof. After further discussions we will not move to #Rust and stay on #Python. Also, there might be some additional great news - but this will be shared at a later time.

Link: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.0.6

I'm learning #Rust again. It's much easier the second time around, especially after having spent some time more recently with #Zig and #C++. Trying Rust after #Lisp and #python was definitely a bad idea. Much better (for me) to think carefully about manual memory management in a simpler language like C or Zig, and then learn Rust.
