Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, cette phrase : «J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête»

J'ai entendu les paroles suivantes dans la chanson Dorothy's Blues par Myriam Gendron

> Derrière ma fenêtre > J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête > Je r’garde les papillons > Autour de ma maison

Mais je ne comprends pas cette phrase: «J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête». Quelqu'un pourrait l'expliquer s.v.p.?

Buy Canadian @lemmy.ca alyth @lemmy.world

Where can I buy good kitchen knives in Canada?

I have a friend in Canada whose birthday is just around the corner. They mentioned how their kitchen knives suck. I'd like to order them a whetstone, sharpener and/or a new set of knives. Are there any shops or brands that you recommend?

I'm not in Canada, so ideally I'd buy the item online and have it delivered to my friend.

Interactive TUI app with 100+ Python re(gex)? exercises
  • Thanks for sharing this. I took the time to read through the documentation of the re module. Here's my review of the functions.

    Useful:

    • re.finditer returns an iterator over all Match objects
    • re.search returns the first Match object or None if there are no matches.
    • r'' use raw strings for patters so you don't have to worry about backslashes
    • the optional flags argument modifies the behaviour (case insensitive, multiline)

    Utility:

    • re.sub replace each match in the string
    • re.split split a string by a regular expression

    The Match object:

    • match.groups(0) returns the portion of text matched by the pattern
    • match.groups(1) returns the first capturing group
    • match.groups(2) returns the second capturing group, and so on

    I don't understand why these exist:

    • re.match like search, but only matches at the beginning of the string. why not just use '^' or '\A' in the pattern you pass to 'search'?
    • re.fullmatch like 'search', but only if the full string matches. Why not just use '\A' and '\Z' in the pattern you pass to 'search'?
    • re.findall Returns all matches. It seems like a shitty version of 'finditer'. The function has three different return types which depend on the pattern you pattern you pass to the function. Who wants to work with that?

  • Downvoting for clickbait. They quote her talking about unpaid internships. I can't even find any endorsement of unpaid work in her quotes. She only recalls her own experience. Personally, I think internships should be paid and count towards completing your studies. But the article is clickbait to say the least.

  • Streaming Rule
  • That's good to know! Tubi is in the US also. In my country (Germany) nobody streams Classic Who according to my sources. Personally I have the DVDs at home but it would be nice as an option.

  • The Forgotten Nation: The Kurds' Fight for Freedom
  • Thank you for sharing our history 💜 Kurdistan is one of the most progressive places in the Middle East. No one in my family told me what god to believe in if any. My parents taught me values of feminism, human rights and peace, and I see the same values shared by my siblings and cousins in Europe. Of course there are problems, but as my parents taught me, take from our culture what is good and do better than the things we did wrong. Long live Kurdistan!

    My experience with dnf is that it's slow as molasses but your average computer user isn't gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

    I've used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that's fine.

  • You should really try and take a look at why you want to defend abuse

    He's defending his mom. A man's going to stand up for his mom, and in some cultures doubly so.

    I cited an academic paper

    Yeah, exactly. The guy is clearly coming from an emotional place, and you respond with what looks like the first link you found on Google Scholar for "latino hit children abuse'". If your goal is to change anybody's mind about anything, you couldn't have done worse.

    Mechanic Advice @lemmy.world alyth @lemmy.world

    Both parking lights at the front suddenly do not light up

    The two parking lights in the front of my car suddenly do not light up anymore. It's a 2008 VW Passat B6 Variant.

    Possible leads:

    • Fault code: Electrical fault in circuit
    • A multimeter shows that the sockets which fit the parking light do not receive any power - on both sides.

    Already checked:

    • The bulbs are okay
    • The fuses are okay
    • The parking lights in the back are okay
    • All other lights are okay

    Any advice? Is there anything else a layman could check before sending it to the garage?

    depression_now! @lemmy.world alyth @lemmy.world

    Is everything pointless now or am I just not trying hard enough?

    I used to play games, but now I only think about the time I'm wasting. I used to like food, but now I only think about how many calories are in it. I'd rather watch a TV show I've seen a million times than watch anything new. I read about a book a month but the minutes before I pick up the page feel like procrastinating a shower when the hot water is busted. I did a lot of exercise this week but now I'm left wondering if it was really worth the oxygen.

    It.. didn't used to be like this. I'd be happy just going to school, playing games until way too late, talking to my online friends and doing the same thing the next day. Maybe it's because back then I had graduation in mind as a long term objective. But now, the only certainty left for me is the inevitable fate of every living creature. I'm lonely. At school you're forced to meet the same 30-100 people every day, but I've never been worth going out of anyone's way. I have almost no social contacts that charge my battery rather than deplete it.

    I feel like I should keep trying new things. But honestly, all that's good in my life was given to me by chance (or a deity if you believe in one). Every time I have actively tried to better things it either changed nothing or made things worse. I'm so tired.

    Has anyone "been there" and turned the ship around?

    Books @lemmy.world alyth @lemmy.world

    What are your favorite openings to a book?

    In an interview with recently deceased author Paul Auster, he says the following:

    > When I was 9 or 10, my grandmother gave me a six-volume collection of books by Robert Louis Stevenson, which inspired me to start writing stories that began with scintillating sentences like this one: “In the year of our Lord 1751, I found myself staggering around blindly in a raging snowstorm, trying to make my way back to my ancestral home.”

    This encouraged me to browse my bookshelf and search for those scintillating first sentences. As it turns out, many of the books that I loved the most really do pack a punch before the end of their first paragraph. Here's my personal selection. Unlike Auster's example, the ones I am sharing do not immediately drop you in the middle of the action, as the number of adventure books on my bookshelf is marginal. However, I do feel they capture a lot about the protagonist and set the tone for the novel.

    I would love for you to share yours.

    The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster: > I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I traveled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain.

    Moon Palace by Paul Auster: > It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but I did not believe there would ever be a future.

    The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger > If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

    The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin by David Nobbs > When Reginald Iolanthe Perrin set out for work on the Thursday morning, he had no intention of calling his mother-in-law a hippopotamus.

    I cannot make any post/comment containing the string etcpasswd on lemmy.world

    When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can't even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error is not handled in the UI at all.

    So, if you've ever tried to reply to a tech issue and the UI just won't let you, maybe this is why.

    Firefox stops loading pages seemingly at random, shows NS_BINDING_ABORTED, have to restart

    Sometimes I'll be browsing Firefox and things go wrong seemingly at random - all pages load indefinitely or show a screen indicating failure to load. This can be fixed by running pkill firefox and then starting a new instance. A look at Dev Tools shows that all requests fail and a message NS_BINDING_ABORTED is shown. I have looked up "firefox NS_BINDING_ABORTED" but none of the results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 provided any solution.

    Does anyone here know more about this issue?
