Let me post a *non*-subskeet for once... We made a thing! discuss.python.org/t/pep-810-ex... #Python #PEP

Just remember, "I was just following orders" didn't work for those concentration camp guards...

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

one of these days I really should get started on trying to convince the glibc folks to add a dlopen-from-memory feature, so that maybe we finally get that feature sometime this decade 😅

🐸Bluesky Reptile and Amphibian friends! We have a major issue here in Atlanta. The Amphibian Foundation is being removed from their building next year and needs funds to help relocate their conservation populations. Please donate if you can!

Apparently the UK adult verification thing has basically banned blind people from half of the internet because they can't use the verification system 🫣

I hate living in a capitalist society so much. we are treated like machines, and if I can't work I am just broken and useless.

The Python Steering Council is pleased to announce that the Free-Threading project is no longer considered experimental! discuss.python.org/t/pep-779-cr...

once again watching Beautiful Creatures bc feelings 🙃

The 2025 PSF Board Election is coming up soon 🗳️ Whether you tell a #Python friend, share our social media posts, vote, or decide to run, your engagement in the election makes all the difference! Check out the timeline on our blog:

ADHD is so fun when it makes you forget to sleep, and then you can't actually sleep, end up staying awake for 3 days, and when you finally can, you sleep for 24h 🙃

uh, I just discovered that Portugal has a pretty strong archival initiative! it's pretty cool, not sure how I missed it previously 😅 sobre.arquivo.pt/en/

omg, Dazey And The Scouts is releasing a Maggot LP with the trans flag colors 😭 getbetterrecords.com/products/daz...

ft-checker.com You can check that the top 1000 libraries at PyPI are installable at a free threading build. (Still needs improvement, and plan to check whether it passes the unit test)

The spec for pylock.toml is up! packaging.python.org/en/latest/sp...

Less than one week to: 🥧 Python 3.14 beta! The feature freeze marks 5 months of stabilisation. Please test! peps.python.org/pep-0745/ 🕒 Forget 3.14 (please don't, please test), Python 3.15 development begins! Check out the new release PEP: peps.python.org/pep-0790/ #Python #Python314 #Python315

the standards survived the power outage, still in cal 😊

also, if you know anyone that runs an archival website, and might be interested in collaborating, please put us in contact! thank you ❤️

do I know anyone with contacts, or any sort of communication channel, with the folks at archive.org? I want to get in contact for archival purposes

my Jeol JSM-5600LV SEM used to at least try to *start* to pump down, now it opens V5 and V8 and bails out just seconds after 😢

FWIW, it seems like the car doesn't need the ECU at all 🙃. it starts and runs without it, since it's a diesel and the injection pump is mechanical, from what I can tell the ECU basically only reads the speedometer and revolution sensors and sends that data to the dash

each day I am getting more and more burnt out from Python packaging, if anyone knows of any technologically challenging python or embedded position (or contracting work), let me know. can only do remote, but working hours are very flexible.

I FINALLY asked for pronouncement on PEP 751 -- lock files for #Python : peps.python.org/pep-0751/ .

Well, time to get the ball rolling on the next phase of PEP 703 (getting rid of the global interpreter lock): discuss.python.org/t/pep-779-cr... #Python #threading

The PSF is excited to share that Thomas Wouters has been awarded our Distinguished Service Award for his 25 years of service, dedication, and behind-the-scenes work which have helped shape the PSF and the #Python community into what they are today 👏👏

just received an ad email for scientific market research with a sample report for cerium bromide scintillator detectors... what kind of ad list am I 🫣

dealing with electrical issues on my 1996 Ford Maverick (Nissan Terrano II / Nissan Mistral) is like playing whack-a-mole 🙃

“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in different rooms” I would argue no one should travel to the U.S. right now because it’s important to vote with your wallet. Don’t spend tourist dollars there Another reason? The threat of being detained by ICE. It’s not safe in America

crucial detail: samples that are required to be kept at LN temperatures, are at risk of thawing because of interruptions of supply of LN. risks decades of taxpayer-funded research being ruined.

how are folks feeling about traveling to the US for PyCon? because each day that passes I get more scared about it. like, it feels infinitely more scary to travel to the US than Morocco, for eg.

I let my car battery die while I was working on it, so now I am charging it with an HP/Agilent 6653A 🙃

THEY ARE DEFUNDING MEDICAID AND BUYING CYBERTRUCKS WITH THE MONEY. Dems stop saying "uh he promised he would lower the cost of living" and take the layup

what the hell is happening with this GNOME drama apparently involving Debian, Mozilla, and Albanian citizens for some reason?? I hope it's just ehat is looks like... some deranged person's ramblings

I finally have a car again, yay 😊

ngl, with all this I am strongly considering whether or not to attend PyCon US this year, it literally doesn't feel safe

just found out that if I drink orange juice, it makes one of my meds 5x its bloodstream input, which basically knocks me out 🙃

“The scientist in me is in disbelief at how stupid it is. How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology and then legislate about it?” @msjpauly.bsky.social talked to @kateclancy.bsky.social about the absurdity of Trump’s exec order for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wow what a shock for the millionth time in a row a guy who has been talking about defending women for years now wants to remove women's rights too who could have seen this coming

running a Python user feedback post on xiaohongshu, let's see what kind of response I get 😅

I was reminded today that when creating case-insensitive strings, Use .casefold() instead lower(). I probably would have continued to use lower() had it not been for hypothesis, which I've been trying to use more and more for testing. - https://kjaymiller.com/microblog/202501160326.html

today's achievement: learning more about linkers that I probably should (because now I only have more questions 😅)

for christmas I got myself something kinda silly I have always wanted: a comically large spanner wrench

why is it so hard to find machining contact dye in the EU? like Dykem Hi-Spot Blue (US), Permatex Prussian Blue (US), or Stuarts Micrometer Blue (UK)
