@kadams54 Wherever could you have developed such an opinion? 😆

I’d be lying if I didn’t say this story worries me; advertising is too often a corrupting force within a business, leading it to chase short-term gains over long-term viability.

I’ve oft recommended Apple products and services by saying: “Unlike Google, Apple’s business model isn’t dependent on advertising, so I know I’m their customer and not the product being sold [my eyeballs on an ad]. Consequently I trust them to better protect my privacy.”

@kadams54 I use black and flake8 with a setting in project.toml to use 79 columns so they're compatible with each other

Python folks: what linter(s) and/or code formatter(s) would you choose for a brand new project? Bonus points for zero config/sensible defaults, using pyproject.toml for any additional config, and minimizing the number of tools in play. Because I ❤️ simplicity.

A viral social media headline falsely asserts that the CDC changed testing thresholds to “virtually eliminate” COVID-19 cases among vaccinated individuals. That threshold applies to whether there is enough virus present in a sample for further analysis. bit.ly/34oRhPy

@cstuckey56 Respectfully but strongly disagree. Impeachment is a necessary first step for healing. Trump and others (like the banned 60k) who engaged in seditious conspiracy (law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…) need to face consequences for their terroristic threats, or we'll see it tried again soon.

@rick446 Impeachment is not the right thing to do for this country when the President is leaving office in a week anyway.

So much for unity and healing.

@brandon_rhodes I don't know if this is 'beautiful', but numpy lets you do np.r_[start:stop:stride] for np.arange or np.r_[start:stop:(steps)j] for linspace (the second one is particuarly questionable IMO)

I wonder if Python would have been even more beautiful if range(i,j,k) had been spelled int[i:j:k]. One less builtin. One fewer ways of saying “stop,start,step.” And—fewer characters? (I know, bad reason!) I’m undecided on whether it should also have worked for float.

@llanga It also seems to be calling "Gunicorn with meinheld" synchronous when it's actually greenlet-based async, isn't it? (meinheld.org)

If you've seen a blog post shared recently by somebody claiming that async frameworks in #Python are slower than sync ones, feel free to disregard it. It's using a flawed benchmarking setup and draws bad conclusions from it. 1/4

@zzzeek I'm probably missing something, but isn't gunicorn+meinheld using async workers? Meaning that the fastest 2 benchmarks are actually using asynchronous IO? (Or is the assertion that it's only *explicitly* async/await frameworks that isn't faster?)

@marionpdaly @zippy1981 I use click whenever I do flask development, but I'm partial to Cliff (docs.openstack.org/cliff/latest/) if it's a purely CLI project

@chrisfrich @davidhuey The number Bernie's talking about *is* per person. See healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collecti… for details

Glad to have a chance to speak at the Python Atlanta user group PyATL for the last 2 months. The notebooks used in my talk are available at bit.ly/pyatl-pragmati… and bit.ly/pyatl-sklearn #python #machinelearning #datascience

Really enjoyed @HannahStepanek 's Pandas talk at #pycon2019. Great introduction and overview of how and why to use an amazing framework, with tips for getting the best performance possible.

Good to be back at #pycon2019

@brondsem @pycon @markramm @YesJustWolf @vansteenburglar @MasterBunnyFu @wwitzel3 @heiths I'll be there 👍

Any python friends going to @pycon this year? @markramm @rick446 @YesJustWolf @vansteenburglar @masterbunnyfu @wwitzel3 @heiths

@mariajoyner Probably my favorite is Bad Blood: secrets and lies in a silicon valley startup

@rick446 Hi Rick! Thank you. What was your favorite book that you read/listened to in 2018?

Hey Twitter! Been a while...what's good in #nonfiction reading these days? I need to use a few #Audible credits.

Congrats to @__amol__ on completing the Python Standard Library Cookbook!

@yeswanth86 @salesforce @sbhath @Benioff @SalesforceEQ Nice to meet you, too! Always a pleasure to deliver training at #Salesforce, wherever in the world that takes me :-)

Nice to Meet you Rick (@rick446) at #Salesforce Office #Hyderabad. He is the Principal Consultant of Arborian Consulting, which provides Python and MongoDB-focused consulting, training, and custom development services. Rick has been using Python since 2005, MongoDB since 2009.

(since LinkedIn didn't show the text): Great networking today at the Atlanta Senior Care Network Niche and sharing how the Carefol.io app is helping seniors and their caregivers stay organized and on top of their health care needs #ASCNN
