Do you know someone who has done great things for the Python community? Nominate them! All it takes is an email. Deadline for Q1 is 20th February.
@tomnardi I guess that is why they call them *serial* numbers 😉

#PyConUS Hatchery is back! This program offers you the opportunity to be more involved at PyCon US by leading new tracks and events.
Check out our blog post to learn more: https://bit.ly/420HwUA. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until April 17, 2024
@gpshead Interesting, I was not surprised by this because last time I checked, Twitter was only supporting SMS 2FA(and IIRC Twitter [once used those numbers for advertising](https://grahamcluley.com/twitter-2fa-phone-number-advertising/)), which I assume is incompatible or massively inconvenient for an org account, but it seems like they have improved the situation a lot since then.

NumPy 2 is coming out in couple months! And it's a little backwards incompatible, which means any applications that depend on it (directly or indirectly) might break.
I wrote an article showing how to prevent breakage in the short term, and how to automatically upgrade in the long term.
@webology @pluralistic There are some complications if you just serve it locally like I do, particularly with iPhones, because almost all iOS podcast players are apparently awful, and everything except Apple podcasts apparently needs to serve the audio from their own servers for some reason or something like that, but if you make it Internet-facing you won't have any problems I think.
@webology @pluralistic Probably not the easiest way to do it if you just want one audiobook, but I put audiobooks on my phone by turning them into podcasts: https://github.com/pganssle/audio-feeder/
Here is a docker-compose configuration: https://github.com/pganssle/audio_feeder_docker

Coverage․py 7.4.0 can use Python 3.12's lightweight sys.monitoring module. Coverage measurement with much lower overhead! Try it, and let me know.

@pwaring @jenniferplusplus @AntennaPod +1 for AntennaPod. I liked BeyondPod before that.
On iOS as far as I can tell the answer is "no, there are not good podcast apps"

Out of curiosity, what are these? I found them in the bottom of a small wall mount network cabinet, that was fitted in a house, by an electrician. The snipped wires look like CAT-5 solid core.
@brettcannon @tonybaloney I don't know about you guys, but for me in my early 20s it was like, "Oh giant metal spike pierced several vital organs; the doctor said it would take a month to heal but I was pretty much fine on week 3."
Now it's like, "I stood up in a weird way and now my right arm tingles whenever I turn left. The doctor said I should give it 6 months but I'll be happy if the tingling is less noticable in 2 years..."
@brettcannon Yeah, Arch using Cinnamon. Doesn't seem as useful as I had hoped anyway because it seems like you need to select the emoji with a mouse anyway?
I am falling back to my previous plan to reactivate ibus to try its emoji picker (I already have it installed from when I used to write a lot more Japanese text, but I switched to uim ages ago for reasons I can't now recall and also now I am not 100% sure how to switch back 😛
I think it was Ctrl + ., but it only works in certain places...
My 2-year old was mashing keys on my keyboard and somehow summoned an emoji picker (something I've been meaning to configure for ages), and I can't figure out what he did...

New blog post about common pitfalls contributors hit when creating GitHub pull requests.
https://davidism.com/github-pull-request-pitfalls/
* Use a new branch, not main
* Fork and open using the same user
* Check the target branch
* Draft must be enabled from the start
OK, I bought a used gaming computer so I can run my own ML models locally, so now you get to see what it would look like if Abraham Lincoln had a baby with Chris Evans.
@Greg Yeah, the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus / Pro has a version with 6GB, and my experience has been that crapware has been minimal (I could always install a custom OS if I really didn't like it).
The big thing we don't like right now is the case. The kids need a case because they are rough with the tablets, and they like having a handle.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a tablet case for kids? I have a #Lenovo #Tab #P11 Pro for my son, but the case we have is a bit rigid and makes it very hard to get at the volume buttons (I believe it's [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-11-2-TB-132FU-TB-138FC-Tablet/dp/B0BTHSSDF6?th=1)).
