Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

“It is not simple. I do not know what that means.“

I cannot stress this enough - Chicago is not to be fucked with

outrageous pickup at Trader Joe's in the Chicago burbs today

'pydistcheck' (github.com/jameslamb/py...) is a CLI for finding portability issues in packages (wheels, sdists, and conda packages). Stuff like "file is too big" and "compiled objects have debug symbols". v0.11.0 now available 😁 (example in thread)

I, a person who's been to Minneapolis exactly once, am excited. Save the date!

more of this plz

Go birds, but gotta respect how hard Kiké is Marcus-Smart-ing tonight

Thank you PSF! This took courage, at a time when it's badly needed.

it is 2-2 in the 6th, why tf does Marlins Man have his visor rally cap'd lol

Went to NBC to "just get eyes on" NBA opening night. An hour has passed and I'm still here 😅

Gary Graf, a Chicago Heights Catholic priest, began a 50-day justice walk from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton to New York.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Sox season ended like an hour ago and ESPN already sent me a "here are their key free agents" notification. YES I CLICKED IT, but still bruh cmon! Anyway go Sox, great season 🥲

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

DIRTY WATER AND TESSIE AND ETC LETS FUCKING GO

To you-know-who and all his ghouls: STFU about Chicago 😘

Weirdest HR of the season just happened, go Sox: www.mlb.com/redsox/video...

Ceddanne Rafaela should win a Gold Glove for Center AND Second Base 😘 (1/n)

NEW: Black women are 3-4x more likely to die during childbirth than their white peers. Through the Curbside Care program, the Celtics work to ensure all mothers have access to critical care. Derrick White is at the center: "He's just an incredible person." www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...

Diego Luna!! May the Force be with you!!!! #USMNT 🦅

Still not over Marcus Smart, and now Raffy?? My little heart can only take so much 😭

Let's all be thankful we got this, and not Knicks - Twolves #NBAFinals

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It’s official. Angel Reese as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds. 😮‍💨 #WNBA #AngelReese

I built R from source yesterday, for the first time ever, and for a real reason. And I might just do it again tonight. This is what I've become 🫠

If you follow me for the things I post about making computers go beep boop, plz read this essay by @grimalkina.bsky.social www.fightforthehuman.com/why-i-cannot... The word "technical" as used in software spaces has always made me wince, this piece describes why better than I ever could.

The IMLS recently revoked a $500K grant to the Museum of African America History (MAAH), on Boston's Beacon Hill, saying it "no longer serves the interest of the United States". ✨ they are wrong ✨ 1. go visit! (it's a short, pleasant walk from the Common) 2. consider a donation? www.maah.org

Sorry Mark Cuban, there can only be one best account on this app and it's @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social

The one crazy trick open-source maintainers don’t want you to know for getting your PRs reviewed: get a maintainer excited about it before making the PR

I love "Reacher" and am thoroughly enjoying all the New England stuff (go Sox), but the whole "chowder for breakfast" thing was too much 😑

Thought I'd fully lost my grip on reality this week when I read a legitimate, written-by-a-human vulnerability report that said "this affects the Ingress NGINX Controller, but not the NGINX Ingress Controller". Computers are bad for you. Don't use computers.

I try to never share a social post with a link whose content I haven't read. That wasn't enough in this case... I fell for this story too, and helped spread it. Agree with something I read recently: we live in a world of "precision-targeted confirmation bias".

Today is International Women's Day, and I would like to take the chance to celebrate all the women that do amazing work in Open Source projects. I'm closer to the Python and PyData world, but please comment in the thread adding women you'd like to celebrate. Look for awesome women in the threads.

The primary maintainer of `hadolint` (the 10k+ ⭐ Dockerfile linter) just popped up to say "no, this project isn't abandoned, I've just been focusing on my offline life". If you use that project, I think it'd be cool to show your appreciation by dropping a ❤️ on this: github.com/hadolint/had...

🧵This. If an elected doesn't hold townhalls, do like @indivisible.org & go to their offices with a few friends. -Tell your local paper (of any size) when & where you'll be -Take a lot of pictures & post to social -Write a letter to the editor* of that paper about what happened *LTE tips, next! 1/

If you come talk about science or #python or both at this conference in Tacoma, I will give you stickers. STICKERS, people, STICKERS!

#lightgbm 4.6.0 is now available! Highlights: * support for #python 3.13 * support for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs * support for Alpine Linux in the #rstats package * misc. improvements for NumPy, Arrow, and pandas inputs * adjustments for @scikit-learn.org 1.6 github.com/microsoft/Li...

As we head into the weekend, friendly reminder for all you link-clickers out there 🥰

The CfP for @scipyconf.bsky.social 2025 is open! cfp.scipy.org/scipy2025/cfp Submissions are due by February 26th. If you have something to say about #science, #Python, and using Python for science please consider submitting a talk, tutorial, or poster! For more, see www.scipy2025.scipy.org

Haven't done significant #rstats development in a little bit, doing some this week, and ummmm..... this rules???

Hey #chicago friends, 😊 GOOD THING ALERT 😊 The "Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM)" at South Suburban College in South Holland, IL... recycle your hard-to-recycle stuff, even styrofoam and I-PASS transponders! www.ssc.edu/charm/

Today I learned how to archive a @conda-forge.org feedstock: conda-forge.org/docs/maintai... Started that process for an old project of mine that never caught on. That'd make me `-1, +0` on projects so far for 2025, good start 😊

In my experience, the most likely place that the next bug will be found in software is, in order: 1. the code that was touched most recently 2. the code that has been untouched the longest The middle stuff is probably ok.

coolest thing I learned today = wheelodex 🤩 Calculates "reverse dependencies" for projects on @pypi.org, similar to how CRAN does for #rstats packages! example: 13,000+ #Python packages depend on @scikit-learn.org (www.wheelodex.org/projects/sci...) source: github.com/wheelodex/wh...
