Thanks to the toil of the folks at conda-forge, you can try out PyPy, a fast alternative Python implementation.

Not everything is available yet, but the bot just keeps on migrating: there's still lots to do, so stay tuned!

Obfuscating Python

Obfuscation isn't difficult in most programming languages. It's why we have "good practices" because it is so easy to hide what you mean in badly written code.

Obfuscation tends to be even easier in dynamic languages because of how forgiving they tend to be - and because they tend to give you direct access to the environment so that you can manipulate it.

Today, for fun, I'm going to obfuscate this code:

def _(n):

if n <= 0:

Comparison of syntax extensions in Markdown flavors

I created a crude comparison of the syntax of the various common Markdown extensions to have a better view on what are the most common extensions and what is the most widely accepted syntax for them. The list of Markdown flavors that I looked at was based on the list found on CommonMark's GitHub Wiki.

Flavor	Superscript	Subscript	Deletion* Strikethrough	Insertion*	Highlight*	Footnote	Task list	Table	Abbr	Deflist	Smart typo	TOC	Math	Math Block	Mermaid

Test Examples

Trying to identify testable things for use in autograders and automated code feedback tools...

Automated testing of computer code can be used to support learning in several ways.

For example, automated tests may be used to:

This gist I write, because I couldn't find step by step instructions 
how to install and start postgresql locally (using conda within a conda environment - with the result
that you can run it without sudo/admin rights on your machine!)
and not globally in the operating system (which requires sudo/admin rights on that machine).

I hope, this will help especially people new to postgresql (and those who don't have sudo/admin rights on a specific machine but want
to run postgresql there)!
