I just ordered 2 usb sticks from ali express, each 64 TB(!!) for like 11 euros. This has to be a scam, right?

Resisting... The urge... To buy... A Steam Machine... And hack it... Into... A home server... Send... Help...

[uspol] This weight presses upon me every day. I am flooded with stories. There are so many I cannot remember them all; cannot keep straight who was gassed, beaten, abducted, or shot. I write to leave a record, to stare at the track of the tornado which tears through our city. I write to leave […]

Found a Python library for type-safe functional effects: https://github.com/suned/stateless Not sure if I'd use it but it's been a long long time since I've come across a library that's genuinely interesting.

With only a few hours left to go, WE HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE, and fully matched all $17,000! Here is a screenshot of my own match (as I said at the beginning, I was going to give $5000 regardless and $5000 to match, so this is the full $10k).

Does Black no longer remove redundant parentheses? ``` print(((1))) ```

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts. Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@willmcgugan/115433966646402036 Fun fact: eight years ago, the cattrs test suite (because it contains many complex PBTs) took about 8 minutes to run. In the meantime: * I upgraded to an M4 Mac * Python got faster * pytest-xdist parallelized the suite Now it takes […]

Reading a comment on a chess subreddit: "A peasants greatest achievement is to change its gender" Almost snorted tea out of my nose, fr

SemVer is just an attractive nuisance at point. The concept simply doesn't survive even a short contact with reality.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cfbolz/115405916840057296 @hynek look, attrs made it into a study

OH: postman is introducing agentic ai... just put the request in the bag bro

I naively thought my switch from Ubuntu to Arch (not omarchy, no worries) had been successful before actually fighting the final boss: printer setup 😬

@willmcgugan Any chance I could get into the Toad friends and family beta? My wife vetoed the $5k sponsorship thing ;)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@tintvrtkovic/115125507668085633 Final 3.14 tally, with SEVERAL HOURS to spare: * aiofiles: ✅ * cattrs: ✅ * quattro: ✅ * incant: ✅ * uapi: ✅

RE: https://mastodon.social/@hynek/115327604189489777 Go forth and try it out!

I'm putting together a talk for the Zagreb Python group about asyncio and free threading. Which asyncio (not necessarily ASGI even) web servers work on 3.14 free threading right now? Looks like uvicorn, hypercorn and aiohttp don't, yet? Granian yes maybe?

The Duolingo chess course is actually super fun

Is the fact that for every Python package X someone needs to create a package `django-X` a form of function (well, package) coloring? *runs away and hides*

attrs will have a way to introspect the EFFECTIVE class build parameters in the next version. I swear to Cthulhu I thought this PR is gonna kill me (there's been A LOT more private hence and forth in the background), but I'm happy how it turned out: https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/1454

My desktop Ubuntu computer has had suspend issues for ages now. After debugging for a few hours, I'm trying a new strategy: simply replacing my Nvidia GPU with an ATI one from eBay. 🤷‍♂️

We get to drop 3.9 from testing matrices in a month. How time flies!

Since #pyconuk has its AV on point, my keynote yesterday is already live on YouTube. I don't want to say/spoil anything about it, except that it's the first real keynote I've ever written, it encompasses almost 20 years of writing Python, the feedback has been phenomenal, and that you should […]

Counterpoint: it would be fucking amazing if CPython was written in Rust instead https://mastodon.social/@mirsadra/115148234253561199

Python 3.14 readiness status of my stuff: * aiofiles: ✅ * cattrs: ❎ (blocked by attrs and potentially CPython) * quattro: ✅ * incant: ✅ * uapi: ❎ (no time atm)

My first keynote draft left me in a weird melancholic state. I’m realizing that this is exactly the ONE keynote I can give right now. Everything’s in it that I have to give—including ALL my pet peeves. 🥰 Maybe I can write another in 20 yrs; but not now. Anyhow, tickets: https://2025.pyconuk.org/

Interesting! Taco Bell is, from what I understand, #2 globally in AI drivethrus. I work for #1. https://mas.to/@carnage4life/115113792061707014

Conway's law basically states that you ship your org structure. I'm unsure if this is supposed to be a bad thing? Because multiple teams mixing their code in a single service is working out quite badly for me. At this point I'm all in favor of shipping my org structure. Sounds great.

Inspired by @hynek 's latest videos, I've switched cattrs to uv and just. While doing it I figured out I don't actually need tox any more. `just --set python 3.9 test` and uv takes care of everything. Not only does removing tox remove significant complexity, the tests are faster too.

Almost 4 months later, here it finally is: uv: Making Python Local Workflows Fast and Boring in 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiBIjouDGuI This is a big boi of almost 40 minutes, so I’ll need any help that I can get to make ppl watch it. Despite the blood and tears that went into it […]

Instead of hatewriting I used my time constructively and took Stanley's aiofiles PR over the line, so now we test on 3.14 and use uv!

Got the baby sleeping next to me so I'm reading a draft for PEP 795, adding deep immutability to Python. It contains this gem: Currently in Python, x: Foo does not give very strong guarantees about whether x.bar(42) will work or not, because of Python’s strong reflection support that permits […]

Found out yesterday that nginx drops headers with underscores in the name by default. Apparently because of CGI compability? Come ooooooooooooooooooooooon

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by how well my #pyconus talk resonated! Over the past ~1.5 years I bounced the idea off people of all stripes & got very mixed responses. That helped me to shape the content but also tempered my expectations and I begged everyone who would listen to come to my […]

The #pyconus Friday talks just dropped! So, here's my Design Pressure: The Invisible Hand That Shapes Your Code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhNSINolcSM 1/3

So the first result of #pyconus sprints is that the long-running PR https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/1349 was finally merged and attrs now uses a fully locked dev environment with uv 🎉.

@brettcannon What's the exact status of the Faster CPython project at Microsoft now?

Days since the antiquated stdlib `datetime.datetime` design (tz-aware vs naive being the same type) caused a production issue: 0

I wrote like 20 lines of production Rust in my life and I missed this lol https://toot.cat/@imperio/114381396340436545

@brettcannon hello! A question: is there any tooling that can take a Python script + dependencies and combine it with the WASM build of CPython into a single WASM artifact?
