@mark My synology has a button on it that will reset the admin password, (and I think I had an old QNAP that did that, too) maybe yours does as well?

@gannet UptonTea.com sells an amazing “CTC Irish Breakfast Blend” that is my go-to when I really need some extra pep. (Ugh, I sound like I’m doing a podcast ad)

But seriously, it’s amazing.

After voting last week by mail, I successfully avoided any news of the election all day yesterday. Had a great trip into Harvard Square for lunch with the family, and was able to put it out of my mind.
Then we went out for some great German food at a local beer hall, came home, watched Bake Off, and then to bed.
I’m somewhat dreading opening up a newspaper or other source of news…

@synkr3tyk I mean, it *is* pretty chaotic and nonsensical.

This is not meant as any insult toward German speakers, though I would love to hear from native German speakers if they feel similarly.

My #python journey continues!

In C++, you must be extremely specific, because otherwise it simply won’t compile.

In Python, you are freer to say things that would be hard in a compile-time checking language.

I had a friend who came over from Austria when he was 17, and was saying how he enjoys speaking English more than German. “In German,” he said, “you have to say things a certain way, there’s little ambiguity. But in English, it’s all ambiguity, and it maps better to how humans think.”

@kagan The part that amazes me is that it is cross-platform! (I’m on Windows at work, Mac at home).

AND it doesn’t require a Microsoft account, just a GitHub account (yes, I know that Microsoft owns them, but still!)

[for the geeks-- I realized that I do _not_ have to define a kind of interface base class, I can just duck-type. However, I will need to more embrace unit-tests so that I still have that safety net that strongly typed languages have]

Going on what @queermath said, I had a sudden epiphany this morning.

There are certain concepts in C++ that don't map well to Python. At first, this feels like a limitation, until you realize that it is very intentional, because it enables a different way of approaching problems.

I'm definitely not writing poetry in Python yet, but I'm getting there!

@louielouie :) I'm already a cython user... sorta, in that I am calling Python from C++ using the C-API.

However, this is one of the reasons that I am moving toward a Python-forward approach-- keeping everything in Python means I don't have to write an interfacing layer between C++ and Python...

@srol Well, I used to be @gregvr@mastodon.social, and just updated my bio.

I'm a real person, really!

One thing that is so interesting to me about Mastodon is how... NOT US-centric it is.

I've been migrating my account from mastodon.social to wandering.shop and I decided to re-write my bio.

I had put in there "liberal as fuck", which has a very distinct meaning to US folk. But outside the US? "Liberal" can have so many different meanings!

What's a better way to put this that is more universally understood? "Anti-Fascist"?

It’s funny how programming in another language feels totally like speaking another language.

I’m really switching to spending most of my time in Python, but I realize that I am far from an expert in Python. I find myself thinking about how I would do something in C++, and then translating it to Python… which is exactly how you speak a foreign language when you aren’t fluent.
