Fun with uv and PEP 723

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 03:02:47 +0000

For the longest time, I have been frustrated with Python because I couldn’t use it for one-off scripts. I had to first ensure it was running in an environment where it could find the right Python version and the dependencies installed. That is now a thing of the past.

BRA and KET: String Interpolation in AmigaDOS | datagubbe.se

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 02:22:01 +0000

By default, the parser does string interpolation using the characters < (less than) and > (greater than). The cleverness of this is debatable: these characters are also used for I/O redirection, which can quickly make things confusing. Luckily, the parser also accepts the directives .BRA and .KET, each followed by a single character, which lets the programmer override the default interpolation characters. The terms BRA and KET are most likely borrowed from Dirac notation.

Automating your Mastodon profile with Pipedream.com | Stefan Bohacek

I wrote recently about how you can use Mastodon’s API to make bots that post random images and make data charts, but you don’t have to automate just bots. Let me show you a few fun things you can do with your own profile.

Platypus | Sveinbjorn Thordarson

Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native, flawlessly integrated Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script.

The Phrasebook Pattern

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:20:54 +0000

Not unlike templates for (X)HTML? "The Phrasebook pattern is a technique to separate expressions in one language (e.g., SQL) from the main code that is written in another programming language (e.g., Perl). This is done by keeping the expressions in a separate file – the phrasebook. Any specific expression is generated by finding the appropriate entry in the phrasebook and substituting application parameters into it. This separation makes maintenance easier both for the main application code and for the foreign language code."
