Oh nice, that's better!

At least you managed to make it work! For a while, I couldn't do anything at all :P

Not sure I follow what you mean by “on normally spaced strings less replacing to do”.

I like " {2,}" because it's easy to miss the double space in the original " +"... I'll replace it, thanks!

I wrote 0 blog posts in February.

Today I already wrote 2.

Go figure. 🤷

Came up with 4 random ways to do this.

2, I recommend you use them (although 1 doesn't work!)

The other 2 are really cool — they use fixed points and `itertools.groupby` — but they'll be overkill 99.9% of times.

I meant “This is, shortEN runs of 2+ [...]”

Remove extra spaces Learn how to remove extra spaces from a string using regex, string splitting, a fixed point, and itertools.groupby.

It was a random thought, indeed.

For a bit more context, see the second approach and how it doesn't work 100%: mathspp.com/blog/remove-...

Nope because if you have newlines, for example, those will disappear!

How do you collapse runs of adjacent spaces in Python?

That is, shorter runs of 2+ consecutive spaces so there's only 1 space there?

I can't come up with a simple/straightforward way to do it with `str.join` and I'm surprised...

What am I missing?

Ok, obrigado!

Pretty impressive! Annoying, but impressive!
And do you have any idea of how much data you spent? In case something similar happens to me 😂
(My internet has been acting out.)

Pode dar um exemplo de cada só para eu não ter de rever a série até perceber? 🙏

Hey all! It's almost time for the next Python Lisbon Meetup! 🐍

On Thursday, pyctrl will be talking about exceptions. We'll cover the origin of exceptions, their usage in OOP, how best to manage them, and more. It's going to be exceptional! 💎

How did it go? 😬

Thanks for sharing! Neither star nor asterisk are usages that shock me. And yeah, sometimes it’s implied by the context, absolutely.

Ahhhh that’s what you meant by McGugan boxes! Right :D thanks for the link

That’s not what I meant with the question. _What_ are the McGugan boxes?

Then what do you do after I type

“def f(args)”?

🤣

Interesting... 🤔

So if you're dictating the signature of the function

def f(*args):
...

You just say “def F args”?

I read it as “star args”.

How do you read `*args` in a function signature?

PLEASE reply with how you'd read it, I'm trying to prove someone wrong 🤣

Reposts are appreciated :D

What’s the box drawing technique you’re referring to?

👀

What do LLMs see?

I wrote a lil' tool that extracts the attention matrices out of open models and creates this typing visual, with each token's opacity changing according to its average attention score as the prompt progresses. Dimmer words are considered less important to the model.

`itertools.compress` explained in a simple diagram.

Useful when you need to filter an iterable of data based on a second iterable of flags or selectors.

Diagram explaining how starmap works across a stream of data for a given iterable with pairs (a, b) and a binary function f, producing the iterable with items f(a0, b0), f(a1, b1), etc.

How does this slide look?

Oh, must’ve missed the mastodon Q.

Heh, I had a talk accepted... By accident, since I had withdrawn all my proposals already but I must've done it in between them accepting one of my talks and sending out the emails 🤣
