Original title: Building Chrome Dinosaur Game in Pygame (Part 3: Running Dino) In the last post, we coded up the infinite scrolling horizon upon which the Dino runs and in the process we learned how to display images on the canvas, how coordinates work in pygame, how to use the pygame.time.Clock class in controlling the Refresh rate of the video game among a few other lessons. In this post, we’ll code up the Dino and give it the ability to run for dear life. ...

Original title: Escaping Your Java Habits in Python: Writing Clean, Pythonic Code As engineers, many of us migrate between languages. Fun fact: 20 years ago - what was the first language I was ever certified in? Java. But now, a dozen languages later, I want to pull my hair out when I feel like I’m reading Java code inside a file that ends in a “.py” extension. If you’ve spent significant time in Java, it’s natural to bring those habits along when coding in Python. Unfortunately, some of those habits can lead to over-engineered or awkward code that doesn’t at all feel Pythonic. Worse: your habits may be contributing to bugs, and (worse yet:) slowing down code review. Not to bring shame, but to improve everyone’s lives: I think these patterns are worth calling out — especially for developers making the jump from Java to Python. ...

This astonishing discovery has shed light on the mysterious and haunting practices of our ancestors, providing us with a glimpse into the past that we could never have imagined. The pits, which were discovered in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, are believed to have been used for various religious ceremonies and burial rituals. The team of archaeologists, led by Dr. Ingrid Schmidt, has been working tirelessly to uncover the secrets of these ancient pits, which have remained hidden for thousands of years. One of the most fascinating aspects of the pits is the intricate designs that have been etched into their walls. These designs, which are believed to have been created using stone tools, depict a range of symbols and mot ...

Original title: Title: The Secret to Longer-Lasting Lithium Batteries: Electrolytes with a Boron Twist Title: The Secret to Longer-Lasting Lithium Batteries: Electrolytes with a Boron Twist Description: In the ever-evolving world of technology, one of the most significant challenges we face is the need for efficient and long-lasting batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, in particular, have become a game-changer in powering our devices, but they still have their limitations. That is, until now. Scientists from China have made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize the way we think about lithium-ion batteries. By adding boron to the electrolytes used in these batteries, they have been able to significantly extend their efficiency and lifespan. Electrolytes are the lifeblood of lithium-ion batteries, allowing the flow of ions between the cathode and anode. However, they can also be a limiting factor in the battery’s performance. By adding boron to the electrolytes, the scientists were able to improve the battery’s conductivity and reduce its resistance, leading to a sign ...

Original title: SEMANTIC HTML 🔍Semantic HTML Importance for SEO and Accessibility*🔎 **👋Introduction ✨When I first started learning HTML, I used a lot of< div> and for almost everything. It worked fine to display content, but I quickly realized that the code didn’t really describe what the content meant. For example, I could have a that looked like a header, but a search engine or screen reader would just see “a div”. That’s when I learned about semantic HTML. Semantic HTML uses tags that describe their purpose, like , ,, , and . These tags don’t just make code cleaner – they also improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization)🕵️‍♀️ and accessibility👩‍🦽. In this article, I’ll explain ✨what semantic HTML is, ✨why it matters, ✨how to implement it, and I’ll share ✨examples you can try in your own projects. ...
