    I use xfce because it is stable, simple and lightweight. Perhaps I don't know what I'm missing but I'm very happy with it.

    This month I release an updated version of my "Practice Python Projects" book: https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/

    Next, I'm working on a TUI app (using Textual) for board games like Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four. These will also have a modified rule that requires forming a square instead of a line.

    >the syntax for nested list comprehensions has a rather... incomprehensible order

    I remember reading a blog post pointing out that the for-loop order stays the same between comprehensions and normal nested code. You write the outer loop first.

    Dupe: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=44284291 (117 points | 8 days ago | 28 comments)

    Seems like the link changed, and thus not caught by the dupe detector.

    I'm continuing to update my already published ebooks. Apart from catching up to new software versions, it also helps to address typos and other issues found by my readers.

    Last week I published a new version for my awk ebook (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli-text-processing-awk-ann...) and today I'll start working on sed ebook.

    A very different book, but I loved reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" [0] as well by the same author.

    [0] which used footnotes to great effect
