Python packages with pyproject.toml and nothing else

I've been using setuptools and setup.py for my Python packages for a long time: I like that it works without me having to think about installing and learning any additional tools such as Flit or pip-tools or Poetry or Hatch .

Super useful somewhat demystification of the #chaotic world of #python #packaging

Building a Creative Practice

Building a Creative Practice

Source: open.substack.com

Could it even be the key to longevity?

Notes:

I think generative AI tools such as DALL-E and MidJourney for images and ChatGPT for text have scrambled people’s brains a bit. What the AI is capable of, and the way it presents its output to us is genuinely amazing and it’ll mess you up when you first see it.

Another concept I am learing about.

Center Cam Standard Package

Center Cam Standard Package

Source: thecentercam.com

Center Cam Standard Package includes: Center Cam Assembly, Adjustable clip mount, Lens Privacy cover. Center Cam Specs: 1080p Resolution, F2.1 lens, 30 FPS, 65 degree Horizontal Field of View. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux. USB-A/USB-C. Adjustable Clip Mount Specs: Opens up to 2". Unit is 5 Ft. long

Notes:

This seems like a very good tool! We do so many zoom calls these days, not to mention teaching over zoom. We’re used to the off center eye contact. But I wonder whether people will notice when you use this that you’re looking right at them. Maybe it will make you more persuasive or help you do better in negotiations?
