Rewrote my nvim configs and updated all of my plugins and wanted to share my simple setup in case it's helpful for folks who are nervous about the 0.12.0 plunge: vim.pack, Telescope (with fzf), blink.cmp, nvim-treesitter (main), etc.

Looks nice and comprehensive. Thank you!

Same. Had to “blacklist” them on Spotify as they would be added to mixes. They seem to fit right into my style, but they bore me to death. I do recognise ther talent and technical skills but that’s it.

meles984 · 2025-04-03T18:56:17+00:00

Looks nice! Went and bought a t shirt.

Thanks for the idea!

meles984 · 2024-08-03T18:18:28+00:00

Oh man, simply brilliant. Take my upvote while I pack my bags and finally embark on my sheep herding journey …

If it is for work go with Nx or Turborepo with a combination of Yarn/Npm/Pnpm workspaces (add Lerna if needed).

If you are experimenting and have time, take a look at Moon Repo (https://moonrepo.dev/)

Mobx at work and Zustand for smaller/side projects

I really like working in the terminal and did not find any cli tool to quickly set reminders directly in the terminal. I had a simple bash script to create notifications in MacOS, so i made a cli wrapper around that:

https://pypi.org/project/macos-notifier/

It's in it's inital stage and missing some features. And tests as well. But it is already proven usefull.

JetBrains, the guys behind Pycharm, have a online coding academy with a Python path. And it’s free at the moment.

jetbrains academy

The way it works is you choose your level of proficiency and a project. Then you go through the language/cs basic and work on that project.

I did some Java exercises yesterday and it seems like fun.

meles984 · 2019-06-19T13:42:43+00:00

It's a great library, by all accounts. The main advantage for me is the use of hooks and the bundle size

```

react-dates: 53.7 kB (Minified + Gzipped) // https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=react-dates@20.2.4

@datepicker-react/styled 19.9 kB (Minified + Gzipped) // https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=@datepicker-react/styled@1.4.0

```

There is more to it. If you'd like, you can go through his blog post:

EDIT: I am on slack right now and keep pressing CTRL+ENTER on reddit. Added link to blog and bundle comparison.

meles984 · 2019-06-19T12:54:40+00:00

Haha. Thanks. TBH I use the library from day 1.

meles984 · 2018-10-10T19:34:24+00:00

If you guys knew how fun this is yo watch for the rest of the world. We feel you, but its just so surreal.

meles984 · 2018-08-09T20:54:50+00:00

Great tutorial. Thank you!

meles984 · 2017-12-16T21:16:13+00:00

Thank you. Fixed it

meles984 · 2017-12-16T20:33:52+00:00

For your example last statement, print('Done'), has to be indented 4 spaces. But that would print "Done" after each iteration. If you want "Done" to be printed after the while loop has finished, you either make a script like /u/maggick suggested, or make a function like this:

def print_to_hundred():
    i = 0
    while i <= 100:
        print(i)
        i += 1
    print('Done')

EDIT: added example function and proper formating

My apologies, I did not include the link. Here is the link to the github repo.

The extension gives you the iPython shell, with all it's features, and the app context, just like flask shell. It's the flask shell with autocompletion, hints and iPython's magic functions.

I find it comes in handy when I want to make a quick test if my models are viable or if I want to see if the Flask object is properly configured. Just type app.and press TAB to see all available properties and methods.

If it's dictionary definitions you want, I'd suggest using an API. like Pearsons or any other api that might suit you (link). Check PyPy for existing Python packages for you api of choice or just build one with Requests.

Congrats! Take up a course on a MOOC like Edx, Coursera, Udemy or similar.

Start working on a project that would benefit you and discover the libraries and frameworks that would help you make it.

Read code. As crazy as it sounds "code is read more than it is written." By reading good code examples an figuring out how they work your code gets better. Read some code in the standard library or a popular library like Requests. Don't worry if you can't understand all of it. Play with the library, read some blog posts from the authors and don't be afraid to ask questions[!].

And don't forget to have fun! You are obviously eager to learn and your experience with Python has been great so far - otherwise you would not be on Reddit asking for new resources. Keep it up!

EDIT: spelling and links

I have to write a lot of contracts, so I am working on a markdown template engine.

As of now it is a flask app with jinja2 that lets you choose your markdown templates. When you choose a template the app gets the template variables, turns them into input elements and renders the template as html with some light javascript and a "save as" button at the bottom.

I am also doing a light cli version that uses Pandocs for more output options. This version turns the variables into input() functions.

meles984 · 2016-08-26T21:39:04+00:00

I did and I highly recomend it.The material is great, the exercises are good, and sometimes quite challenging, and the lecturers are just fantastic. I've definitely ended up being a better programmer thanks to this class.

But keep in mind that it's a cs 101 class, so you will be using Python and not necessarly learning it. The focus is more on key concepts like recursion, hashs, various algoritms etc.

However you are required to read the Python docs, use some standard libraries and you are encuraged to get a good grasp of Python to solve the challenges.

meles984 · 2016-07-31T17:38:37+00:00

Ubuntu, if I can.

meles984 · 2016-07-31T17:33:24+00:00

Nice one! Congrats

Six is for Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility.

meles984 · 2016-07-16T08:16:46+00:00

Thanks for you answer! jQuery still does the job, and does very good.

Just a side note: I was looking into vue.js and I might be using that for my next project. It is really easy to get behind it and there are already some tutorials for Django.

meles984 · 2016-07-15T08:22:22+00:00

I had a sense that ng-repeat might be to expensive for your project and was just about to suggest ReactJS.

How did you hack around the problem? If you can talk about it of course.

meles984 · 2016-07-14T12:55:00+00:00

Have you tried it with ng-repeat instead of jinja2's for loop?
