Impossible Linux things in my to-do list:
- Fix erratically jumping mouse wheel scrolling on a Dell
- Make a “SysRq key” work so I can do “REISUB” or something, when my computer freezes
I must have spent days (multiples of 24 hours) trying to solve these things and maybe I should just give up.

Pessoas da comunidade brasileira de #ProgramaçãoCriativa por muitos anos fizeram encontros sob o nome promovido pela Fundação Processing, os chamados #ProcessingCommunityDay, fizemos encontros em várias cidades e então depois de 2020, com a pandemia do COVID-19, fizemos três eventos nacionais muito inspiradores em 2021, 2022 e 2023 (vide https://compoetica.github.io/links/)
Ano passado não conseguimos fazer e este ano pretendemos retomar, só que usando outro nome: #Compoética. Vamos aos poucos divulgar mais sobre o encontro brasileiro de programação criativa em https://compoetica.github.io/CP2025/
Meus agradecimentos profundos ao @guilhermesv@guilhermesv que dedica generosamente um enorme esforço para organizar esses eventos da comunidade e cria o design e peças de comunicação sempre emocionantes de lindos.
Lazy-fedi-question… I have a “working”(?) code example of TF-IDF #tfidf using #scikitlearn and I know the main concepts, but all the tutorials I find are a bit — I don’t want to be harsh but —crappy… Can someone point me to some nice open resource on it?
Serasa Experian é uma empresa tão pilantra mas tão pilantra que agora estão descaradamente fazendo spam a partir de emails coletados do registro brasileiro de domínios (Registro.BR) é muito irritante.

Cheers @melissawm@melissawm ! Sorry for the chaotic and ill defined question (I’m sure I’ll sound like a learner mixing concepts, but that’s what I am in this domain). Could we make a dtype out of Py5Vectors (I seem to remember something about custom dtypes) so we get the vectorized goodness out of an array of Py5Vectors? That would allow us to avoid converting to and from them… Inside #py5 vectors they have the data in a #numpy array.

Catastrophic #HackMD failure today :(
I use it when teaching most of my classes, they had some outage today, https://status.hackmd.io says they are back up but… all my notes are marked “offline” and I can’t edit them! I need them for my classes!
I usually edit them together with the participants during class, we all share code and image results.
(I’m happy to have backed up locally most of my notes, but still… I’m very upset as I have many ongoing classes)
Update: After some more 5XX, it seems to be working again. But the “offline” bug/issue is scary (the offline flag/button still flashes). A good reminder that “the cloud” is other people’s servers.

I’m afraid I botched the previous release of my #ThonnyIDE + #py5 portable bundle for Windows users, by somehow using an outdated py5 package
:(((
I think I fixed it now:
looks like one can do !pip install <something> on Thonny’s interactive console but, not much else :(
I don’t understand very well what is going on…
Hi, dear people on #WIndows, can you check form me if on #ThonnyIDE you can do !jupyter lab on the interactive console down on Thonny’s window? It works on Linux! (you have to have #JupyterLab installed)
I can check this tomorrow but I was surprised… (I was trying %run a few months ago and it didn’t work) now I hope I can try #py5’s live coding feature launching it from Thonny like this also…
I’m too lazy to check this myself this Sunday, so I’ll just ask…
how much of a performance penalty is paid if someone adds #Python imports statements inside a helper function body so it can be just copied and pasted around?
I guess the optimal thing would be to add the imports at the top of a module with the helpers so they occur only once when one imports the function, instead of being evaluated each time the function is called, but, in the context of didactic examples it is handy for the learner to have the helper function together with the example… but then I could move the imports to the top… but then I’m lazy, and… so many decisions…
As pessoas ainda falam “tralha” para “#”? Como vocês falam?
Octothorpe eu sei que não falam!
Would you like to get started learning #Python? Or maybe you already know how to code but would like to see something completely different from your current work?
Would it appeal to you to start #drawing stuff, maybe colourful moving, interactive stuff? There is this thing called #CreativeCoding, and you can use a library called #py5
I’ve written some step-by-step instructions so you can install everything you need, Python, a code editor and py5. Check it out at https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/index-EN.html
Cheers @py5coding@py5coding!
Is it an undocumented feature that py5.image() can take PIL image objects directly, without having to first convert them to Py5Image objects with py5.convert_image()?
(I know converting the images opens up plenty of other possibilities, but I found this by accident and I’m curious, that might be handy sometimes)

Cheers @zenbrowser@zenbrowser,
I’m loving #ZenBrowser!
For some reason a few of my pinned tabs seem to be moving back to the first Space Workspace, after moving them to new one a few times (and restarting the browser, I guess). Any tips? Could it be a known issue?
O Google Drive/Docs tá tendo um soluço ou é só aqui?
Public library: free Wi-Fi
Captive portal based Wi-Fi: failing – it seems common to fail worse on Linux for some reason (better man in the middle sec?)
Form to complain: Google docs, times out.

Clumsy tip for #ZenBrowser. If the browser refuses to close a stuck tab, move it to a new window and close the window!
Hey fedifriends, would you know any nice beginner friendly tutorials on #Blender #GeometryNodes to share?
Small joy of the day: instead of dealing with requests I can do py5.load_strings(url) :D
@zenbrowser@zenbrowser a restart made the workspaces work l guess :)
I went in panic when I asked for a container in the workspace and all my essential pins disappeared! :(
But I turned off the container and they came back! :)

@zenbrowser@zenbrowser cool I found that right-clicking the “Space” heading I could create a new workspace! :)
But I can’t seem to have multiple open tabs on it, and the tabs that I tried to send to it disappeared :(

Hi @zenbrowser@zenbrowser, can someone give some tips on using workspaces?
I can’t seem to be able to create a workspace or switch to another one.
The “send tab to workspace” context menu shows a single “Space” entry and also doesn’t seem to do anything? Any documentation or tips?

I wish the #ZenBrowser documentation gave some info about the “tab unloading” features (I couldn’t find any), it seems to be very cool, but I don’t understand how it works.

Thank you @py5coding@py5coding! the new py5 “Processing Libraries install” feature is such a smash!

Where Tim O’Reilly sees almost only opportunities, with optimism, I see many unwanted side effects, with pessimism. I think I’d prefer a more skeptical analysis.
Now the point I disagree most vehemently is when he speaks of AI tools in counterpoint to traditional programming tools: “one that can write poetry but struggles with basic arithmetic, another that calculates flawlessly but lacks creativity.”
No! LLMs can’t write decent poetry and don’t have creativity, it’s basically a stochastic-based plagiarism machine!

Os meus podcasts prediletos durante anos desconfio que nunca tiveram nenhum desses dois formatos (posso estar enganado… será que você classificaria como super produção?)
