The first-party `tzdata` module on PyPI has been updated to 2020.3 to reflect the upstream 2020c release!

This includes the short-notice changes to Fiji's DST. 2020.4 should be out soon, though, since Palestine just changed their DST on ~4 days' notice.
My son saw a blue jay at the feeder this morning and called over to my wife: "Mama, bird! You need the nocalurs! Take a picture!"
So it begins...
Sorry for boasting, but I can't deny sitting at #1 on HackerNews does kinda feel good 😂

Some Eastern Bluebirds at the feeder the other day. Male first, then female.
Male and female northern cardinal.
Possibly a breeding pair? They showed up together, and I didn't see any other cardinals around.
@Sphinx Hah, no, a while back I bought a Sony Cybershot DSC HX90V superzoom camera basically for the purpose of taking pictures of birds.
Here's a little thread I did on twitter reviewing it: https://twitter.com/pganssle/status/1315069365587529728?s=20
(I think I forgot to cross-post this to Mastodon).
@brainwane Ah, this seems really useful.
Too bad I just bought 300 pounds of rennet...
@lynne@pars.ee I think the common naïve assumption would be that if you want to cut 30s, and you have keyframes at 25 and 35, you should be able to cut and re-encode 25-30, then prepend that onto a video from 35 on.
Not sure if it's possible to concatenate videos like that without re-encoding the whole thing like it is with mp3s, though.
I have been defeated by ffmpeg. I cannot find a way to remove the first n seconds of a video without re-encoding the entire video and without losing any video.
It feels like it should be possible to just re-encode the dangling portion of time between keyframes...
At this point I'm thinking the best thing for everyone would be for me to quit software engineering and become an artisinal cheese maker.
I've really enjoyed the Wikipedia article on Monkey Patching:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch
Takeaways:
1. Monkey patching is sometimes also called duck punching.
2. The "monkey" probably comes from "guerilla"
3. This is an easter egg waiting to happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch#Examples

But it's a bit of a hodge-podge of random stuff, not curated high-quality photos.
