The Hidden Dangers of Python Decorators
Python decorators look like a great way to add functionality—until they break your type safety, hide function requirements, and turn debugging into a nightmare. This video shows you why decorators can be dangerous, the biggest pitfalls to watch out for, and when you should actually use them.
College Calculus – Full Course with Python Code
Learn college Calculus from an experienced university mathematics professor. You will also learn how to implement all the Calculus concepts using the Python programming language.
Debugging Python f-string errors
Brandon Chinn's blog post delves into a perplexing Python bug where using f"{x}" raises a TypeError, while str(x) functions correctly. He uncovers that f-strings internally invoke the__format__method, which can behave unexpectedly when dealing with proxy objects, such as those introduced by Temporal's sandboxing mechanism.
Garmin Grafana
A Python Script to fetch Garmin health data and populate that in a InfluxDB Database, for visualization long term health trends with Grafana.
