The `_` character has quite some meaning in Python:
- Can be used as thousands separator
- recalls the last value in the Python interpreter
- final clause in match statement
- prevents variables starting with _ from being imported with import *
- gettext translation function in built-in namespace
Mostly you will read that Python is easy to learn and `_` just a valid character for a variable name.
Free as in beer?
It’s been literally ages since i did some Turbo Pascal at school, reminded by the ‘p’ format character that encodes a Pascal string (first byte stores length of string) when packing/unpacking data with Python’s struct module.
And how is that worse? You still need to connect to that relay, not different from clicking random links in Instagram DMs, which would also reveal your IP
You can use Tor over VPN:
- ISP can’t see you’re using Tor
- Tor entry node can’t see real IP
- Can access .onion sites
- ISP/VPN can’t see traffic
- Simple setup
- Can choose what traffic goes through Tor
- Destination can see you’re using Tor
- VPN can see real IP
- Can’t access sites that block Tor
- Compromised Tor exit node can see traffic
Or VPN over Tor:
- Websites can’t see you’re using Tor
- VPN can’t see real IP
- Can access sites that block Tor
- ISP/VPN can’t see traffic
- Compromised Tor exit nodes can’t see traffic
- ISP can see you’re using Tor
- Tor entry node can see real IP
- Can’t access .onion sites
- Complex to set up
- Can’t choose which traffic goes through Tor
It’s been ages since I had one of these:
Upped the ante to 22 push-ups per Pomodoro interval, did 2 sets as the other app I tested didn’t log calories to close my Apple move rings. Not that those 3 calories matter anyway :)
You need to do 10 push-ups to burn the calories from one Tic Tac, 500 for the whole pack, 600 for the Big Pack, 1000 for the 100 pack and 2000 for the Bottle Pack. That’s a lot of work for a product that is marketed as sugar free and having only 2 calories.
Switched the push-ups to knuckles to spice it up a bit.
Zelensky could use a few, probably got bored from Sean Penn’s one.
4 Pomodoros done, that might have been the easiest 84 push-ups I’ve incorporated while having 100 minutes of productive Python study. Now a slightly longer recreational break if you catch what I mean :)
"We try to create teams that are no larger than can be fed by two pizzas," said Bezos. "We call that the two-pizza team rule."
That would be one average American then.
After trying my new productivity technique yesterday, which worked really well, some adaptions for today:
4 rounds:
25 minutes Python
5 minute break with 21 push-ups (for obvious reasons)
15 minute break, repeat.
Time is a created thing. To say “I don’t have time” is like saying, “I don’t want to”. - Lao Tzu
Of course only if you got accepted from the waiting list and open it in edge.
Btw. cool that you can link to specific answers in Bing AI now…
Can’t wait till chatGPT gets updated to GPT-4, so that it stops to recommend abstract base classes, when in fact it means a protocol class in Python. Bing AI is so much better in that regard…
My new productivity routine, the good old Pomodoro technique, 25 minutes focus, i.e. Python programming, and in my 5 minute break I do at least 20 push-ups. Best of both worlds.
