Wool To Brave The Seasons - Learning Namespaces in Python "Wool to brave the seasons" is a line from the beyond stupendous and beautiful "invisible string" song by Taylor Swift. Software Engineering is my wool to brave the seasons. Everything can be tough, but I have a passion and a love that keeps me going. Everything can be tough, but I have something that I am meant to be doing. Everything can be tough, but I know that I am meant to be doing this. There are four main types of namespaces in Python Four main types of namespaces exist in Python.  The Built-In Namespace. The Global Namespace The Local Namespace Enclosing Namespace I am from Luxembourg - born and raised. We have such beautiful wind turbines back there. I wanted to make it my mission to post as many of these beautiful wind turbines from Luxembourg as possible. The Built-In Namespace This is just like the generic built in functions that Python uses that we just take for granted. I assume it includes Err

Alan Turing's Legacy, part VIII So if you're new to this blog I am obsessed with the song off the "Imitation Game"'s soundtrack, Alan Turing's Legacy.  It's the one off the ending and just before the closing credits. I have named seven blog posts after this and so this is the 8th. On Saturday I went to Bletchley Park for the 3rd time this year with my childhood best friend. It was so amazing to be there again. To feel his energy, to feel his presence, and to feel so close to him. I have already shared this photo on LinkedIn, but I cannot resist but share this photo: A photo of me in Hut 11 at Bletchley Park. Sadly I did not make it into his office in Hut 8 but that just means I'll have to go again. Midnight Python Problems Please pretend you can't see what time I am doing this. I solved a problem.  It was so hard. I kept getting it wrong. There's loads of weird list sorting stuff in Python that I didn't know about, t

I'll Run To You "But if you send for me, you know I'll come, And if you call for me, you know I'll run, I'll run to you, I'll run to you, I'll run, run, run..." - Lana del Rey, Old Money A photo of a pylon from my beautiful and beloved and dear, dear friends near Prague, Czechia!!! Old Money smashes my heart open every time. It's 8 am on a Tuesday and I'm on the train to London. I have created a project board for all of my side learning projects. I am reading two books, doing two courses and have a couple of homeworks from my mentor (mostly old ones; we are toning down the homeworks for now as I focus really hard on my day job and making it work for me - I am an excellent software engineer, I believe, but from a neurodiversity perspective it requires some adaptation. Especially from my end - I have to get used to the job!). But all I feel like doing is solving a codewars problem. So naturally, I did the Jaden Smith prob

I'll Sue You If You Step On My Lawn This is a wonderful quote from a Taylor Swift song, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me." I thought that I had gotten past the phase of naming my blog posts after beautiful lines from indie songs (or clearly not-so-indie) but evidently this is not the case. As always I am continuing my theme of posting pictures of the wind farms in Luxembourg on here. I love them so so so so SO SO MUCH! Number of People On The Bus I love life. I love the Universe, and I love life. At 11.15 pm, on the last train from London to Worthing, with the whole universe packed onto this train as the Brighton one's not running, I loaded up codewars. And I literally am not kidding - the problem that came up all by itself as if by magic was "number of people on the bus." Now that's poetry.  That's magic. That's beautiful. Beautiful. Wow. Lol.  So what was my solution? Hacky as well - here we are. def number(bus_st
