Does anybody have a relatively blemish-free first edition of the Pascal User Manual and Report by Jensen and Wirth they are willing to sell to me? It is a cherished childhood memory but I never possessed a copy. It must be from around 1974 or before.
My laptop and its charger have reached a stalemate: the laptop refuses to charge beyond 80%, and the charger refuses to change its light from orange to green.

Incredibly proud to see my colleague @gvanrossum be honored for developing the Python programming language. Today, it’s one of the most popular programming languages and I’m thrilled his work is being recognized.

@gvanrossum Pascal User Manual and Report, 1974 first ed. dropbox.com/scl/fi/dal9ugx…
@gvanrossum I've got second edition, 1974, kind of ragged:
@gvanrossum I have two pretty good copies of the 1974 edition signed by Niklaus Wirth. It can sit on the shelf next to the other signed book I recently gave you :) I already have your address so I will send one to you carefully packed. I visited his home back in 2012.
Urgh, personal nightmare scenario - my personal domain expired and it turns out it's hooked up to an old email address I no longer have access to Going through an account recovery process now but it may take another 24 hours to sort out Glad I don't use it for my primary email!
Help me understand, why do they want to ban TikTok that doesn’t apply to YouTube or Facebook.
Having spent the last 1.5 weeks coding, I appreciate how important it is to block 3-4 hour blocks of time to do deep work. It's extremely hard to get back to focused work when context switching all the time.
Today, Facebook reminded me that I got to hang out with Python BDFL Guido van Rossum four years ago at PyCascades. That was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again sometime. Open source has been good to me. 🐍
It took years, but little by little VSCode won my hearth over Emacs. I still struggle with a few things here and there and some muscle memory. But what did it for me was working in large codebases (Command-P, Patch UI, Search Bar).
@raymondh In the sense of 'explicit is better than implicit' I prefer the 'wordy' version, especially if the function body is longer than this simple example. a freestanding return at the end could make the impression it is the only one. If it is under an else you know there are other ones…
@gvanrossum Guido, van harte gefeliciteerd met deze prestigieuze prijs. Ook aan de hele Python groep. Groet, Paul
"Who's taking notes?" "Let's hit record and let the AI do it." *This* is a killer feature. AI takes way better notes than I'd ever manage, attributes to speakers, links to jargon definitions, and calls out action items.
@mitsuhiko @llanga Also one of the principles is "we're all consenting adults here", which implies that if you want to code dangerous things, you can. There seems to be a whole cultural move towards paternalism/nanny-stating, but CPython traditionally hasn't taken that approach.
@gvanrossum I ended up having to order a new one because I couldn't clear all the gunk that had clogged the filter and the drain pump because it was more expensive to get it fixed.
@gvanrossum shouldn't it say "Moderate Weather Alert"?
So I followed @GaryMarcus's suggestion and had my undergrad class use ChatGPT for a critical assignment. I had them all generate an essay using a prompt I gave them, and then their job was to "grade" it--look for hallucinated info and critique its analysis. *All 63* essays had
