Just some quick linework with symmetry tools for tonight’s bedtime #drawing

@rhosyn No, this was Ibis Paint. Linea stays away from that kind of stuff.

@rhosyn all right I had a little more caffeine.
Linea focuses on being constrained, more like a digital sketchbook than an image manipulation tool. A small set of brushes (each with a few variations), a fixed canvas size, and a predefined number of layers. No filters, layer modes, or symmetry tools.
Which is awesome for doodling or my elaborate meditative stuff.
But I’m refreshing myself on the other apps for things like coloring books and other suchlike that would need more pics more quickly. Ibis isn’t my favorite, but its symmetry tools allow way more spokes than Procreate or Infinite Painter.

Barry is having a morning. Unplugged the router, tried to eat the plastic tree, and now he can’t get at the hummingbirds.

Looking for a thing, and found a different thing I might like better. Validation of data structures in Python without committing you to rewriting your entire application logic in Pydantic or something.
(not that there’s anything wrong with Pydantic but sometimes it’s a structurally heavy choice)
keleshev/schema: Schema validation just got Pythonic

Lots to like about the main folks I’m interviewing with right now. Aside from the obvious charm of exchanging work for money that I can then exchange for food and housing, I mean.
They’ve got the communication down. Never more than a couple days without hearing from them. Always explicit about what they need to move forward, as well as what the next steps involve.
Won’t be naming names unless and until paychecks are involved. Just sharing because gosh I wish more places did that.

@rafial exactly so. Even when you don’t get hired, the communication is such that there’s little if any bitterness to pair with the understandable disappointment.
But yeah absolutely hoping for the hire, also so I can see if/how that practice is reflected elsewhere in their processes.

@darius that’s the look

@gayathri It’s a shorthand I’ve seen frequently used for folks hunting, hiring, or just discussing the process.

@gayathri And also good luck with your search. Last couple years have been the most emotionally draining job search times for me since the dot-com crash.

@jalefkowit I’m pretty sure that headline is the name of a Flaming Lips album.

@maddiefuzz @jalefkowit @Taweret @hannah @apLundell @wohali@octodon.social Meanwhile I, nearly a legal adult at the time of the TNG premiere, was bouncing around the living room like a toddler on a sugar binge throughout the entire episode.
Then again I also get excited about Jim Jarmusch movies, so take that into consideration.
Anyways “The Naked Now” is when I rolled my eyes.

Schema’s already handy enough to have helped me clean up my Hugo frontmatter, and now I incorporated it in my site tests.
I’ll probably pull that schema definition out into a support module, but I already had the handy Pytest parametrization for site content, so this was the natural first spot to save it.
