No More GIL! the Python team has officially accepted the proposal (PEP-703)

La fondation Mozilla alerte l'opinion au sujet d'un article du projet de loi visant à sécuriser et réguler l’espace numérique (SREN) qui « créerait un dangereux précédent et servirait de modèle à d’autres gouvernements pour à leur tour transformer les navigateurs en outils de censure gouvernementale. »

This is a port of Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection, a collection of 40 single-player logic games. It’s free, with no ads, and is playable offline. All games are generated on demand with adjustable size and difficulty, so you’ll never run out of puzzles.

Following last week animated PDF adventure, I have been reading a series of one page dungeons... And yesterday I had the opportunity to play the best one in my opinion: The Sky-Blind Spire by Michael Prescott.

It has everythng I love on one page: a maze to explore, mysteries to …

Nitter is a free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy and performance. The source is available on GitHub at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

• No JavaScript or ads
• All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
• Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
• Uses Twitter's unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
• Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 60KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)
• RSS feeds
• Themes
• Mobile support (responsive design)
• AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted
  Nitter's GitHub wiki contains instances and browser extensions maintained by the community.

Why Give Up GitHub?

• Copilot is a for-profit product. [...] Its AI model was trained exclusively with projects that were hosted on GitHub [...] Microsoft and GitHub have been ignoring these license requirements for more than a year
• GitHub has a for-profit software services contract with the USA Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• While GitHub pretends to be pro-FOSS, their entire hosting site is, itself, proprietary and/or trade-secret software
• GitHub has long sought to discredit copyleft generally. Their various CEOs have often spoken loudly and negatively about copyleft [...] GitHub is wholly owned by Microsoft, a company whose executives have historically repeatedly attacked copyleft licensing

How Do I Give Up GitHub?

Cependant, la procédure de cet appel d’offres interroge. En effet, elle semble avoir été construite aux bénéfices exclusifs de la société américaine, alors même que des entreprises françaises de logiciels libres proposent des solutions aux fonctionnalités et performances équivalentes.

Anticor pointe une relation commerciale dangereuse entre une administration française et un géant du numérique jouissant d’un monopole quasi-absolu alors même que des entreprises offrent des solutions équivalentes.

Un outil comme celui-ci est utile pour fournir une version texte d'un fichier média (audio ou vidéo). L'objectif de ce programme est de fournir un outil simple et rapide pour permettre de récupérer un texte et l'utiliser comme version numérique.

Au commencement était le projet de communs numériques "Common Voice" initié par la fondation Mozilla [...] Puis vint le projet du logiciel libre Vosk, à l'initiative d'un collectif de chercheurs (Alpha Cephei) [...] Enfin, vint le projet de transcription de Tykayn, contributeur de l'association "April" [...] Pour finir, vint le projet Scribe, à l'initiative de l'équipe SI des Ceméa qui créa cette interface, simple et fonctionnelle, basique pour proposer aux utilisateur·rices de bénéficier de l'ensemble de ces fonctionnalités sous une forme plus conviviale.

Today I made a small addition to a Javascript library I sometimes use to generate nonograms.

This tool can now build a solvable grid in the form of a valid QR Code that, once decoded, reveals some text:

fpdf2 is a simple & fast PDF creation library for Python that I have been maintaining since mid-2020.

In this article, I'm going to present some of the new features that landed since my last post on the subject. Hence, this will cover versions 2.5.0, 2.5.1 & 2 …

Added

• new parameters new_x and new_y for cell() and multi_cell(), replacing ln=0, thanks to @gmischler
• new add_highlight() method to insert highlight annotations: documentation
• new offset_rendering() method: documentation
• new .text_mode property: documentation
• the page structure of the documentation has been revised, with a new page about adding text, thanks to @gmischler
• a warning is now raised if a context manager is used inside an unbreakable() section, which is not supported

Changed

• local_context() can now "scope" even more properties, like blend_mode: documentation

Fixed

• No font properties should be leaked anymore after using markdown or in any other situations (cf. #359), thanks to @gmischler
• If multi_cell(align="J") is given text with multiple paragraphs (text followed by an empty line) at once, it now renders the last line of each paragraph left-aligned,
  instead of just the very last line (cf. #364), thanks to @gmischler
• a regression: now again multi_cell() always renders a cell, even if txt is an empty string - cf. #349
• a bug with string width calculation when Markdown is enabled - cf. #351
• a few bugs when parsing some SVG files - cf. #356, #358 & #376
• a bug when using multi_cell(..., split_only=True) inside an unbreakable section - cf. #359

Deprecated

• The parameter ln to cell() and multi_cell() is now deprecated, use new_x and new_y instead.
• The parameter center to cell() is now deprecated, use align="C" instead.

Displaying deprecation warnings

DeprecationWarnings are not displayed by Python by default.

Hence, every time you use a newer version of fpdf2, we strongly encourage you to execute your scripts
with the -Wd option (cf. documentation)
in order to get warned about deprecated features used in your code.

This can also be enabled programmatically with warnings.simplefilter('default', DeprecationWarning).
