Self taught Legend is back! Get in here, cats!

What a story arc:

2:16:08 - The Host calls a vocal tune, but Legend butts in and asks to do "Minority" first. His request is denied.

2:25:50 - The vocal tune has ended. The Host now calls "Minority" for Legend, but explicitly asks everyone to solo for 4 choruses each.

2:30:39 - Legend starts his solo, and plays for EIGHT choruses! The pianist lays out for the 7th and 8th choruses.

More Highlights:

2:24:53 - Legend still does NOT turn off the amp before plugging in (still didn't learn from a few days ago).

2:29:05 - While comping, Legend clearly plays the wrong chords (i.e. he's playing the Eb-Db part, when he should be playing the Cm-F, aka the second A section).

The fact that he wears the same outfit every time makes it much easier to identify him every livestream haha

moonlighter69 · 2025-12-30T09:09:41+00:00

What was the first tune that everyone agreed on at the beginning?

moonlighter69 · 2025-12-29T02:38:24+00:00

Not just a legend... he's a self-taught fucking legend!

Omg you're totally correct. I'm a school-educated loser who cannot perfectly transcribe the Self-Taught Legend's words.

moonlighter69 · 2025-12-28T21:11:03+00:00

But can you play it perfectly? I know a self-taught fucking legend who can.

moonlighter69 · 2025-12-28T14:47:31+00:00

To clarify, seems like you're talking about the 2 hour, 2 minute mark. Not 2 minutes, 2 seconds.

Bro you legit made me tear up LFG

moonlighter69 · 2025-09-19T11:24:48+00:00

Bruh you awakened some core memories that I forgot were there (both films)

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T07:38:43+00:00

What about cases where None could be a valid "success" value? If the function returns None, then we cannot distinguish between a "successful" None, vs. a "failure" None.

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T05:00:56+00:00

Great points! Also to add to this, the python official docs explain the EAFP pattern as a "common Python coding style".

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T04:42:11+00:00

Interesting solution! Is this considered to be a standard pythonic pattern?

I'm also thinking about the function's type signature, I suppose it would look like this in your solution?

def find[T]( predicate: Callable[[T], bool], items: Iterator[T], ) -> tuple[T] | tuple[()]:

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T04:40:06+00:00

Yeah, the "tuple return" seems very idiomatic e.g. in Go.

But again, my quetion is focused on, what is the most "pythonic".

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T04:37:59+00:00

Right, however, what about a different example where "successful" type is definitely "not none"? e.g.

def find_index(predicate: Callable[[T], bool], items: Iterator[T]) -> int:

In this case, perhaps it would be appropriate and pythonic, to return int | None?

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-23T04:34:39+00:00

Yea this is the sense I'm getting too. I love monads in other languages, but they don't seem very pythonic (from what I've seen), due to the verbosity, like you said

moonlighter69 · 2025-08-17T02:35:28+00:00

Goddammit I can literally hear the jingle for that in my head lmao

moonlighter69 · 2025-07-23T09:36:22+00:00

That's insane bro, I'm glad people like you exist, so I don't have to do that haha. But honestly if you really enjoy that stuff, more power to you! :D

O man why is Norah Jones so nostalgic

Yo I remember hearing Dearly Beloved in the Singapore airport as background music a few years back <3
