@kelseyhightower Python's Rich makes great cli tools and has examples of everything in the module as an example when you run __main__. e.g. to see all the spinners you run "python -m rich.spinner" in the terminal. Useful docs live where you are (the terminal) not on some web page.

@b0rk Ripgrep and htop are so good. There's barrier for new users because they're not pre-installed, but now we have colors, and modern sensible defaults. Rich is an absolute GEM and makes python cli tools a joy to make and use. Not sure if this brings in new users, but maybe it helps?

if you started using the unix command line within the **last 2 years**, what motivated you to start? do you like it?

@b0rk There's a command line renaissance going on right now! Most of the classic command line tools are available rewritten in Rust with the sharp edges removed, Python has Rich and Textualize making incredible TUIs. I'm stoked to retire GUIs and web apps for TUIs

relatedly, I've been wondering if "use the command line as the primary way to manage your files" is a thing anyone is *starting* to do in 2022, or whether the only people who do it now started like 10+ years ago

@brettsky Definitely used requirements/base.txt and dev.txt. They can also depend on the os and python version, for that requirements/{platform}-{python version}.txt and pep-508 markers in the .in files. Pip-tools ftw on keeping track of it all

@theavalkyrie A recent one I've run into is that zipfile/tarfile and zipinfo/tarinfo have different names for a ton of common methods that do the exact same thing. getinfo vs getmember, infolist vs getmembers, etc.

What's your biggest Python pet peeve that doesn't have anything to do with packaging?

@tweetsoutloud NASTRAN or some derivative finite element code is used to design just about every modern spacecraft, aircraft, car, building, golf club, manufacturing process, etc. It might be the greatest government return on investment of all time. NAsa STRucture ANalysis.

Plenty of other folks can speak to the economic benefits and meaningfulness of asking awe inspiring questions about our existence, so I’ll add some of those here, but to emphasize, these endeavors benefit Earth without question.

It’s always frustrating to see folks upset that we’re spending money on space when we could be spending it at home, but if you don’t mind, here are just a few personal reasons why I think this is a false dichotomy:

@pwang Universities taught millions of engineers to use Matlab then sent them into industry where most companies don't spend $$$ for licenses, so they use Excel

One can try to fault the creators of Excel. Or one can fault corporate culture for being so enamored with it. What about faulting a tech industry that has been so utterly bad at creating usable tools for knowledge workers, that the most popular tool is VisiCalc, from the 70s?
Andy Brodie@andy_brodie

@shanselman Which is odd, because, in breaking news: "Excel was always meant for people mucking around with a bunch of data for their small company to see what it looked like," commented Prof Jon Crowcroft from the University of Cambridge. bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

@hillelogram Yep, in aerospace "math" is often linear linear interpolation on a curve that someone in a lab generated to fit 6 expensive data points in 1952

This is all about applying mathematical machinery, not formally knowing math like a mathematician would. Engineers don't know math in that way, either

This is a common misconception about engineering: that they "use math" and "we don't". This stems from us only thinking of *continuous math* as "math", when most of software uses *discrete math*. Diff eq is continuous math, so not as useful to us as, say, graph theory

@danielwithmusic @_anmonteiro @hillelogram For "what we can learn from them", I suspect we would need to get into rudimentary basics (e.g. differential equations, or maybe apprenticeship type stuff) and take notes.

Grateful for the yearly holiday bring-to-reality that kicks me soundly out of this peculiar AI tech bubble. Windows is a thing. Most people have no clue what a gradient is, and no interest to learn. C++, Java, FORTRAN, and legacy systems run the world, with no plan to migrate.

Earlier today Guido announced he will step down as Python’s Benevolent Dictator. The PSF and Pythonistas everywhere are deeply grateful for all he has done creating Python and guiding it for so long.

A major point of my campaign: in the safest blue seats in America, we should have leaders swinging for the most ambitious ideas possible for working-class Americans. You’re largely not going to get gutsy risk-taking from swing-district seats. So it’s not luck. It’s mindfulness. twitter.com/mollyjongfast/…
