As humans, we have a great tradition of naming "new" types of numbers with hostility, don't we?

  • Negative
  • Irrational
  • Complex
  • Imaginary

@atoponce Iโ€™d rather be complex than simple.

Don't save good things for a mythical future "special occasion" that may never come. Don't leave pretty journals blank for fear of ruining them with your words. Don't leave the nice wine on the rack to get corked.

Use the good things to make today the special occasion. When they come to clear your house when you're dead, let them find full journals and empty bottles. Not the other way around.

(The bottles can be from fancy olive oil or something if booze isn't your thing. ๐Ÿ˜‰)

@mattip @pythonbytes @mkennedy Yes. Good idea. Weโ€™ll bring that up next week.

An underrated approach to getting feedback on your podcast is to do a Listener Survey.

Create a survey, and link to it in your podcast's show notes. Mention during the audio portion of the show, and emphasize that you want honest feedback from listeners so you can make the show better.

Here is a free Listener Survey template you can use:

@transistor Thanks. Iโ€™ve been looking for good questions to ask.

@sourcenouveau Intentionally welcoming randomness in my life has often proved enjoyable.

We spread garden compost last year, and now these little guys are growing all over the garden. So cute. Anyone know what variety they are?

    @chrisjrn Thanks. Thatโ€™s not obvious that they are not against policy. N95 recommended, then a list of unacceptable alternatives. I guess I assumed surgical fell into the unacceptable alternatives. Iโ€™m glad I was wrong. Iโ€™d like to talk about the outer points out of band. BTW, Iโ€™m not in a band. ;)

    Anyone know of a good way to test that a Python function raises an expected exception when there's no internet connection?
    @brianokken @mkennedy @leahawasser @ucodery

    Realized my library that uses the excellent pooch from @leouieda et al throws an error when there's no internet connection
    https://github.com/vocalpy/vocalpy/issues/152
    (my fault for using pooch wrong)

    Should've done it the way skimage did, as usual (hi @jni)
    https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/blob/0862e5630a00c151566260f02d118f4ee46bb351/skimage/data/

    1/2

    @nicholdav @mkennedy @leouieda @leahawasser @ucodery @jni Nice. Glad you found a solution. Rather elegant use of a comprehension for parametrization values, as well.

    I just kicked off PyCon 2024 with the first talk of the Language Summit (and my first talk at PyCon!): "Should Python adopt CalVer?" It was an interesting discussion, let's see!

    The view of the language summit from the lectern.

    @mahmoud @hugovk Iโ€™ll put in one vote for RandVer

    brianokken,
    @brianokken@fosstodon.org avatar

    @hugovk @mahmoud I think more of variations of random.
    SemVer and CalVer are well-ish defined
    Everything else that looks like either but doesnโ€™t behave right is RandVer.
    Most projects, including the current Python versioning, fall into RandVer variations.

    You know that Parks and Rec episode where thereโ€™s an Easter egg hunt and the kids canโ€™t find any eggs, because there arenโ€™t any.
    For this year, is the park, and Iโ€™m one of the eggs.
    Enjoy PyCon and talk with lots of people, but donโ€™t look for me. :)

    Almost all bday party invites for my 4 year old specify "No gifts please" or "No gifts necessary" - and I totally get why, I added it to hers as well. Are we moving towards a society that's not so into gifting? Or is this only a thing at certain income levels?

    brianokken,
    @brianokken@fosstodon.org avatar

    @pamelafox I would have loved that. My kids are past the BDay party phase. But when they were younger, tons of kids expected gifts for attending the party. We had small prizes for games, but I was mortally opposed to party favor gifts.
    I like the idea of โ€œplease no giftsโ€.
