My latest blog posts:
- Intricate interleaved iteration, 30 Jan
Someone asked recently, “is there any reason to use a generator if I need to store all the values anyway?” As it happens, I did just that in the code for this blog’s sidebar because I found it the most readable way to do it. Maybe it was a good idea, maybe not. (read..) - Nat running, 14 Jan
I took this picture nine years ago, but it’s still one of my favorites (read..) - Testing some tidbits, 4 Dec
A custom test harness for some esoteric Python expressions (read..) - Dinner, 1 Dec
My son Nat has autism, and one way it affects him is he can be very quiet and passive, even when he wants something very much. This played out on our drive home from Thanksgiving this week. (read..) - and many more..
I maintain a few Python packages, including:
