Man, some folks do such a good job with the design of their slides, it makes me want to do better.
Picture is from [Steph Orella Bello](https://sporella.xyz)'s talk, but there are many other intimidatingly good presentations out there.
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 😅
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).

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.

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/ .
I'm thinking small, clearly labeled Tupperware containers and a few scoops will maybe put customs inspectors in a less suspicious frame of mind?
Ok, I am traveling to Spain soon, and when I travel I usually bring a bit of protein powder (I put it in cottage cheese or yogurt to add some flavor and texture).
However, I suspect that my usual approach — Ziploc baggies in a freezer bag — might invite, uh... extra scrutiny... at customs (see photo).
Anyone have alternative ideas about how to transport this stuff without creating suspicion? The original packaging won't work because it is very bulky.
I've just released cibuildwheel 2.18.0, with prerelease support for CPython 3.13 - set CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS to test building 3.13 wheels! (No free-threading yet, waiting on binaries & pip) https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel/releases/tag/v2.18.0 #python #release
> "#Python 3.13 just hit feature freeze with the first beta release today. Just before the feature freeze, a shiny new feature was added: a brand new Python REPL."
> My favorite Python 3.13 feature. https://treyhunner.com/2024/05/my-favorite-python-3-dot-13-feature/
They finally fixed the 'exit' thing! Yay! 🎉 🥳 🎈
Next month, @the_compiler is organising a pytest sprint in Austria, next to the Swiss border.
There's also a possibility for paid travel/accommodation.

What better way to spend Friday afternoon than watching me talk about Chapter 7 of Probably Overthinking It?
"Causation, Collision, and Confusion"
I was at Google today to give a talk about Chapter 7 of Probably Overthinking It: Causation, Collision, and Confusion.
I'll post the video when it's available, but in the meantime, the slides are here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vT3Wb80roqlKxQTQQlug4cRTKIZ304S453OehgE7Xpomed2OdG1xQEDGUo6el5Wfkrhfzl8Dbb79rxe/pub
