Apart from the data, which is too uniform, because it is randomly generated test data, this is starting to look good. :)
This may be a stupid question, but if I open a huge file in mode 'a+' in python, and write to it, will the whole file be rewritten (physically) or will only the new bits be added (physically)?
We will soon get a hamster, and I am currently programming Python software for my Raspberry Pi which I will connect to the hamster wheel. There will be a webinterface in the local network, with nice charts and numbers! Yay! Data!
Suppose I have a Raspberry Pi in a home network with DS-light (or is it -lite?). Means I can only reach it via IPv6 from outside the network. Any free ways to access it from an IPv4 network (should return a simple html-page, nothing fancy)? If not, any _cheap_ way of doing it?
If you're using bash or zsh and you don't know the ^X^E shortcut, learn it now.
First, ensure you have a valid `EDITOR` environment variable set to your favourite editor (like vim or emacs).
Second, enter some command, but don't hit enter.
Third, use Ctrl+X Ctrl+E and learn that you can use your editor to modify the command before running it in the shell.
This is pretty helpful if you're trying to edit a long command line.
It's really nice how #wikipedia is now displaying pop-ups with an excerpt of a linked article with an image.
I'm not sure how long ago they introduced this feature, but I've noticed it only recently and it's allows me to get basic info about related subjects without breaking my focus on main article. Good job!
I can't even begin to say how much I love the sheer cross-conceptual nerdery of this.
Did you know? There are standards on color contrast accessibility for background:foreground colors (e.g. on websites). If you look at/redesign your website, take the time to drop your background and text colors in this handy tool to see if your color choices are suitable: http://contrast-ratio.com/#%23DF691A-on-%234e5d6c

Moving back to Germany from the UK soon.
To your list I can add an intact healthcare system, affordable housing, social security, plumbers who can actually fix problems. Decent food, mixed water taps and well-educated people of whom most do have a reflected view on their countries history.
Too many Germans do not know how high their quality of life actually is.
There is a lot of bitterness in my words but with Brexit I and my European friends have realised how backwards the UK is.
"If you wake up tomorrow morning and think that saying a few latin words over your pancakes is goingt to turn them into the body of Elvis Presley, you've lost your mind.
But if you think more or less the same thing about a cracker and the body of Jesus, you're just a catholic."
