Today I realized #Go and #Rust both have panics instead of exceptions and both originate from the second half of the 2000s. These facts are now mentioned in gato-lang.dev If you have experience with Go or Rust, I'm interested in your thoughts on the lack of exceptions in these […]

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash […]

If like me you still use #Firefox and you find the new way of selecting a search engine in the URL bar to be annoyingly inefficient, you can get the old way back by toggling the browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride setting to false.

Screenshot of a Firefox window with the Advanced Preferences (about:config) page opened in its only tab, showing the browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride setting toggled to false.

I've just published a new Python module: github.com/Changaco/python-memory-i… It's an interesting little tool that tries to find all the Python objects in memory and compiles statistics on them. Did you know that Python creates quite a few […] [Original post on mastodon.cloud]

Screenshot of the top of an HTML page generated by the memory_inventory module, containing a table listing the classes that could be optimized by giving them slots. The third and sixth rows of the table are for “classmethod” and “staticmethod”, two builtins usually called as decorators.

Screenshot of the top of another HTML page generated by the memory_inventory module, containing a table listing strings that appear multiple times in memory. The first string in the table mentions PEP 585. Its 44 duplicates waste 6.38 kilobytes of RAM. The second string is “encodings”. Its 122 duplicates waste 6.1 kilobytes of RAM.

Today is the 8th anniversary of @Liberapay's launch. Coincidentally, I have an announcement to make. I'm looking for someone to open a new chapter in the project's history by becoming its second maintainer. That doesn't mean it's a programming job, although help in that area is always welcome […]
