My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light!

@willmcgugan Only slightly related: used your tree widget from Textual for the first time last weekend, and was FLOORED by how simple/well/performant it works. ⚡️ Lacking superlatives to praise your work... 👏

I've updated tree.py with docstrings and comments. I think this project is a good example of a real world problem solved with Textual github.com/willmcgugan/te…

@ikbendaf And I was curious if they had considered doing that instead, which I think seems like a better idea.

@ikbendaf But when you store and share these kinds of lists, you also have to manage those. And keep them secret, etc. otherwise you create another vulnerability. And there is a technical way to not share these lists, but a sort-of "fingerprint" aka Bloomfilter... /3

De politie deelt door criminelen gestolen wachtwoorden (zogeheten hashes) met een reeks Nederlandse bedrijven. Als iemand daar dan inlogt met een wachtwoord dat niet meer veilig is, krijgen ze automatisch een waarschuwing met het verzoek om ‘m aan te passen. Top!

Hulplijn gevraagd: welk bijbelverhaal is dit?

Made some Python to convert MIDI signals from a Yamaha FGDP-50 to play Hang Drum samples: instagram.com/p/C-IuQ4loS0f/ Very satisfying dulcet sounds wafting through the house on this summer evening.

@Gaojin_ @GrandjeanMartin @ariciula Enjoy! Super nice that you are there. If you happen to meet my colleague Sarah from FIZ, say hi...

Arrived in Lausanne for the #HNR2024 Conference, getting a nice lake view from my hotel room. Look forward to three days of great historical network projects! #digitalhumanities @GrandjeanMartin @ariciula @epoz

@wheretheroad Yes, totally. It was definitely not a managed-conspiracy, but just pragmatic necessity.

@epoz I'm more wary of claims (yours is not of this type) that the IEC acts/acted in a managed-conspiracy kind of way.

Reading a book by South Africa's IEC on the 1994 elections and I had no idea they were hacked. You can't just drop that bomb as a one liner!

@wheretheroad Not quite sure what you mean with being on the fence. Did you see that I wrote the LinkedIn item I shared? Feel free to ask, if something seems unclear.

@epoz I'm on the fence about stories like the LinkedIn one (and shenanigans about the KZN count). It sounds like a lot of the first election was pretty wild west (there were even pirate voting stations!), but I do think subsequent ones were way more legit.

@Liekevdeinsen @lisakuitert @trude_dijkstra @DieterCammaerts Is er een link die ik kan opslaan for future reference? Alleen een plaatje delen om rond te sturen is lastig.

Running a survey on SQLite versions people have for Python... could you run this in a terminal and reply with the output? python -c 'import sys, sqlite3, platform; print(sqlite3.connect(":memory:").execute("select sqlite_version()").fetchone(), sys.version, platform.platform())'

Modern SQLite #1: STRICT Tables I'm starting a series of short notes about handy SQLite features you may not have heard about. And the first one is "strict" tables. As you probably know, SQLite's type system is very flexible (some people even call SQLite the JavaScript of databases) — you can store any value in any column type (e.g. create an INTEGER column and store text values there, or a REAL with blob values). Some people love SQLite for its flexibility, others hate it for the same reason. So at some point the SQLite authors introduced STRICT tables. They check types the same way other DBMS do (see the screenshot). Even with strict tables, you can still explicitly declare a column as ANY — such columns can hold values of any type. So you can have the best of both worlds — strict type checking and type flexibility. Available since SQLite 3.37 (Nov 2021).

@davidbrochart No way! The magical rich has many more hidden delights. <3 <3 <3

@epoz For just a viewer, you can use rich-cli: rich /path/to/notebook.ipynb

Super happy to see this announcement. I have been considering making a super-simple read-only *.ipynb viewer for the console in Textual for months now. But voila! The cool froods over here have done one better. I am not the only one wanting this...

@jeremyphoward This is the app that you mean: mmhmm.app/home

I figure there must be some mac or windows extension thing which shows a little movable overlay of your own webcam view on your screen -- so then screen recordings let you put the video exactly where you want, and wysiwyg. But I haven't found it. Anyone got suggestions?

@aboutgeo How would you position IMMARKUS vs Tropy.org?

@aboutgeo Very exciting!
