I miss the days when podcasts were all unmonetizable works of art (like the “old web”).

As much as I like the improvements to production values, along with professionalization has come a sort of optimization for audience acquisition that drives all the worst parts of journalism.

The new, highly produced podcasts with engaging narratives of dubious truth value are so popular that they drown out (or worse crowd out) the niche mostly amateur content. Even if it’s all still there, I don’t know where to find it. ☹

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?

Ouaip, je préfère l’Anglais…

“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.”

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
