I tried to capture #solarEclipse2026 properly - elevated spot (Dívčí kameny in #krkonoše), an APS mirrorless camera, 70-350 mm tele-lens, 1000 (and 64) ND filters. The pictures are not extraordinary but I enjoyed the moment very much. #photography 1/...

Z dnešního kurzu #streetphotography od @kevinvton.bsky.social (kevin-v-ton.com) jsme měli za úkol si odnést aspoň jednu kloudnou fotku. Tohle je můj pokus. A kurz byl hodně fajn, doporučuji. #photography #bw

Would this be a good approximation? One note - on my system, even when aggregating over 1e8 calls, the results vary by ~10 %. Duration of time + range + dict calls: 9.4e-08 Duration of range and dict calls: 4.6e-08 Net difference: 4.8e-08
from time import time

big_number = int(1e9)

def run_in_local_scope():
    # Make the access to time faster (is it?)
    t = time

    # Measure the duration of both time(), range and dict calls
    start_time = t()
    end_time = {0: t() for _ in range(big_number - 1)} and t()
    duration_time = (end_time - start_time) / big_number

    # Measure the duration of the range and dict calls
    start_rest = t()
    end_rest = {0: None for _ in range(big_number - 1)} and t()
    duration_rest = (end_rest - start_rest) / big_number

    print(f"Duration of time + range + dict calls: {duration_time}")
    print(f"Duration of range and dict calls: {duration_rest}")
    print(f"Net difference: {duration_time - duration_rest}")

    return t

The time of the year when leaves and not just leaves fall from #ginkgo trees. The ginkgo fruit has some very partcular odour. #photography
