Well, time to get the ball rolling on the next phase of PEP 703 (getting rid of the global interpreter lock): https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-779-criteria-for-supported-status-for-free-threaded-python/84319

If you have been using #py5 for a while, this page about #matplotlib integration is a documentation gem It opens up the possibility of making "live", real time and interactive, maplotlib charts, but even if you are not into #dataviz, it shows the beautiful #profiling tools integrated with py5 and how to use #threading to improve performance. In the end you also learn about named colors and the clever "Colormap Color Mode" feature.

#Python 3.13 RC2 was made available in #Tumbleweed & brings exciting features like the experimental JIT #compiler and a no-GIL option for improved #threading #performance! #openSUSE #Linux #opensource https://news.opensuse.org/2024/09/11/python313/

Ah! I've just realized a 'truth' about #Mastodon #functionality in #threading

Previously, #threading just seemed to jumble all the replies to any post in the thread at the bottom of the whole thread.

This was a problem because many replies are about that particular post, and the connected original post from the thread isn't there with it, so it's a loss of info and confusing.

So it sure looks like #Reddit is going to eat itself in the next week or so. The recent AMA from the CEO pretty much shows they are going the Twitter route. Trying to monetize a platform in a way that's going to drive the users away from it.

I had hoped that #Mastodon would be the thing that could replace both Reddit and Twitter, but without a federated #groups model, or proper #threading, or similar tools, it's not going to work.

So where y'all going?

Can someone point me to a human understandable writeup of 'how to do stuff in parallel in Python'? I have no idea about it and see things like subprocess, async, threading, concurrent and I have no idea what it all means (I'm ok with some nice, linear Python) #python #threading #async #parallel #halp

Is there any tool for aggregating long Mastodon #tootstorms into a more tractable reading format? Sort of like birdsite's ThreadReader?

Is there an effective way to thread posts on Mastodon? In my feed I see posts. Many are from the same author, replying to their own post, in a cascading series. Is there a setting I can use to put all of these posts and replies in line? As opposed to saying them randomly in my feed?

Has there been any talk about making threads more organized on Mastodon? Or is this again a question of which server you are on or which app is being used? I’m talking about making it more clear who is responding to who in convos. Maybe also keeping interesting tangential convos organized so they are easier to follow? I’m not a programmer so I’m assuming this may be a challenge. Or it’s easy to do and I’m just clueless #newbie question #threading #threads #mastodon #TwitterMigration
