Finally put together type stubs for an old (last release 2017!) python library I've been depending on for years. And now wondering whether it would have been easier to just contribute types to the library directly. I thought it abandoned but then the maintainer responded up on an unrelated ticket.
(Though there's no CI infra actually working anymore. Makes testing contributions painful. Wonder whether building that first would be worthwhile & welcome...)

It's been a while but I was reminded that Java is shit.
Python is better, but has issues, mostly because of macOS.
And macOS permissions for user-created applications are a nightmare!
But a big, big thanks goes out to tools like Platypus.
"Platypus is a developer tool that creates native Mac applications from command line scripts such as shell scripts or Python, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript and PHP programs."

I asked an LLM to generate a python webui to run server-side the script I wrote, and surprisingly it 100% worked first try. I was sure it wouldn’t work at all, but I didn’t touch that code and it works.
I can’t even say I “vibe coded” this bc I didn’t even read the code enough to know its vibes lmao. I’m surprised this even works, and it does work well. What the actual fuck.
Welp, not my favourite way to do things but I wasn’t in the mood to do python and figure out the extra libraries and stuff.
And it works so I’ll just use that. In a hardened systemd service to make sure it doesn’t like accidentally delete my whole system or something.

But apparently it's not a big deal, since all the cool kids are running Python in containers, and nobody is using Python for system tools anymore. Everything has been RIIR-ed and Python is only omnipresent in some backwaters like #Gentoo.

Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.

Playing around with Antigravity, vibe coded a social media summarizer that makes a summary of the last 48 hours of my bluesky and mastodon timelines, using python, a local database of the posts on my laptop and APIs of mentioned services. Works greats after squashing some bugs and a few iterations. Interestingly you need to know a little bit about coding to use it efficienctly, even in "vibecode" mode.

Once I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.

#Python "do not pin your new dependencies to a version that's already obsolete by the time you release your package" challenge.
This one also has difficulty: impossible.

With ty, Astral has released a fast Python type checker and language server (LSP): https://astral.sh/blog/ty
It can also be easily integrated into Visual Studio Code and other editors:

This one was disturbingly easy for Part 1, then got more fun on Part 2. The name of the game is rotations, and rotating the input was the key to getting it done without too much bother.

When you notice twine uploading a 400M sdist for a tiny #Python package, you know something went wrong.

I was worried that this would be pathfinding. Thankfully it was not pathfinding. Was definitely a fun problem, and I used more than a couple of comprehensions to get this done.

I stayed up far too long tonight for this one, but it was fun. Saw that we were dealing with an absolute metric ton of ranges at the very beginning so my initial thought was to reduce/merge those ranges and that's what I spent most of my time on before even tackling part 1.
It paid off tremendously and made solving everything very, very easy. There's still the Nim version to write, but I'll handle that after I get some sleep.

Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.
