The one reason why I want to learn #Python is so that I could program my computer to copy my social media posts and just stuff them into my #Obsidian Daily Note automatically. Ambitious or impossible? lol

#Programming #Coding

Hello! I'm looking for some documentation about #GTK, more specifically #GTK4 and its #Python bindings.

I would like to develop a very simple UI, with:

- full screen mode activated by default
- a blurred picture as a background
- some text on the right of the screen

Thanks in advance, Fediverse! :)

Related to above #macOS question, tangents:

#Python env management. I’m told PDM is current state-of-the-art, Hatch also good, `uv` if you're not allergic to VC money, Poetry if you can stomach its bug surface, or the evergreen "just use pip-tools”.

Or use a polyglot tool like `mise` (fka `rtx`) or `asdf` (or haha-only-joking-unless, Determinate System's #Nix installer + flakes).

Also curious about #Rust on macOS arm64, even though that's getting ahead of myself.

Time for a #jobSearch post!

Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.

In his #PyCascades talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.

He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.

A cybersecurity researcher finds that 20% of software packages recommended by GPT-4 are fake, so he builds one that 15,000 code bases already depend on, to prevent some hacker from writing a malware version.

Disaster averted in this case, but there aren't enough fingers to plug all the AI-generated holes 😬

Today is my final trip in to #Textual Towers, and my final day working on Textual as my day job: https://blog.davep.org/2024/03/28/goodbye-textualize.html

PS: Yes, I am looking for a new position, so do let me know if you know of anything suitable.

Goodbye Textualize

While I have been on the receiving end of redundancy once before, that was after 21 years of service at a company that, while it was in part about software development, I would never have called it a "tech" company.
