🔥 Meet our Keynote Speakers for #SciPy2025! Hon. Dr. Kathryn D. Huff 🇺🇸, nuclear engineer, policy leader, and former Assistant Secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy will be joining us in Tacoma! 🙌 Don't miss her talk, grab your ticket now: hubs.la/Q03sdlsb0

I'll be at @pydatalondon.bsky.social this weekend. On Friday we are running a GPU Accelerated Python tutorial where we will dig into CUDA development in Python with Numba, RAPIDS and more. Hope to see lots of folks there! cfp.pydata.org/london2025/t...

Hey all, come join our virtual session this Thursday and Boost Your Command-Line Chops! This is hosted by the wonderful Rachel Kaufman, and we'll have folks on hand to help get you up to speed! www.meetup.com/women-and-ge...

Spotify is down...

Found where Vibe coders get their work done...

I was ready to play an ultimate frisbee tournament and have a great weekend. Woke up sick... 🫠

Severancely? 10 episodes for that, now what?

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.

Office view of the day! #RemoteWork

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

There is still time, go ahead and submit a talk!! This is a great conference (by far my favorite one).

Your outie's code works on the first try

We also invested some time in this release into refactoring to try to make contributing easier. If you've never looked, or it's been a while, check out the "good first issue" list at github.com/microsoft/Li... ... wouldn't it be cool if your name was on the next release???

How it started (pun intended) / how it's going. Loving the scrapping method to maintain the starter from "bake with Jack" youtube.

📣 Do you need help writing a successful proposal for #SciPy2025? We will be hosting multiple SciPy 2025 Proposal Writing Office Hours 📝 - Friday, Feb 14, 2:30-3:30pm ET - Tuesday, Feb 18, 1-2pm ET - Thursday, Feb 20, 8-9pm ET - Monday, Feb 24, 5-6pm ET 💁‍♀️ Sign up here: https://buff.ly/42RwRhy

About to start assembling my new e-bike. Out of the box, let's see how it goes. #Ride1Up

Interestingly, @tessak22.bsky.social is posting her support of Donald Trump and of anti-trans Executive Orders on Twitter but not over here. Devrel friends 👀

@pycon.us in the website says that the notification of the CFP was going out yesterday and today. If we haven't received an email, does that mean we are rejected or things are still being processed? The status on pretalx still says submitted.

After multiple tries I can say I'm very proud of this sourdough loaf. Just baked, waiting for it to cool down (so hard to resist)!

Hey Geo and Climate folks, what is a workflow you'd like to see a talk or demo, that uses GPUs at some point (e.g Pytorch).

Regretting (sort of) doing heavy leg and back day, the day before travelling overseas. Feeling sore AF. 🫠

In the last 24h I have seemed to gain 100+ followers. If you are one of them first hi 👋 thank you for following me, second would you mind sharing how you find me? My guess is I'm probably in some lists, I'd like to know which ones. If you are here because of the DuckCon talk, comment 🦆

It was great talking at #DuckCon today. Thanks to the @duckdb.org team for the invitation!! Slides and demo link in the comments.

Only 2.5 weeks until DuckCon #6 in Amsterdam. We have a strong line-up: the presenters will explain how to use DuckDB for tabular, spatial and graph-shaped data, how to solve financial and healthcare use cases, and how to orchestrate and visualize queries. Full program: duckdb.org/events/2025/...

If you're interested in GPU support in Polars my RAPIDS colleague Lawrence and a few others are running a live session on Jan 28th. info.nvidia.com/nvidia-polar...

The #SciPy2025 Call for Proposals is live (as of mid December 2024, sorry forgot to share) over on scipy2025.scipy.org! Deadline for submissions is 2025-02-26, so get submitting!

Power outage in the neighbourhood, looks like a transformer blow up, luckly today is 65F in DC. Off to the aerospace museum, the one with the big planes!. Hopefully power will be back when we are back.

What's your take on linkedin dm's of the type: - "Hey, I notice you work at ... would you refer me and tell me about the interview process"? - don't know or remeber the person but we are 1st contact according to lunkedin - they have never contacted me until now. Do you reply? If so what?

Choose your own greeting: Merry Christmas / Happy Day Off y'all!

Are you interested in AI, Science and Space, or do you know a student who is (high school included, age 16+)? NASA's internship program is a fantastic opportunity! stemgateway.nasa.gov/s/course-off...

Hi y'all, I'll be talking at #DuckCon on January 2025. I'll be sharing how to leverage the power of @duckdb.org's geospatial capabilities while staying within the Python ecosystem using Ibis. I’ll show you how to work with GeoParquet data and create nice maps that won’t kill your laptop.

Tell me your #TechGiving act of the day/week. I tried to get my sister inlaw's inlaws to use a password manager. I'm not sure I succeded. 🫠

It's that time of the year again!. Can we just make Negroni a thing and forget about freaking pumpking spice?

Ibis now has support for DuckDB geospatial functions! I've been working on this and I wrote a blog about it. Check it out! ibis-project.org/posts/ibis-d...

it’s AI if you need money for GPUs, it’s ML if you need money for K8s

Today I made baguettes : )
