  If you're at #PyOhio my talk, "This is Not the NaN You're Looking For" is at 2:15 in Ballroom B. Come and learn about floats that aren't numbers and have some fun in the process.

  I have been having so much fun at #PyOhio so far! I didn't manage to go to any talks yesterday other then the keynotes or my own - I was too busy getting myself ready and doing the final things for it - but I have had so many great conversations. Was great being able to hang out with people I had seen but not interacted too much with at #PyConUS. Looking forward to today when I have much less on my plate. Highlights are @itsthejoker telling us anout lambdas and @chrisjrn 's closi...

  You don't need sprints at a Python conference to contribute! https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/154746 I opened an issue I discovered while preparing for my talk. #PyOhio

  Happy to be in the room as @chrisjrn instructs on statistics and communication in the #PyOhio closing keynote.

  I am so glad I decided to drive to #PyOhio. What a great experience! Great talks, great keynotes, great conversations. The people who came to my talk were so supportive and gave me wonderful feedback. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Can't recommend highly enough.

  I ported the FediDevs starter pack I had built for @webology 's Office Hours people to be a Mastodon collection. If you're there in error (or missing but should be there!) let me know and I'll fix it! https://twit.social/collections/116995216133404810

  Can I say how awesome it is that I can find an issue, talk to some people and make sure it's not just me, and push up a fix so that other people don't hit the same thing. This is the power of Open Source. This is what makes #Python great.

  I spent this past weekend in Cleveland attending #PyOhio. I have thoughts. And feelings. You can read all about them here. https://brassnet.biz/blog/recapping-pyohio-2026.html

  While I was at #PyOhio I went to hear @itsthejoker talk about lambdas. Great talk. Y'all should definitely watch it when the videos are up. As a throwaway at the top of the talk, Joe talked about ~ and using it for simplified list access from the right. I thought it was really cool so I wrote it up. I hope you think it's cool too. https://brassnet.biz/til/20260728.html

  I decided to turn back time and do #AdventOfCode 2015. I've done through problem 16 so far. OMG these are so fun! They're original. They're a little brain twisty without being out of this world hard. The last couple of years the problems had been somewhat repetitive - same concept with a different twist. Not that they weren't fun but they were solving the same problem. I hope that with fewer problems we'll get back to more original things.

  And after watching @chrisjrn 's heavy (and extremely important!) talk I'm watching @baconandcoconut 's talk about needing more cats in the #Python community as a palate cleanser. #NBPy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlAY1bLRBs

  I printed a little mascot for us to have at @ThePSF booth at #PyConUS next month. Come say hi to it and us while you're there!

  I have decided that from now on, intermittent bugs shall be called "cicadas". No questions will be entertained at this time.

  RE: https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/116491660763212975 I have it on good authority that @treyhunner plans on doing the Cabo and other card game sessions in the Westin lobby. #PyConUS

  I plan on going to #PyOhio this summer and I want to hear what you have to say! Submit a talk or 3 because I know you have something we all want to hear! If you're not sure what folks reviewing talks proposals (or offers) look for, check out this post I did about what I was looking for when I reviewed the talk submissions for #PyConUS 2026! https://brassnet.biz/blog/picking-talks-for-pycon-us.html https://fosstodon.org/@pyohio/116364092591730045

  If you're coming to #PyConUS next month 🤯 you really should book your hotel through the PyCon US block. The blog post gives some of the reasons (chief among them is the PSF has to pay for the empty rooms!) but, IMO, the most important one is the conference spills out of the halls and talks and into the hotels every morning and evening. It's a great way to spend more time with your Pythonistas outside of the conference center. And don't forget the cabo and game nights! ht...

  I think this deserves a bit more than just a toot, so here's a blog post. https://brassnet.biz/blog/nan-is-weird.html https://twit.social/@brass75/116160555400260792
