hacknorris

okay - tags i'd to see here implemented forever: gtk, pygobject, kde, dearpygui (quite a new framework but im gonna use it). if i'll get other ideas - i'll message here

Pax

Good afternoon (there), Jack! Please add the tag "pyinstaller" in my newest question.

Pax

Thank you, Jack!

Pax replying to Jack Douglas

no preference. vs-code works

Jack Douglas replying to Pax

I added `pyright` and `vs-code` — would you prefer `vscode`?

PeterVandivier replying to Pax

Saved by permissive edit times ;-)

Pax replying to PeterVandivier

Sorry. 🙈

PeterVandivier replying to Pax

\* please

Pax

@Jack Please add tags: "VS Code" and "pyright"

@@@ question 1589

Pax

Ehrm. I just realized that I'm using abc.ABCMeta wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pax

Why did Python core developers decide to "allow" instantiation of abstract classes (classes that are inheriting from abc.ABC or abc.ABCMeta)? Is it one of those, "we are all responsible adults here. put underscore at the beginning of private properties. don't access them directly even if you _can_"

Hello everybody! I was wondering if any of you dabbles in Machine Learning, and if you could recommend me some bibliography for TensorFlow. Thanks ;)

Pax

Just putting this here for easy reference. I will soon gather them to a Meta Question here.

Pax

Relevant meta post

Jack Douglas

They are all good thoughts — and mostly applicable in other communities too. I guess an answer that's useful for future users is one that explicitly draws out a principle of good coding, so we have to hope that that is the way people will vote in practice

Pax

Or maybe I don't have to come up with a comprehensive draft.... and just put the last 3 messages I have here in the Meta Question 🤔

Pax

Also wondering whether CR could be inline with TA's goal of being a "library of knowledge" --- Can CRs ever be crafted so it's useful for future users?

Pax

So far I have.... "Code should already be a working solution?" --- thinking through as well what that would look like given TA's Q&A format.

Pax replying to Jack Douglas

Drafting a guideline for what is eligible for "Code Review" will take time because [reasons]

Jack Douglas replying to Pax

please do!

Pax

. Will make a Meta Question about "Code Reviews"

Jack Douglas

I'd be very interested to hear your thinking and how it has evolved

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

The side room on [this question](https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=211) is probably a good place to chat

laserkittens

My thoughts on how to go about that have evolved a bit. You can thank Charles Taylor (among others) :P

laserkittens replying to Jack Douglas

Well, I'd love to discuss that (albeit not necessarily here since I don't want to deride the Python conversation haha)

Jack Douglas

I don't think you have so far claimed to be a database expert but your skills seem to be growing and branching out in all sorts of directions judging by your posts on TA ;)

David replying to Jack Douglas

Not judging from my Q's on Databases.TA.... 🤷‍♂️

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

He is a clever chap ins't he?

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

Aha! Nice to have you around :) We'll need a BH site here one of these days ;)

laserkittens replying to PeterVandivier

I’ve never seen that before! Awesome haha (not sure how I missed it)

laserkittens

it doesn’t help that I change my profile pic and username way too often

laserkittens

Davïd figured it out :P

laserkittens

  Dan. Former user/mod at BH.SE

David replying to laserkittens

So good to see you! (Well, "see" you!) I'm a bit disappointed in @Jack who seems not to have cracked your cyber-identity. 😅 Hope you can stick around, and have some fun in the other "areas", too. :+1:

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

I don't remember the laserkittens name, were you called something else?

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

Yes we can repro that. Not sure why I didn't notice it before…

laserkittens

Once I requested mobile site it worked fine.

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

Thanks for the bug report, I wasn't aware of that

Jack Douglas replying to laserkittens

Hello :)

laserkittens

i see some familiar faces. Hello again @David and @JackDouglas :)

laserkittens

Never mind. Apparently requesting the mobile site makes it work! w00t!

Firefox for iOS Version 28.2 (2470) in case anyone wants to know

laserkittens

guess this will be throwaway account
