From Mercedes Benz’s AMG G63 6×6, to Kahn Design’s Flying Huntsman Defender mod, and even Hennessey Performance’s own F-150 Raptor-based VelociRaptor 6X6 but there’s always room for more. Now Hennessey has finally released its limited run of 24 Goliath 6x6s (based on the 2019/2020 Chevrolet Silverado) and it’s a beast.

Many Pythonistas are familiar with using decorators, but far fewer understand what’s happening under the hood and can write their own. It takes a little effort to learn their subtleties but, once grasped, they’re a great tool for writing concise, elegant Python.
This post will briefly introduce the concept, start with a basic decorator implementation, then walk through a few more involved examples one by one.

What do you do when you’re into trackball mice, but nothing out there is affordable or meets all your murine needs? You build one, of course. And if you’re like [Dangerously Explosive], who has a bunch of old optical mice squeaking around the shop, you can mix and match them to build the perfect one.

[Dangerously] got really far into the build before discovering the USB interface chip was dead. Then he …read more
