This post gathers my notes from day 2 of the EuroRust 2024</a> conference.

I recently attended EuroRust 2024</a>, the European Rust conference.

I figured I'd share some notes and findings as I found the event to be very insightful.

How not to be slow using Python: Functions

Unknown — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000

People often ask me about improving the performance of their Python code. They even sometimes complain about Python being slow overall. This complaint often stems from the fact that people tend to use Python quite naively, without realizing the performance impact of certain constructs.

While optimization and performance tuning of existing code is important, there are some things to keep in mind while writing Python code. These things will let you avoid your code being unnecessarily slow in most cases.

In this post, we're going to take a bit of a dive, and look into how Python executes code; into functions and functional programming through the lens of performance.

New address (and setting up custom domain on GitLab pages)

Unknown — Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I got a custom domain for my website: pawroman.dev</code>

The .dev domains</a> went live recently and are quite affordable. I like that Google decided to enforce HTTPS on every .dev</code> website.

I managed to point my domain at GitLab pages hosted at gitlab.com</a>. Read on for a quick guide.



Terminimal Zola theme
Unknown — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000
I have finally started my personal blog! Welcome.</p>
I decided to go with Zola</a> as the static
website generator, mostly because it's very fast
(written in Rust) and has a nice template language.
Compared to Hugo</a> I like it much better,
and it's got most of the features I needed out of
the box.</p>
I have created a theme for the blog, called
Terminimal. The theme is based on the
Terminal</a> theme by panr</a> -- many thanks for
that one, Radek!</p>
If you like how this site looks,
please check out my theme here</a>.</p>


Basic Python testing setup with pytest
Unknown — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000
Recently, pytest</a> has become the de-facto standard
Python testing framework.  Compared to unittest</code> or nose</code>, pytest assumes
a different philosophy.  There's no more test cases, setUp/tearDown, specific
asserts and all the boilerplate.  pytest</code> tries to keep things simple by using
plain functions and make writing tests very straightforward.</p>
I have been using pytest</code> for a while now and I quite like it.  I use it
for all new projects.  It's worth noting that it maintains compatibility with
unittest</code> and nose</code> test suites which makes the migration easy -- I recommend
giving it a go!</p>
In this post, we'll take a look at how to get started with pytest</code> in a
Python project.</p>
