jensus··on Faster CPython 3.12 Plan
If it's static would it not get it's own allocation within each of the isolated interpreters?
jensus··on Whitby residents vote in favour of ending second home ownership
I believe the principle is that it is inherently bad that _anyone_ owns a second home.
jensus··on Stackit: Cloud and Colocation
I've not needed to verify identity to spin up VPS or order storage boxes. For what reason did you have to verify yourself?
jensus··on Raygui – A simple and easy-to-use immediate-mode GUI library
The evolution of HTML and CSS clearly shows that HTML isn't suited to describe a interface without massive hints to a rendering engine to manipulate it
jensus··on I use Attrs instead of Pydantic
had generally good experience creating typed wrappers for api's with json-schema-to-pydantic[0] converter

jensus··on Blender 2.93 LTS
I have no experience with blender but have been developing for maya for 7+ years or so. Python in Maya is very much a afterthought and extremely slow (even for Python standards). There is noting pythonic about the api which by all means is just a port of the mel interface.

The documentation is great, agreed, but I am not sure you can attribute that to the python part of Maya. The documentation structure goes back to pre python days.

If any of the major studios spent a fraction of their development budget on Blender rather than Maya (and contributed back to the community) I think we could see great strides in polishing Blenders usability for scripting.

jensus··on Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR
what are legislates if not the opinion of the current society (and for some countries the opinion of corporations)?

As in yes, with my current understanding of personal data, I do believe we should have laws safeguarding them - even at the risk of business'.

jensus··on Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR
From a subjective view I do not believe we want any business model that survives on utilising your data beyond the core of the product to exist e.g. I would think we want anyone to sell your data to add companies.

I do not believe there is a need for so much free stuff in general. But it should never be a situation where you have to pay for your data to be safe.

jensus··on Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR
the mental shift seems to be to not regard your customers data as your product but rather focus on your service as your product
jensus··on A call to improve London's lighting at night
the UK's implementation and seemingly general view on lighting seems to be very different than to the rest of Europe. For one, it is quite minimal, the major highways and public parks are barely lit. And the lighting used is so orange and so little lumen that it leaves the eye struggling to either adjust for the reflection of the moon or the street light, straight up awful. I don't mind a balance between preserving traditional feel around pubs etc but we definitely need to have public paths adequately lit.
jensus··on How I earn a living selling my open-source web-based invoicing application
found the site and app to be very snappy with a connection from England. Might give more understanding to your experience if you added some context, location, internet speed ect.
jensus··on Google is now a Visionary Sponsor of the Python Software Foundation
difficult to get this through without going through the established channels and dealing with the politics straight on
