I am a software developer working mostly in Python.
My wife, my baby boy, and I live in Greenville, South Carolina.
Say hi!
Python type stubs for the sortedcontainers package. - GitHub - h4l/sortedcontainers-stubs: Python type stubs for the sortedcontainers package.
These stubs have only been out in a pypi package for about 2 months so many people do not know about them yet.
Proterra posted losses of $244 million in the first quarter of the year compared to a loss of $50 million in the same period last year. The company acknowledged its history of losses and admitted during its first quarter results it may not achieve profitability in the future.
Wow, that's a lot.
Prisma Health’s Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital Community Health and Wellness Space will offer adaptive wellness and sports opportunities to people with physical or intellectual disabilities, or chronic health conditions.
I'm a little surprised by the reaction to this idea (I assume downvotes mean people want the park instead).
There is a pretty nice park by the city hall just down the road that I assume attracts most of the visitors.
Having 220 more housing units right next to downtown means probably 400 or more people with walking distance to enjoy it. Seems like a win to me.
Greer is selling Victor Park (5 acres) near downtown, 220 housing units will be build on it and adjacent land
The downtown Greer park is home to Victor Park, which features a gym with a basketball court and a baseball field..

It looks like there are about 100 different feeds to choose from.
For reference, it looks like Greenville County gets about 4,000 new housing units a year. So this is 2% of them for this year. (source)
Visiting Death
I haven’t posted as much lately as it is summer, and I’ve been doing a lot of family trips. Including an Alaskan cruise the last two weeks. Such periods are supposed to be happy times, worth their extra cost in part due to our anticipating and remembering them fondly. But while such trips are indeed...
Robin explains that vacations are similar to death because you temporarily give up large parts your routines and habits that make you who you are.
Also, on his vacation the average age of the other vacationers was very old.

Status Leadership
Having a romantic partner is useful in many ways. You won’t be as lonely, you can ask them for advice, you can do activities together, and you can share transport and even a household with them. But if you look carefully, you will notice that many people don’t choose such partners mainly for their p...

Star formation peaked around 4Gyr after the Big Bang, Earth formed around 5.5Gyr later, and Earth is now 4.5Gyr old. The usual theory is that life arose within Earth’s first 0.4Gyr, but another possibility is that life first arose on a planet Eden around a star that formed near that 4Gyr peak. A roc...
We See The Sacred From Afar, To See It The Same
Robin has recently gotten his thoughts about the sacred published in a journal.
I'm curious what features are hard to find in the debuggers for other languages?
