We moved our chat room from the IRC network that seems to be set on getting rid of its users to Matrix: #k9mail:matrix.org.
The Matrix room is bridged to #k9mail on @liberachat; for those of you who still prefer IRC.
See you all there 👋
Not that there's much action you can take as an end user of pandas other than getting your deployment pipeline in good enough shape that you can deploy the latest version of pandas on short notice.
If the underlying problem isn't fixed, the *real* problem is going to be when pytz transitions to using zoneinfo under the hood: https://github.com/stub42/pytz/issues/48#issuecomment-720235305
Exacerbated by the fact that pytz bundles in the time zone data, so you may be stuck on old tzdata if you pin pytz!
Today's entirely foreseeable headache in the offing: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/37654#issuecomment-845063168
I'm fairly sure that forthcoming changes to dateutil will break any pandas code using dateutil zones relatively soon.
Even if it gets fixed in pandas today I'm sure it will be annoying.

Apparently `docker pull` shows you a digest of something completely different than what is displayed on DockerHub.
I don't see any reliable way to get *either* UI to display a digest of the same thing... Why are these even displayed?
"What should we name our store?"
"Just be descriptive of what you sell."
Last night I was thinking, "Man, you shouldn't read packaging discussions before bed, it's too upsetting", but then I realized that I didn't stop early enough and it should be amended to, "Man, you shouldn't read packaging discussions."

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.
Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.
Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.
Anyone know what, if anything, I need to do to build an Apple Silicon wheel on Github Actions?
Planning to do a new backports.zoneinfo release soon and I'd like to throw it into this wheel building apparatus, if necessary: https://github.com/pganssle/zoneinfo/blob/b77bc75de10380ff53a33c3becc49eb3b582a745/.github/workflows/build-publish.yml#L77
I think that the fact that the head of the `self-conflict` branch has two parents branched from a common base (with a bunch of commits in between) has something to do with it.
I guess I'm rebasing it to a single commit, which conflicts with its history.
Wow, I've never seen this before. This repo has a merge conflict with its own base commit:
$ git rebase HEAD^
Auto-merging dateutil/test/test_imports.py
...
error: could not apply ffc4be1... Use pytest

WTF ... Mozilla had always running JavaScript inside PDFs disabled by default.
But now with FF 88 this option is ENABLED by default. Which means, if a PDF file contains JS it will run without any user interaction. What can possibly go wrong?
To disable this:
about:config
pdfjs.enableScripting --> false
# FF 78.10 ESR doesn't include this option and still blocks JS in PDFs by default. Just tested.
