Today in the classroom: This week is all kinds of messed up. I'm in school today and then out for three days for a funeral. Today is last minute review for all classes because they'll be taking their finals while I'm away. Main topics will be stoichiometry and thermochemistry. #teaching #chemistry :cupofcoffee:

I just ate a chocolate chip & M&M cookie for breakfast.

Lots of practice for a set of gift tags for secret Santa at work. I needed one more gift and this was my easy to do at home idea. #watercolor

I painted some mountains when I was able to get some quiet time this weekend. #watercolor #mastoart

So let's say I have a URL that's: sub.example.com/2025/12/some-slug Using an nginx rewrite rule, is there a way to take those legacy URLs and map them to example.com/sub/slug without breaking everything? #askfedi #nginx

I have done this painting many times and it still just feels muddy and smeary. I think I'm going too far with the darks so I'm losing contrast. #watercolor #mastoart

Is mypy still the type checker to start with in python? Or is it moving more toward something like pyright? I'm using Helix editor with pylsp right now. I'm trying wrap my head around how these different LSP servers work together or differently from one another.

My paintings this week have been blocky and choppy rather than light and loose. Maybe too much detail?

I think I went a little too dark too early with this one. #watercolor #mastoart

I've got "Writing Python Like It's Rust" open on my phone still because I think it'll help me write better code, even for myself.
