@y2mango Yes, one of the various reasons…

Juggling starts a little early today: 3:45 in the open space hallway! #PyConUS
Luckily my target audience — parents of 2-6 year olds — is used to getting up early 😅
“Hm… maybe if I wear a fake mustache and a hat, I can sign up for two lightning talks in a row, and then I don’t have to cut this one down quite so brutally….”
Some motivation for you to get up and to the #pyconus venue early tomorrow morning: I’ll be giving a lightning talk about my (FOSS) chord trainer application (for children).
@jonafato Exhausterating sounds best to me.

@edrogers Great! I might have to duck out of lightning talks early actually, so I will keep them on me tomorrow if I don’t see you on my way out.
@kevin Sure! I will try to keep some on me.
By the way for various reasons I happen to have a bunch of Google Open Source swag to give away and nowhere to give it away, so if you are at #pyconus and want a flashlight, let me know.

Pro tip for #pyconus #pycon speakers, presenters, tutorial hosts - dark text on white background is more legible than vice versa. The projector does a better job at projecting white light and the dark text shows off in a better contrast. As a member of the audience it’s more legible on a projector screen than white text on dark background - especially from far.

I have a very specific question about Matplotlib usage at NASA in the Science Mission Directorate:
Does anyone know of usage of Matplotlib specifically in the Biological and Physical Sciences Division?
@glyph No I don’t mean you should deprecate the function. I think we, as a society, should heap approbation and disdain on humans who use 12 hour clocks. 12 hour clocks are ridiculous.
@glyph Needs a deprecation warning. Not that you can actually deprecate the use of 12 hour clocks by fiat in a random library, but it’s worth a shot.

If you are coming in person to #PyConUS in Pittsburgh this weekend, and are comfortable playing the guitar in public, let me know? I may be preparing a surprise for the 20th anniversary of Beautiful Soup https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2024/celebrate-beautiful-soups-20th-anniversary/ .
@hynek That is exactly what a criminal would do. Maybe I should print labels that say “Cocaine” and “Heroin”, since that is something no smuggler would do.
@alex I’ve never seen it for sale in smaller containers.
