PEP 690: Lazy imports in Python! Sounds like it will eliminate any reason to put import statements halfway through a file. Although it will be less explicitly obvious when something is imported at runtime, I think that might be a minor issue compared to the stylistic and performance benefit. https://peps.python.org/pep-0690/ "This PEP proposes a feature to transparently defer the execution of imported modules until the moment when an imported object is used."

since i was on my gist profile earlier i browsed through other stuff i put up and, lol, this looks like i'm about to apologise for saying something racist
i have wanted a safer, compatible alternative to `rm` for a long time, and finally found it: https://github.com/rushsteve1/trash-d
it's not perfect, so i made a couple of pull requests today. likely more tomorrow

YouTube has started putting a red circle around channel icons if they posted a Short™️ recently. This red circle is easily misinterpreted because it's usually the universal signifier that someone is live 😑
Google knows that some people are ignoring this Shorts anti-feature on purpose, and they think we're going to change our minds if they trick us into using it. How silly.

every time I do a slice with square brackets in Python, I use the REPL to check the syntax. I have done it hundreds of times and I can never remember which order to put the colons :p bleh. The REPL is really nice for quickly checking these minor details

Isn't there a Mastodon fork with a "followers-only boost" feature? Like "boost with different visibility" or something. I don't think it would be worth patching my server for, but I'm curious what the change would be. I might just be thinking of a different fedi software
