|
||
|
|
<p>I have been using Scotty for some time and I really like it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>What Scotty does is keep a list of directories you accessed recently and,
|
||
|
|
after a while, you can simply use <code>s <directory></code> to get straight into it. Not
|
||
|
|
only that, but Scotty uses fuzzy searching to find the directory that closely
|
||
|
|
matches whatever you typed.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Pyramid is the "less known" Python web framework around. But this post shows
|
||
|
|
how simple is to build a (simple) API with it.</p>

<h2 id="stop-using-datetime-now"><a href="https://hakibenita.com/python-dependency-injection">Stop Using datetime.now!</a></h2>
|

<p>Slightly clickbait title, but great content. Not only pointing out the
|
||
|
|
problems when using <code>datetime.now()</code> (no, it's not the function itself that
|
||
|
|
has a problem, it is the way we use that may cause problems), but going into
|
||
|
|
lenghts explaining dependency injection in Python.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Ding dong, the witch is dead, and so is Python 2.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But there is still a large base of Python 2 projects that need to be converted
|
||
|
|
to Python 3, and Mercurial did this, and here's the experience of a
|
||
|
|
maintained on doing it so.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I do understand that converting Python 2 to 3 is not a simple task, but there
|
||
|
|
are a few misconceptions in the post. For example, "the approach of assuming
|
||
|
|
the world is Unicode is flat out wrong and has significant implications for
|
||
|
|
systems level applications". The word <em>is</em> unicode. Go read the Portuguese
|
||
|
|
version of this blog to have some idea. Go read any Chinese/Japonese blog to
|
||
|
|
see how it looks. Do you really think those people do not use system level
|
||
|
|
applications anywhere? Also, what do you think are mostly used: User level
|
||
|
|
applications or system level?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Not saying the conversion is perfect -- in a way, unicode is simply a way of
|
||
|
|
dealing with the underlying bytes -- but ranting that this change made <em>your</em>
|
||
|
|
specific way to think harder is not an excuse to not understand where the
|
||
|
|
whole ecosystem was moving -- and it also doesn't mean your specific thing is
|
||
|
|
not welcome, but you have to understand you're in the minority case here.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(Also, it's no surprise to me that claiming "world is unicode is wrong" is
|
||
|
|
coming from someone living in an ASCII country.)</p>

<h2 id="making-python-programs-blazingly-fast"><a href="https://martinheinz.dev/blog/13">Making Python Programs Blazingly Fast</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>A set of tips on how to make Python applications faster. Some of those may
|
||
|
|
seem weird in the first glance (make a variable in the function point to the
|
||
|
|
a variable in the same class?) but the post also explains <em>why</em> this may
|
||
|
|
improve the general performance.</p>

<h2 id="httpx-a-next-generation-http-client-for-python"><a href="https://www.python-httpx.org/">Httpx: A next-generation HTTP client for Python</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><a href="https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/">Requests</a> shown to everyone how
|
||
|
|
APIs should work, but it kinda got stuck in time, without async support (and a few
|
||
|
|
other glitches in the project management). Now there is Httpx, which is,
|
||
|
|
again, another HTTP request library, but this time with async support and,
|
||
|
|
basically, the same interface.</p>

<p>Have you ever wondered why after you search something -- say, "gamer chair" --
|
||
|
|
suddenly you start getting a lot of promotions and ads for chairs in your
|
||
|
|
social networks?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Nothing happens by simple chance, and that's the effect of all the trackers
|
||
|
|
that someone puts on a page. But how they identify who is who is the real
|
||
|
|
question.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This post by Mozilla may seem a little bit basic, but shows pretty damn well
|
||
|
|
how those things are done.</p>

<h2 id="google-is-not-god-of-the-web"><a href="https://bilge.world/google-page-experience">Google Is Not God of The Web</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Another clickbait title but, again, good content.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A point that caught my attention was "Google has the right to dictate 'Best
|
||
|
|
Practices', although I think the topic is quite the opposite, based on its
|
||
|
|
content.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Imagine that Google start giving points of "user experience" to pages that use
|
||
|
|
the Material design. Pages and pages that look like Android apps. But if you
|
||
|
|
use your own layout, your own colors, you lose points. What now?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is the greatest problem on people depending on Google, and all the
|
||
|
|
relationship of one of their groups working on web standards, a group working
|
||
|
|
on a browser and a group to take advantage of whatever the previous two did.
|
||
|
|
The less dependent on Google you become, the more you use alternative search
|
||
|
|
engines (DuckDuckGo, Searx and even Bing), the more you use other email
|
||
|
|
providers (ProtonMail), the more you use browsers that are not Chrome
|
||
|
|
(Firefox, Safari or anything based on WebKit), the lesser the chance of the
|
||
|
|
internet becoming the thing of a single company.</p>
