I've released 2.14.0 of build-and-inspect-python package; your friendly GitHub Action that prevents embarrassing PyPI uploading mistakes. Main reason for a rather rushed release is that some people seem to get Python 3.14 when asking GHA for `3.x`. github.com/hynek/build-and-in...

Yes, forcing users to upload documents for age verification is going to end very badly. Collecting sensitive documents, like ID is an especially bad idea. Do not collect shit that you do not need to collect, ever. If it's not collected it can't be leaked. That is all.

As a researcher, I learned 2 code the hard way on my own. I wrote messy MATLAB scripts that worked on my computer 😅. No training, just curiosity. I founded @pyopensci.org so people like my former self don't have to struggle alone building #OpenScience workflows. Community matters. Especially now. 💛

Thanks to @trey.io and @hugovk.dev I learned about PYTHONSTARTUP today. You can see how I've decided to use it (which will probably evolve.) brassnet.biz/til/20251009...

On RubyGems & Governance: pup-e.com/blog/on-ruby... Many programmers have no interest in formal governance processes, but letting people act and speak on our behalf without our input is what got us here. The path forward is for the community to speak up and take direct ownership of what we make.

Why do people expect that every 3rd party library will work with a new version of Python the day it ships? Updating libraries to work with the new version can be a complex and time consuming process. Most of these libraries are maintained by unpaid volunteers. Keep your expectations real. #Python

Today’s existential dread is brought to you by the reminder that slop is training on slop, and the only “good” slop is slop that was trained on data or media that existed before slop was invented, or on the exploitation of humans generating new bespoke content purely to feed the slop machine.

Being rude to AI is bigotry? Dude. It is code. It isn't a person. It has no feelings. Instead of worrying about AI's nonexistent feelings, there are plenty of people in the world who could use some help right now.

Thinking today about how every single Jewish institution I've ever visited has to have a ton of security. I've never walked through a metal detector to go to a Christian institution. That's Christian privilege. I hope for the day when Jewish people have no need for security at their institutions.

Been working on this for the last few months, and it's really really important to me. We've got some really cool games and folks. Please come by and watch the stream and donate!

I think all humans deserve healthcare. Regardless of your citizenship, your criminal history, or whatever else. Healthcare should not be a privilege only allowed for some classes of people.

A quick call for help: many moons ago I've seen a rage-style comic on Twitter that shows the diff btw junior & senior developers (happy, listening to EDM, shipping vs old man w/ long beard, sitting in dark, next to a tower of literal shit, bleary eyes). I can't find it anymore – any clues?
