I was laid-off a few weeks ago and am looking for a new role. If anyone is looking for an experienced backend engineer who loves to build products & teams then please reach out or connect!

I have experience with #Python, Rust, lots of networking background, and more. Open to remote or hybrid roles in near Boston.

So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.

I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"

Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/por… )

Am I doing this wrong? (Code at github.com/TheKrafter/Grouping… )

My task was to wrote a custom import module in #python that can read data from an excel xlsx document. I had end up implementing it by using #xlrd module initially and later on I discovered it no longer handles xlsx files thus I converted it to use #openpyxl instead.


I'm looking for a new job, or contract work, for the first time in a while - boosts appreciated!

I'm a polyglot programmer, with a wide range of experience behind me, from developing firmware that runs on 8-bit AVR, to highly distributed systems across hundreds of nodes, I covered pretty much the whole landscape.

I had my fair share of Ops experience too, and worked in (technical) Customer Service aswell.

I speak many languages (#C, #Rust, #Lua, #Python, #JavaScript, some #Go among them), but I pride myself in being able to pick up a new language at a decent level between signing a contract and starting on the job.

I'm a #Linux guy through and through, and have very little experience (or desire) to work with anything else, save maybe for the BSDs. I worked with containers, databases (relational and otherwise); in the cloud and on premises. I can debug, I can mentor, I can teach, and build, and integrate (continuously, even!). I'm not afraid of git rebase, nor of a crowd to speak in front of.

I live in Hungary, and am seeking remote work. I cannot relocate.

If you are someone looking for something like that, or know someone who is, please get in touch. My CV - with contacts - is available here.

Happy Monday! I am looking for work.

I am looking for a role related to compilers ideally, but I'm also capable in numerical computing and back-end roles. I have experience with #Rust 🦀 and #Python 🐍 .

I have a deep knowledge of Python from working on #mypy and CPython itself. The quantum compiler I worked on was a mixed Python/Rust codebase.

I'm looking for remote/hybrid near SF Bay Area.

We have 2 openings in my team to work on #OpenSource full time vr.se/om-vetenskapsradet/jobba… #sunet #python #Linux #debian #sweden

I can vouch for the team & the management, and your work will directly affect research & higher education sector across the globe. Oh, also the identity developer role also means you will work on projects touching every EU residence's life.


Si tu fais de l'informatique, et que tu comprends pas toujours ce qui se passe dans ta babasse, parceque tu ne programmes qu'en #java, #javascript,#python je t'encourage vivement perdre quelques heures de ta vie pour regarder cette série de vidéo.

Hello #Fediverse! #Pinetta is a decentralized FOSS social pinboard in the style of Pinterest. After a month of planning, we've settled on a basic game plan and are opening up our @Codeberg repo for contributions from devs and designers!

We'll be working on a prototype that uses #Python and #Django to get the basic functionality working. We'll also be hosting weekly sharing sessions on #CommunityBuilding principles to develop our Code of Conduct and a larger framework for community wellness. 🥳


So let’s see if Mastodon can be used to find jobs. Please boost for visibility! 🙏

Irina Truong is one of the best senior #Python developers I know. Her work is always outstanding and polished. She also contributes to open source: github.com/j-bennet. You want her in your team, trust me.

Unfortunately she was part of the 13% recently laid off by #Elastic. This is your luck! She’s now open to work: linkedin.com/in/irinatruong


I used #OpenAI to write a poem about the programming language #Python. It's amazing, actually, that this works so well.

This website is going to change a lot about our society. I can see how it may change my life already.

Repeated the #compression #benchmark with the same file on a beefier machine (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X), results are quite identical, except faster overall.

This plot is also interesting:

- #gzip and #lz4 have fixed (!) and very low RAM usage across levels and compression/decompression
- #xz RAM usage scales with the level from a couple of MBs (0) to nearly a GB (9)
- #zstd RAM usage scales weirdly with level but not as extreme as #xz

#Python #matplotlib


First results of my #compression algorithm benchmark run on a 72MB CSV file. It seems #zstd really has something for everybody, though it can't reach #xz's insane (but slow) compression ratios at maximum settings.

This chart includes multithreaded runs for #zstd.

Very interesting! 🧐

Mindblowing 🤯

#Whisper is an #openSource #speechRecognition model written in #Python by #OpenAI. I’ve just seen it in action. Extract an #mp3 from a video, run it through Whisper, and it turns every spoken word into text. It even does a very decent job in #Danish. Perfect for subtitling #TV and #video. I am very impressed.

Do I know anyone who knows Python and want to help a nice project out?

Myuzi is a great, little music player for Linux. It streams just the sound from just music on YouTube, making it a perfect, simple FOSS alternative to Spotify. The dev is really nice and extremely responsive when there's a bug or a request!

But they can't seem to get their head around how to implement MPRIS support, so the app can't be controlled via media controls on the keyboard, etc.

Unfortunately I can't code. Could you help out? Here's the issue: gitlab.com/zehkira/myuzi/-/iss…

Just learned about GridReader, a free tool for Blind programmers that might make it easier to explore complex nested code. My #Python experience is limited to experimenting with the BBC Microbit, and so far i've just set my screen reader to report indentation level. #Blind coders: how do you handle indentation and navigating complex code bases? Does GridReader seem useful? psu.edu/news/information-scien…


Because I now have 2000 haracters, let's actually write something lengthy ☺️
So, first, I need to thank @talon for accepting my request.
I also need to apologise to @stux for going to an other instance.
I hope that everyone feels ok.
I made my own speech library, called unispeak, it's for python.
You can contribute at
github.com/paxcoder/unispeak
it's licensed under MIT license.
I hope that we will see that it's used more videly, especially in games.
You can get special license that you don't need to credit me for the software, this license is received if game is interesting enough.
btw, I am better and better in #python
btw, Talon, did you upgraded to macOS ventura?
I should probably fill out my profile on here.
Do I should add my github there too?
Since my website is down, because my hoster was a bad choice.
If you recommend a free hosting, what it would be?


Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.

#python peeps, is there a good overview of modern python practices? Types, tests, coverage, etc?

Orca, the screenreader, could use a lot of help with modernizing its code base.
