If you're like me and don't care for VSCode but still want to use Cursor, try Aider. It's a powerful tool with many cool features. The only downside is that you have to configure and use it through the terminal. For those who love Vim, it's a perfect companion. #ai #tools #cli

Can you spot the point on the chart where I quit smoking shisha and stopped drinking alcohol?

We can never have "too many Python posts." What's the difference between __getattr__ and __getattribute__ in a class? __getattr__ acts as a fallback when an attribute isn't found. __getattribute__ triggers every time an attribute is accessed, existing or not. #python

I recently upgraded from AirPods Pro 1 to AirPods Pro 2, and the improvement in noise cancellation is striking. I didn't expect such a difference. I can't even hear the air conditioner, which is running quite close to me.

Let's make steaks tastier.

Now we are talking! I'm on the brink of hitting 100 WPM!

There's some cooking happening.

How I Make Photos and How My Wife Does

Do you have a private Docker registry for your personal projects?

It's Friday, my Python day! No JavaScript here. Newbies often overlook the Walrus Operator 🦦. It's handy, but don't overdo it—code readability can suffer. Fan or critic of the Walrus Operator? 🦦 #python #tips #walrus

I beat my record! Typing fast is my passion, and reaching nearly 100 wpm is exciting. Want to know why speed typing matters for developers? I can make an article about that.

I've been using dark mode in the evenings for a while now and have gotten used to the colors. In general, I like having dark mode enabled when the sun isn't out.

Sleeping more than 7 hours is a way to show you are lazy. Nevertheless, I think you should sleep enough time to rest. Just, do you really need more? #sleep

Weekend Play

I don't know how people use Android phones. The iPhone isn't perfect. Despite that, once you've tried it, you don't want to deal with other phones.

ChatGPT sees me in that way. It looks like the first picture from my older days when I used a secondary monitor.

Is it Friday? Today is Python day. I think we don't need functions in Python; it's easy to use just classes. Jokes aside, we can use a class as a callable function. By specifying the `__call__` method inside a class, you can use an instance of that class as a function.

I get why folks choose Linux over MacOS—there are plenty of perks. But using Windows for work? What's the logic there?

buying books ≠ reading books

Someone asked why I'm interested in Vim motions. Dude... Moving the cursor is boring. Typing fast as a starship is awesome.

I love these numbers.

Upgrades for Wi-Fi Repeater

When some of my Python posts gained more reach in a day than X did in a month.

Time to test some new models!

Python Fridays is here! Let's talk dictionaries. Accessing a non-existent key throws a KeyError. Want to avoid this? Use a default value with a magic method. #python #programming

Tried the Deepsick R1 model for a few days. Everyone claims it's superior to O1, but I disagree. R1 is just a tweaked GPT-4O. It's cost-effective, but being cheaper doesn't make a BMW 3 Series fly across oceans like a private jet.

If you're still using the QWERTY layout, you're cooked. I'm thinking about learning the Colemak layout. I currently average 70 wpm with QWERTY, and I believe switching could increase my typing speed. Additionally, Colemak seems easy to learn since many keys stay in the same positions. #colemak

Vim is everywhere.

If I quickly click a button by mistake, I often move the cursor away right away, avoiding any further action. Do you handle it the same way?

People often assume that developers love refactoring, but no one enjoys dealing with their own 5,000-line file.

Hey, Algo, could you connect me with software engineers and other STEM professionals? #software #developers #coding
