#qutebrowser is 11 years old, almost on the minute! I'm celebrating by releasing v3.4.0: listi.jpberlin.de/pipermail/…

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve. When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! 😅 #ProcGen

I've switched from @MacinCloud to @Scaleway for #qutebrowser macOS machines when wanting to e.g. reproduce a bug - 2.64€/24h with admin access, vs. having to pay $40 for 10 days access on a shared machine, which then expire after 60 days.

Only gripe with @Scaleway so far: I need to wait 24h until I can actually delete the instance again. I know Apple forces the rental period to be ≥ 24h, but it'd be so much easier if I had a "delete this in 24h" button immediately.

I used to use @MacStadium's OSS initiative for this, but I was one of the first beta testers for it in 2018, and the Late 2014 Mac Mini I got back then is only supported up to macOS Monterey. With that now being unsupported by Apple, unfortunately it's not very useful anymore.

Is there any #Python formatter that can be told to leave line breaks alone, and only unify things like quotes, spacing after commas, etc.? Use-case is code for my slides, where line breaks are always deliberate (space on slide / highlights). Would be cool to get rest consistent.

Great Introduction to hypothesis.works by @the_compiler thanks! It feels like Monte Carlo, but for software 👌🏻 @pytestdotorg – at Rapperswil-Jona, Schweiz

Spent an eternity on a single slide on #pytest selection arguments for failing tests. Hopefully worth it! Thanks to #LaTeX, all I need to draw one of those is a \drawex{1/good, 2/bad} etc. Allowed me to experiment with styles and colors easily.

I'm happy to announce that I'll be coffee break sponsor at the Swiss Python Summit (@pythonsummit)! ☕️ I designed a flyer for my #pytest trainings, it'll be shown next to the coffee machines. Was nice to work on a LaTeX doc without having to wait for 375 slides to be rebuilt.😅

The Swiss #Python Summit (@pythonsummit) is around the corner! A testing talk unfortunately had to be cancelled, so I'll be talking about property-based testing with #pytest + Hypothesis: pretalx.sifs0005.infs.ch/swi…

The always-on nature of open source is amazing, but hard. We get feedback from users 24/7... Constantly improving our tools based on that input. But some days, I wake up with a list of things to do, only to see five urgent issues appeared overnight.
