Went to #sensorio in Paso Robles last week. The pictures off my camera didn't do it justice, the 5-min edit off my DSLR is a bit closer.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Lorenanicole/116579934968873991 &quot;so I told the so that Django Reinhardt played guitar with the wrong number of fingers&quot; - ME, paraphrasing Paolo #PyConUS

Seeing Pablo spell out how AI contributions can accelerate the pipeline that caused the XZ incident is... Upsetting, but obvious in retrospect. #PyConUS

Can this be the cathedral metaphor we use in open source now? #PyConUS

ahahahahahahah fuck 😭 @amcasari got me in ~45 seconds. #PyConUS

&quot;not everything needs to scale&quot; is why nbpy continues to work at sub-100 attendees #PyConUS
Post #2664049
I am just so glad that @amcasari ended up adjacent to the Python community. What an absolutely necessary keynote. #PyConUS

RE: https://publicidentity.net/@jezdez/116398033532950758 Did you know that the PSF has to pay for most of the hotel rooms reserved around #PyConUS if attendees don&#39;t book them? You can help #PyConUS be just a tiny bit more of a success by booking a hotel oom through our official channels!

RE: https://researchbuzz.masto.host/@danlyke/116483398203313355 This talk is about maths, queer subcultures, gender roles, henry ford, and so many more things than implied by just the title. Yes, one of the most #NBPy talks at this year&#39;s #NBPy.

And I also gave a talk aboout #NBPy built around a paper from the mid-1980s. What is &quot;the truth&quot; or &quot;correct&quot; in programming? Very little. And that means we need to properly understand what it is that we do and what we make. https://youtu.be/d7AeWFbOTHg

For the time being, we&#39;re leaving behind a venue that&#39;s been so kind to us, and I&#39;m definitely a little bit sad about that. But #NBPy gives me hope, and fills me for the coming year. So, see you all next year, in a different building, but still in the best little town, with the best community in tech. Thank you all! 💙💚
Post #1750599
I encourage attendees of #NBPy to donate &quot;if they got more value out of the conference than what they paid&quot;. Today, our post-conference donations total more than a Silver Sponsorship. We have a truly wonderful community who care about us continuing to do what we do. I&#39;m so grateful.

I see that by @glyph not speaking this year, he&#39;s getting a heckle-mention in half the talks. Let this be a lesson, or something. 🤔 #NBPy

I hear it&#39;s #NBPy next week?

My dear @robin is running a fundraiser for transition-related medical expenses that we&#39;d really prefer to not have to defer. Current goal is the cost of the very specific health insurance we need to maintain. That alone would be an amazing result. DEETS: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-robin-take-flight

Some things that I hold true about software engineering: 1. Systems can gain modified functionality by accretion (i.e. additional code is created), or through alteration (i.e. new code replaces old code).

We had a heat pump water heater installed last week, and I&#39;ve just realised we&#39;ve invented the most ridiculous solar hot water system ever: the sun hits solar panels on the roof to provide the power to the fan, which pulls hot air from the attic, heated by the sun&#39;s radiation hitting the uninsulated roof, the heat pump directs that heat into the water. Solar power, with an obscene amount of indirection.

Some regrettable personal news: As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I&#39;m still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y&#39;all have. (I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare) #GetFediHired
