for anyone curious about learning, i made an online port of UXN using emscripten that allows you to code and compile and emulate in a browser:

Gilbert Strang is fantastic, both his videos and written material

i've been using this for a few months now. super easy to get set up and run yourself!

I made an online environment for UXN programming, assembling, and emulating the CLI environment using emscripten

check it out if you're learning uxn or just want to try loading a rom and seeing the source or modifying it to learn

glad others enjoy it! checkout https://orca.wtf as well, a similar, fun project that includes MULTIPLAYER

I made a livecoding site for playing around with Orca, alongside a tutorial of sorts. It's already patched to a synthesizer so it's ready to go, and has examples/tutorials you can load.

I've been playing around with orca for a few months: its really exciting and fun to use.

Here are some videos of patches I think are cool:

Granted I don't work at Splunk anymore, but did recently. They were definitely working hard on migrating everything to python3, and if I remember, they had a planned roll out where python2/python3 would co-exist.

However, if you've been using the python SDK for Splunk - its been supporting python3 for a few years already (https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-python/commit/4503db961...)

See this blog post: https://www.splunk.com/blog/2019/07/01/admins-and-developers...

And this helpful doc: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Python3Mi...

Have you considered putting art on your machine?

metasyn | 7 years ago | on: Pipenv: promises a lot, delivers very little

We recently switched to using poetry over pip and virtual envs. All the additional tooling poetry provides is amazing - actual dependency resolution, script entry point, building, version bumping, publishing. The author is awesome too. Also making python3 tooling possible on python 2/3 packages. I'd highly recommend trying it out.

Pipenv on the other hand was not only slower, but _failed_ to actually resolve our dependencies correctly. Additionally, it was slower. And looking up the issues, I can echo that the development team seems a bit defensive and dismissive.
