In people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases — or those involving a buildup of plaque in the arteries — cannab

Though there’s still a lot we don’t know about marijuana and cardiovascular health, Bajaj notes where initial data is pointing. “I would say, you know, there is evidence of some harm, but we need to prove that conclusively,” Bajaj says.,Overall, creating a simple UI with Pygubu was super easy and I liked the fact that the designer was separate from the core application code. This gives a nice logical separation between setting a layout and plumbing all the functionality together behind the scenes. Editing a layout after the fact to make small tweaks was also incredibly easy since its just basic XML.,According to Bajaj’s study, this response can increase how much oxygen the heart needs. When combined with factors of heart disease, such as a buildup of plaque in the cardiac arteries, this can lead to dangerous heart conditions. For example, reduced oxygen to the heart combined with a blocked heart artery can lead to a heart attack.,In addition, some experts say that marijuana use does not pose a significant threat to people at little risk for heart disease. But another study found that young people who smoke marijuana for more than 10 days a month are 2.5 times more likely to have a stroke than non-users — even if they don’t use tobacco products.,Ernest Becker is best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Denial of Death, where he showed that one of the biggest motivators of human behavior is the subconscious fear of death. Basically, human beings are afraid to die, so they/we try to leave legacies, amass fortunes, and “make a dent in the universe.”,Not every programmer is a designer. In fact, a lot of great engineers are lost when it comes to effective user interface design. Specialization can be a good thing, despite the recent trend of “full-stackifying” every single developer role. Being really good at writing server code and dealing with the specific problem set to solve in that realm is important, and shouldn’t necessarily translate to the frontend. So, what if you fall into this category but you need a quick GUI?,In this article we’re going to examine some of the options available for rapid prototyping of a GUI for Python applications. This means that most of these solutions won’t be very code-heavy and favor a straightforward point-and-click approach. If you’re focused on function over form, but don’t want to completely eschew a modern UI these are perfect avenues to explore. Let’s take a look.,For example, some studies have found that cannabis use is associated with a higher risk of arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and atrial fibrillation. But others have suggested that marijuana has no effect on ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, and that it may even reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation.,If you’re prototyping a new application that would benefit from a basic UI bolted on, it might feel like your options are limited. In some cases it feels like you either have to build the entire thing from scratch or get someone else to do it (which might not be an option at all). In the world of Python your options are more than just binary. The Python community has a world of drag-and-drop and low-code UI editors that you can build fully functioning graphical user interfaces with.,The use case I have is an authenticated web API that takes in a potentially significant volume of events from mobile devices. This data will be stored in DynamoDB. As an additional constraint, the mobile app is sending via regular HTTP web calls, and doesn’t have the ability to use GraphQL (i.e. AppSync isn’t a possibility for this case). Finally, I want this particular API to be simple and very fast, and all the (time consuming) processing of the data will be done async. Thus, we can simply have the data come in via API Gateway and get injected directly into DynamoDB (with some basic data transformation, and integration of the user’s ID).,Though there’s still a lot we don’t know about marijuana and cardiovascular health, Bajaj notes where initial data is pointing. “I would say, you know, there is evidence of some harm, but we need to prove that conclusively,” Bajaj says.,PAGE is another wrapper for the Tkinter system and provides a similar WYSIWYG interface to that of Pygubu. PAGE stands for Python Automatic GUI Generator and although this library is rather old, it still gets the job done quickly and effectively.,The workflow using Pygubu is pretty straightforward and simple. You run the designer application and setup your GUI layout using frames, buttons, inputs and other widgets. Once you’re happy with the layout you can generate the final XML as a “.ui” file. The “.ui” file can be passed to Pygubu in your underlying application code using pygubu.Builder() from the core Pygubu module.,Pygubu is a suite of tools that make developing a UI using the tkinter library much easier. There are two major components, the primary core module called pygubu and the graphical design application pygubu-designer. The designer allows you to create interfaces using the drag-and-drop method and generates XML as the final output.,Many of these studies have yet to establish any causal link between marijuana use and cardiovascular disease, and the presence of an association may not indicate that marijuana is responsible for causing a stroke or arrhythmia.
