@luis_in_brief slowly starting to roll out more, but for now old-fashioned's the best way. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a link :)
@luis_in_brief @glyph More to your point, the "needed healthcare" cuts both ways. There are those who went corporate/proprietary when they didn't need to and those who didn't who practically should have. That's one of the biggest reasons motivating my current project: helping people help each other live fuller, more open lives with means they might not have realized they had.
@luis_in_brief @glyph Love the spirit, but for the record, not a great counterfactual. Unfortunately, Gore was more openly hawkish on Iraq than Bush, even: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/why-al-gore-would-have-invaded-iraq-and-what-it-tells-us-about-syria/article14105322/
There's this little recurring theme in Arnold Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht that sounds just like Yoko Kanno's Rush (from Cowboy Bebop) [2]. Coincidence or connection?

And, for members of PyLadies only, I have special code that unlocks free conference registration!
Watch and read more.
@pganssle this exact thing happened to me months ago. Kind of mindblowing that it's still happening. I think I ended up foregoing the trial and buying credits.
@pganssle original Dragonball may have kid Goku, but there's a lot most contemporary American parents wouldn't consider kid appropriate. 😅 The theme song is Mina's fave rn tho
@pganssle chuffed or chafed?

Just converted two packages to use UV in dev workflows when available, @hynek's cached uv actions¹ on CI, and PyPI trusted publisher² to automatically publish builds for new tags. Feels like stepping into an entirely different world. 😅
So 2 down and 20-ish to go? 🤪

²: https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/using-a-publisher/
@hynek It's too late. There are fork()s everywhere and CPython is getting straced.
lolling off the title alone. cannot wait to see how this unfolds in part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WILYaDNez4g
real talk asottile is doing amazing work and no amount of thanks will offset the underflow when it comes to python web software infra.
Fediverse woes: Just noticed I'm missing a bunch of updates from fosstodon. E.g., @pybay and @djangolondon both show months-dormant accounts despite having posted in the last 3 days.
Not really sure how to report this, so I'm just going to @ the qoto admins:

@hugovk These slides are great. Sounds like you made a convincing case, too. Thanks for raising this!

Another week, another update: https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-update-100453962
Since I already posted a bunch about https://glyph.im/patrons/ this week, I'll keep it brief. If you like my writing at <https://blog.glyph.im/> or any of my #python #opensource libs & tools, such as Fritter, DBXS, Automat, TokenRing, PINPal, Encrust, SponCom, DateType, python-docstring-mode, streamrandom, MOPUp, QuickMacHotKey, QuickMacApp, horsephrase, etc, and would like to support me continuing more of that work, consider signing up.

I think this is why GenAI sounds so much like a cryptocurrency scam to a lay audience. When Microsoft launched the Xbox they didn't spend hours talking about the wafer lithography they used for the GPU, they just told you about video games. The iPhone announcement talked about listening to music and using a web browser, the relative merits of capacitive and resistive touchscreens. But Blockchain and GenAI hype both have this obsession with minor details that really should not be user-visible.

I learned about glom (https://github.com/mahmoud/glom) by @mahmoud two days ago,
At that point, I felt that kind of approach is good for CLIs but was unsure if I'd put it in my code.
Today I was working on a deeply nested JSON and decided to try it out and it was so good. It made the code much easier to read and manage.
