Re: Porting to Python 3: An offer for you.

renesd — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:21:21 -0000

It looks like there is a note on the poll now about how to remove packages that are ported already. Some of the packages have been removed already.

Yeah, an update to put (ported) next to those ones that are ported already.

The projects on there get a lot of confusion based on that old, and mostly incorrect poll. It's damaging to the reputation of those projects.

If there is a hg repo somewhere I can make a patch.

Amazing job bro. Keep it up.

I eat as much organic as I can afford, which given the price, isn't a lot.

Hope you eat (mosly!) organic...sure do for the Kid!.

I'm happy with the timing - my goal is a consistent 6 minute mile by PyCon

I also had a kid in 2011 and I've been a wreck for much of the year, constantly losing sleep over our 100% healthy boy. Congrats on not just surviving a tough year -- but flourishing.

4.2 miles in 30 min is like a 7 minute mile ! wowee that's amazing. very inspiring photos, geeks can be the most intransigent about fundamental change to eating/exercise habits..

Best 2011 wrap up I've read! (And I've read lots.) Grats on your weight loss and your great family. Good luck in 2012 and beyond!

Great! A propos: Is there some easy way to ask for a refresh of the py3k poll ?. At least to prevent voting already ported libraries?. Many of the listed libraries have already py3k ports (matplotlib, PIL, pyramid, pygame to name a few). In fact in its actual state the poll is counter-productive because gives a wrong view of the actual state of the thing. (I'm tired of answering "the library X has had python 3 distributions from many months ago" in mail lists)

Re: The Standing Desk Experiment, 5 Months in.

I love my standing desk, too. You aren't weird for dancing/doing yoga while you work - I catch myself doing the same things! It is just the freedom of standing. Try putting some bed risers under your home desk. It brought mine right into standing range.

I wrote about this same topic at: http://spinnergal.blogspot.com...

Very interesting! Thanks for the write-up. I wouldn't mind switching to a setup like this. A developer at a company next door to where I work has a similar set-up.

I see the Geek table goes up to 47" height; I got an adjustable table from Ikea for home some years ago. It doesn't quite let me stand (will go to 38"), but is higher. The idea of it: like two adjustable height saw horses holding up a table top. Also, a simple idea for home (which might get you close) is a bar table, along the lines of which will get you to 40" (some birch yoga blocks under the legs could adjust that +3" or +5").

Just curious (and I know I'm taller, Jesse) - what height did your desktop settle in at?

thanks, fixed

I think you've got a typo in the first paragraph. "More studies have been coming out citing that STANDING as long as we (programmers, writers, etc) do...". That "standing" probably has to be "sitting"?

jsulak — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:28:05 -0000

Thanks for the followup post. Very interesting. Inspired by your first post, I tried it out, with this hacky setup (worked, but I don't know if I would *recommend* it): http://www.wordsinboxes.com/20.... I have a real adjustable desk now.

Re: Help needed: multiprocessing

Juanjo — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 16:54:17 -0000

I wish I could help.

At least, please let me thank you for your work on multiprocessing. It's been a life saver for me in a couple of occasions, and every time I use it I keep thinking: this module is awesome.

Re: Help needed: multiprocessing

Mike Johnson — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:48:44 -0000

You are being way, way too hard on yourself!

Re: Help needed: multiprocessing

Jorgen — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:10:55 -0000

Uhm, I just want to say thanks for your work on the module. I don't know how I would have done my PhD without it.

FWIW, Jesse, as someone who has released (and subsequently abandoned or deprecated) lots of code, coping with indignant bug reports is often a painful and unrewarding process. Open source entitlement culture is a real problem, and contributes heavily to developer burnout I think. I have taken to saying "sorry for the convenience" a lot lately.

But at least in this case there are talented people who appear to care and are willing to contribute, so I think you're right to sort of let go of the reins a bit and try to find someone with more time and energy. I think it's great that you got the ball rolling in the first place.

Thank you very much for this post. As both OS X Lion user and (Python) developer, I really appreciate all of your tips.
