How to Install micromamba on linux (from the comamnd line only)
I really like using conda (miniconda) as my python virtual environment [1]
manager of choice. It’s simple and it includes its own python interpreter
using the version that I specify at creation.
Mamba # [2]
from their readme [3]
---
Mamba is a reimplementation of the conda package manager in C++.
- parallel downloading of repository data and package files using multi-threading
- libsolv for much faster dependency solving, a state of the art library used in the RPM package manager of Red Hat, Fedora and OpenSUSE
- core parts of mamba are implemented in C++ for maximum efficiency
At the same time, mamba utilize the same command line parser, package
installation and deinstallation code and transaction verification routines as
conda to stay as compatible as possible.

Installing Micromamba # [4]
Similar to miniconda micromamba can be installed with a few lines of bash

Vim Wsl Clipboard
I’ve long used neovim from within windows wsl, and for far too long, I went
without a proper way to get text out of it and into windows.
wsl has access to cmd applications # [1]
wsl can access clip.exe. You can do some cool things with it, such as
cat a file into the clipboard, sending output from a command to the clipboard,
or set an autocmd group in vim to send yank to the windows clipboard.
using clip.exe # [2]
Let’s say you want to send a teammate the tail of a log file over chat. You can
tail the file into clip.exe.
tail -n 1 info.log | clip.exe
pipe streams of text into clip.exe
make it a bit more natural # [3]
I recently made mine feel a bit more natural by aliasing it to clip.
alias clip=clip.exe
pop this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
yanking to windows clipboard from vim # [4]
I use neovim as my daily text editor and its a pain to share code with a
teammate over chat, stack overflow, into a gist, or whatever you need. The
following snippet has been quite useful ...

Pytest capsys
Testing print/log statements in pytest can be a bit tricky, capsys makes it
super easy, but I often struggle to find it.
capsys # [1]
capsys is a builtin pytest fixture that can be passed into any test to capture
stdin/stdout. For a more comprehensive description check out the docs on
capsys [2]
using capsys # [3]
Simply create a test function that accepts capsys as an argument and pytest
will give you a capsys opject.
def test_print(capsys):
print('hello')
captured = capsys.readouterr()
assert 'hello' in captured.out
print('world')
captured = capsys.readouterr()
assert 'world' in captured.out

Building Rich a Dev Server
Draft Post
I’ve really been digging [1]@willmcgugan [2]’s
rich [3] library for creating TUI like
interfaces in python. I’ve only recently started to take full advantage of it.
Dev Server # [4]
I am working on a project in which I want to have a dev
server running continuously in the background. I really
like dev servers theat automatically chooose an unused
port and list out the running pid so that I can kill it if
I need to.
- automatic port number
- auto-restart
- display ( port, pid, uptime )
finding the port # [5]
I am very novice at best when it comes to sockets, the following function came
from searching StackOverflow for how to tell if a port is in use. I
recursively check if a port is being used, if it is I increment by one until I
find an unused port to return.
def find_port(port=8000):
"""Find a port not in ues starting at given port"""
import socket
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
if s.connect_ex(("localhost", port)) == 0:

Site Down During Build
Recently I noticed a new netlify site of mine was down while I was checking to
see if new content was live. Later found out this was consistent after each
and every push the site would go gown as soon as I hit push, and would not come
back until the build finished.
Is this normal? # [1]
Do other Netlify sites go down during build???
Short Answer NO. All of my google fu lead me to believe I was alone and none of my other sites do this.
Digging into my build # [2]
My deploy script ends with the following. After resetting keys and watching it build half a dozen
times I determined that everything was working as normal here.

Kedro pipeline_registry.py
With the realease of kedro==0.17.2 came a new module in the project template
pipeline_registry.py. Here are some notes that I learned while playing with
this new module.
migrating to pipeline_registry.py # [1]
- create a src/<package-name>/pipeline_registry.py file create a
- register_pipelines function in pipeline_registry.py that mirrors the
- register_pipelines method from your hooks.py module do not bring the
- hook_impl decorator remove register_pipelines method on your ProjectHooks
- class
You should now have something that looks like this in your
src/<package-name>/pipeline_registry.py.
"""Project pipelines."""
from typing import Dict
from kedro.pipeline import Pipeline
def register_pipelines() -> Dict[str, Pipeline]:
"""Register the project's pipelines.
Returns: A mapping from a pipeline name to a ``Pipeline`` object.

return {"__default__": Pipeline([])}

Stand With Your Team
People who are quick to toss team members under a bus are not well trusted or
highly thought of and it will lead to some toxic team dynamics.
Building Steam # [1]
While collaborating on any project there are going to be decisions made that
aren’t necessarily your favorite, during a summer internship my mentor made
some decisions that I was not on board with, but I accepted his wisdom and
moved forward with little push back.
Full Spead Ahead # [2]
During a review, leadership showed interest in the option that I wanted to go
towards. I was quick to jump up and say I told you so right then and there
and pitch reasons why my idea was so much better.
The Aftermath # [3]
I walked out so proud that leadership recognized my idea, but I will never
forget the look on my teammate’s face and what he told me after the meeting.
“Wow quick to throw me under the bus in front of everyone 😢”. I

Blogging For Me
I create this blog with one person in mind, me.
There are others like me # [1]
This is not completely selfish, as there are likely many others out there that
think similarly to me. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and varying
levels of experience. In no way do you need to be an expert to create content
others will benefit from.
Accurate # [2]
I am as accurate as possible. I don’t know everything, and If I waited for
that to happen I would never post, or write at such a high level no one else
(including me) would ever want to read.
Generally I know that I am directionally accurate for most of the article. In
fact there is often a part of the article that I don’t feel the best about. It
may have been some code that could have been better. I try to point these
things out. Often when I am and point out where I know there is
improvement to be had I get the most welcoming comments, “that was just fine
how you did that”, or “I tried that myself and saw a better abstraction.
