Most days.
That's a similar situation to what I was asking one time in one of your podcasts. Do we PIP install certain packages, vendor them in, or have our AI buddy code just enough to do what we need done. Fewer dependencies. Up to date support. Seems like a win. But you could have a catastrophic loss.

It seemed like maybe 30 seconds. Decent laptop with NVMe.
Pretty neat. Thanks.

You should try Portal on your Steam Deck.

Linux Unplugged. You can go back to August 2013 and relive the systemd battle, mir, unity, and more.
Here's a nice end of year Python article.

@mkennedy.codes I just stumbled across this YouTube video about a Python project someone is doing on F1 racing. I think I've heard you say you're a big fan of F1 racing, so I thought you might be interested.

He made it open source so you could contribute if you wanted.
Example:
FROM ubuntu/python:3.12-24.04_edge
WORKDIR /app
# Copy application files
COPY requirements.txt .
COPY . .
# Install dependencies (requires pip in chiseled image)
RUN python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Run the application
CMD ["python3", "main.py"]
Here is a link to their announcement from a couple years ago: canonical.com/blog/chisell...
Along those lines there is a chiseled Ubuntu Python container that looks interesting. Maybe you could talk with someone from Canonical?
Congratulations! You do a good job on the podcast. Keep up the good work.
I wonder if the most common version of Python is 3.12 because that's the default for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and maybe other distros too.
I wonder if the most common version being 3.12 has to do with being the default version for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, for example. Probably similar with other Linux distros.
Solutions tend to come to me in the car, out for a walk, or in the shower. 😀
I see @nedbat.com mentioned in this article.

I saw something a week or two ago on @pythonbytes.fm about an AI or LLM tool that would create a commit message for you. Maybe that'd be a fun next step.
It's been years since I read that. Maybe I'll work it in again. It's a pretty quick read as I recall.
If you want a huge shock watch some episodes of All In The Family. You know it's coming, but you're still pretty shocked.
One frustrating thing with Libby is sometimes you will wait a long time with a book on hold. I am 12th in line for the audio book Four Thousand Weeks (at Brian's recommendation, thank you) and I've had it on hold since 12/2/2024. Yikes!
I read magazines, books, and listen to audio books using the Libby app on my phone and tablet, and the Libby website.

Eagles have two in the top ten. Pretty awesome, even if one of them is a greatest hits.
@mkennedy.codes
Especially when good coding practice is to indent anyway.
I can understand where you're coming from. But. I have no doubt it has been done from personal experience. There is just no chance I would be shown one thing in particular if it were not the case.
Also, ad targeting is not that good. Evidence: I keep seeing Apple ads. I'm a well-known Apple hater.
