Basic programming language celebrates its 60th birthday
The first Basic interpreter went live in May 1964. This was intended to make it easier to learn programming. However, the computers to go with it were not available until much later.
Basic is the abbreviation for "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". In other words, it is a general-purpose programming language for beginners.
Hey #python experts, what’s the best way to make a single binary on Linux for Linux that I can deploy safely without needing a container? Is it PyInstaller? Nuitka? Bazel? Thanks!
This VBA macro saves an Excel worksheet as a PDF. It sets and sorts the data, creates a temporary sheet with headers, formats and aligns the data, and adjusts column widths. The macro defines the PDF path, deletes any existing file, sets page orientation and footer, exports the sheet to PDF, deletes the temporary sheet, and shows a message with the PDF path. Modify to your needs if you find it useful.
Because I couldn’t find a decent podcast downloader, I made one using python! Is there any way I can have two python scripts run one after the other? I made one to download all podcasts from an RSS address, and I made another one to rename all of those episodes Based on the metadata provided with the RSS, but I would like to merge them and have them run one after the other. Is this possible? #Python#Programming
I'd like to suggest that anyone who says Copilot saves them time is an indication that they're not doing their job, ie accepted the code without taking the time to think through each line and its implications.
To properly review code, you have to consider for each variable, each expression, whether it's appropriate, how it interacts with the rest of the program, etc.
Since you didn't author the code I'd say this should take more time than if you wrote it yourself.
If you work with text data in R, the gregexpr() function is essential for pattern matching. It finds all occurrences of a pattern within a string. Key parameters include pattern, text, ignore.case, perl, fixed, and useBytes. You can match characters, ignore case, use advanced regex, and search fixed strings.

Hit an edge case in the #Rust compiler that appears to be quadratic at best and potentially exponential. Trivial to make happen with real-world code. Investigating...
Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?
Getting more interesting now, though still not exactly perfect, but it's pretty neat to play with. It's quite heavy performance wise though, I'll have to see if I can get this down to a reasonable cost while retaining the fun.
