@pauleveritt @brianokken This is something most Python devs should be paying attention to!

We're doing a pytest webinar with the one and only @brianokken on Nov 21, covering his video course and handy pytest tips and tricks. https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2023/10/do-you-do-enough-testing-pytest-to-the-rescue/

@bobthomson70 Awake, nearly 7hrs, only just moved to my desk 🤷‍♂️

@bobthomson70 How are you feeling now?

@dw_innovation Long may your positive experience continue.

@webology @brianokken What about naming it the pytest parameter initialisation set service?

Short, simple, easy to remember.

@cirriustech I have a 2lb lump hammer and I'm not afraid to use it.

We are developing a PUSH standard for WebDAV, CalDAV and CardDAV! It's a big task - one of the biggest we ever had. At the end it will benefit the whole Open *DAV ecosystem.

We've kicked off this project at Nextcloud Conf this year a few weeks ago and Sunik had a quick overview talk about that. Re-Watch it here:

The PUSH project is an open development and we make good progress already :) Have a look / participate here if you're interested:

@beyng On the face of the snippet, I agree. I'd suggest there are a lot of philosophy works that would have failed to appear... though books don't appear to have the same requirements as papers, so I'm not certain the claim is relevant.

But, I've yet to receive my copy of issue 158, so I'll reserve judgment until I've received and read it.

#UX designers, please don't change mouse pointers into cool blobs or whatever. I know it looked great in your demo, but it just messes with basic web functionality, is problematic for accessibility and just plain annoying.

#ConspiracyTheory subscribers are always looking for deeply nested conspiracies involving satanic cabals ready to take over the world from a hundred different locations simultaneously, but always miss the genuine conspiracy right under their noses: fossil fuel companies buying political inaction across the globe for decades.

I've just listened to @brianokken episode where he's talking about returning the name to the original Python Test from the Test & Code of late.

But what if he starts working in Rust? 🤔

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

@webology @brettcannon DDG held so much promise and I've no doubt it works for many people, it's just a shame their model appears to rely on the abilities of other engines.

I actually still miss AltaVista, though unquestionably what I recall would be of limited use two decades on.
