đŸĩ Max Question to (python) devs. How do you handle cognitive complexity in the main function? I usually manage to design small side functions but vscode complains about the main one having either too much parameters or a high cognitive complexity. It's usually due to nested loops that I don't manage to separate.
😏 Yt L. What do you mean by main function? Is this a kind of game dev thing? I handle functions that are too complicated by refactoring such that a function does a single thing. If many things need to be done I write many functions.

Diva I miss going to the cinema so much. It was always so much more than just going to see a film. I would have a meal and a drink, either before or after; I'd read and listen to reviews; I'd carefully choose which films to see. I'm still not sure when I'll have my next cinema outing...
😏 Yt L. I agree. We always played the game of, after the film, try to list all the previews. Challenging! Last movie I saw in theaters was The Gentlemen... Hope to be back soon.

🚴 Aditya Continuing on from 's thread: I started Mr. Robot back when it first came out. I *adored* the pilot, but didn't enjoy the rest of Season 1 as much. I never latched on to Season 2. Should I give it another shot?
😏 Yt L. I didn't enjoy season 2 as much when watching for the first time, but felt that it and season 1 were better when rewatching. I loved the show though.

đŸĩ Max I'm looking to build a web app to deploy a tiny python script I wrote. I have nearly 0 experience with web dev. At the moment I would like to implement it without using a framework like flask or django. I've heard of the websockets / asyncio packages, does anyone have references to guides or tutorials on this subject?
😏 Yt L. You could look into python anywhere, their free tier should let you run a short script once a day. They also support a very easy integration with flask. I'd recommend doing one of their tutorials if you're interested.
🚴 Aditya Yes! I'm there now. Very happy with the new place. Working on furnishing it now.
😏 Yt L. Congratulations! Hope you're enjoying the new place.

👉 LÊo I am watching Better Call Saul, really good acting. I've also enjoyed watching Westworld and the Handmaids Tale. Westworld's first season is by far the best, I think they really dropped the ball with the third one.
😏 Yt L. I had to stop watching Westworld season three. Shame. I thought they had good ideas, good effects, good cinematography, good actors... It just did not come together well and lost the magic season one had.
😀 Tom Nice! I plan on getting a hot tub in the not-to-distant future. No wife yet though, but one day.
😏 Yt L. I recommend both!

Diva Quiet days of rest and reflection should be mandated for our wellbeing. Just here, relaxing on Sunday, slowing right down. Hoping you are all enjoying your day!
😏 Yt L. I'm playing on my phone in the hot tub while my wife is making burgers. About as relaxed as can be right now. :)
Miso wooow that's quite amazing actually
😏 Yt L. Thanks. I was surprised it worked as well as it did. I'm actually having more trouble separating male from female writers. I guess Trump may be more different from others than male writers are from female. (Or my model just needs more work)

đŸ§ŋ Andrea Old style tape recorder? :)
😏 Yt L. That's a really great idea! I could transcribe it in the morning (I prefer having a searchable dream journal) :)

đŸ§ŋ Andrea Entertaining read - you could now build an adversarial system to spout trumpisms!
😏 Yt L. Thanks! I think adversarial generators are really interesting. I'd like to learn enough to put one together some day.

😏 Yt L. Just woke up from a VERY vivid dream which culminated in a car crash. Spent a few minutes writing down my dream and now it's hard to go back to sleep. I keep my dream journal on my phone and using my phone seems to have awakened me. Not ideal - but if I used pen and paper I'd need a light...

☕ David Antoine Observing the future to "collapse its associated wave function" and select a specific outcome to control future events? That could be a nice pitch for a movie or a TV show. Or a book. Maybe it has been done... But indeed, space, time, causality, emergence, quantum behavior, etc, are all part of a big puzzle that physicists are trying to solve while having been starved for the past decades of new/unexpected experimental data. It is a... Complicated field (duh).
😏 Yt L. I thought this is where they were going with Devs (spoilers) - they have a machine that can see the past or future but employees are forbidden from looking at the future. I thought the reason would be that looking at the future determines it, but they didn't really explore that.

Miso What are you current projects?
😏 Yt L. I recently setup rephrasor.com - an idea I had for competitive rephrasing. Now I'm working on a machine learning model to differentiate male from female writers (building on some success I had with a model to identify Donald Trump - link.medium.com/OS...
