@scalzi read God Engines last night. Very good, very different. Subversive on several levels. (Identifying them an exercise for the reader)

Ever want to just turn off that logger for a while in Python? Maybe while running tests or debugging? Even the CRITICAL messages?

Notice that the logging level contants (logging.DEBUG etc) actually represent numeric values:

Level       Numeric value
CRITICAL    50
ERROR       40
WARNING     30
INFO        20
DEBUG       10
NOTSET      0

On a whim I tried:

logging.getLogger('logger_to_turn_off').setLevel(100)

And bam, no logging, even the CRITICAL messages. Yes, most of you python nerds knew this, but I didn't, so I learned something at least!

Been thinking about my own assumptions/behaviors re: non-white-males in tech. Uncomfortable, but not uncomfortable enough yet.

@siracusa @marcoarment love jumpcut for the do-one-thing-well-ness of it.

Fun little idea: a blog disclaimer generator based on your current LinkedIn profile.

> "My opinions on [current industry] are my own and not those of [current employer]"

WTB: Auto-disclaimer based on LinkedIn: "I am employed by <employer> in <industries>; my opinions are my own".
