Avonturia, Python web scraping, and Your Makefiles are wrong

Another visit to Avonturia De Vogelkelder

In the morning we took the bus to The Hague. I wanted to pay another visit to the huge pet shop "Avonturia De Vogelkelder". Not to buy tarantulas, this time, but just to have a look and buy some tarantula food: superworms (Zophobas morio darkling beetle larvae). The beetle larvae were sold out, so I have to order them online once more.

We spend quite some time looking at the various animals on display, including tarantulas and a scorpion.

The starter toolkit for a python web scraping

Web scraping, as we all know, it's a discipline that evolves over time, with more complex anti-bot countermeasures and new tools to use.

Your Makefiles are wrong

Your Makefiles are full of tabs and errors. An opinionated approach to writing (GNU) Makefiles that I learned from Ben may still be able to salvage them.
