Happy end of #PyconUS day 1 everyone - looking forward to a good day 2 tomorrow.

Sadly due to my late arrival at #PyconUS I'll have to miss the typing summit. The announcements of Ty and Pyrefly are the biggest news of the conference so far. Excited to see how well these work as LSP servers going forward.

#PyConUS I'm heading out to Pittsburgh on Friday, but not arriving to PIT until about 6:30pm. Are there any events happening later Friday evening?

PEP 751 has been accepted! peps.python.org/pep-0751/ This means #Python now has a lock file standard that can act as an export target for tools that can create some sort of lock file. And for some tools the format can act as their primary lock file format as well instead of some proprietary format.

Thanks to the staff in particular and all who participated in #SCALE22x, it was fantastic to see the community together in person. I'm already looking forward to next year.

TIL at #SCALE22x : The flox.dev installer on MacOS will take care of the #Nix installation for you, and the /nix partition (needed because of SIP) will autosize based on need.

Leslie Lamport finds a bug in his own slides. It happens to all of us. #SCALE22x

Sage advice at Leslie Lamport's keynote at #SCALE22x : "What language should we use? Think about ideas, not the language they're expressed in."

TIL at #SCALE22x , much of the flox.dev tooling is written in #Rust .

Pasadena convention center event screens obviously not running Linux. #SCALE22x

Pop-up BOF (Birds of a Feather) list for #SCALE22x Saturday night

Great quotes from @kylegospodneti.ch at his talk "#Bazzite , The next generation of Linux gaming" at #SCALE22x : ""#Flathub is a controversial topic in some circles, I don't think it should be." "Pragmatism is better for your audience than idealism" (ref. to closed source Steam / Discord / NVidia)

Most common phrase heard at #SCALE22x: "Cloud Native" Glad I hear it more than AI.

Here's an authorized peek at one of the #SCALE22x NOC dashboards. 125 up Access Points if you were wondering. Thanks for all the heavy lifting.

TIL at #SCALE22x : The choice by Valve SteamOS to use #KDE as their desktop environment was arguably the first solid proof of a widely commercially successful KDE distribution, which has been a catalyst for ongoing KDE adoption.

Next #SCALE22x talk for me is What the Heck is #KiCad, and Can I Really Make My Own Electronics?

The ol' trusty Aranet4 CO2 sensor reads 1233 in #Scale22x room 105 after the Home automation talk, it was 877 before. These aren't bad numbers at all for a crowded room, but I'm still wearing a trusty 3M Aura 9205 given that it's still Flu season and I want to keep my family healthy.

Now attending "Are we really making the most of our Smart Home Technology" at #SCALE22x

"Rethinking the Container layer with #Nix" at #Scale22x, rethinking the linear layered approach of Dockerfiles vs the graph of dependencies of most build systems

"Rethinking the Container Layer with #Nix" at #SCALE22x: "Docker images accidentally became a packaging technology. Containers are not a packaging format."

At the "Rethinking the Container Layer with #Nix" talk at #SCALE22x . "Where we're going, we won't need overlays"

"LLM's say this a lot" - lots of laughter from the audience in Solomon Hyke's #Scale22x keynote.

Solomon Hykes understandably confuses #Scale22x with "Scale25" in his keynote. The ever famous "off by three" bug with SCALE conference names.

Emergency silver alert causes everyone's phones to go off during the UpSCALE session at #Scale22x
